Love a woo story.
Me and 8 year old DD both sitting watching TV together when we hear a miow/squeaky squeal noise. Turned off the TV and both said ‘what on earth was that’. It sounded just like a cats miaow to me.
I went into the hall to investigate (we are staying at my parents large house and doors are left open due to heat so a cat could very well have got in) and I jumped out my skin as I felt a black cat walk past me through the door. Except it didn’t…? DD was like woah why did you jump like that?! And I could feel a specifically black cat there. But nothing.

Checked the other rooms- no cat. Closed the door and now just feel really spooked! Anyone want to share any stories??

This seems like a very niche experience OP. Did you know black cats are the most common cat type to not be adopted due to superstitions? So I don’t love anything that makes out they’re weird and otherworldly personally, sorry.

At the rescue I volunteer for, somebody reserved & paid for a young black cat. Lovely boy.

The day before she was due to pick him up, she announced with some embarrassment that she couldn’t take him after all because her mother, who was coming to live with her, thought black cats were something to do with the Devil and could she take a tabby instead?

I can’t remember the outcome but 🤯
