it just occurred to me that cats are basically pet monsters

• go bump in the night
• scratches at your door
• alarming noises
• “where are you, kitty?” looks under bed to see a pair of luminous eyes staring out of the gloom, unblinking. “oh there you are!”
• you spot movement out of the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look you see nothing 
• turn back and THERE IT IS
