Insomnia For Dummies

Last night while I was trying to sleep, I heard Gizzmo’s meow.  “Meh” came a breathy hello from the darkness.  My door (which is rarely fully closed because of the cats) was nudged open.  I sat up in bed and looked.  No cat came in.  I heard a second “meh” and looked at the door.  No cat there.

At this point I did something I hadn’t ever done when it came to my cat haunting.  I called out for her.  As soon as I did, I felt something get on my bed, but there was nothing there.  I got freaked out and had to leave the room.

Returning an hour later, after a short walk outside at 2:30 a.m., I went to bed and slept for about an hour.  During that hour, I had one of my dreams that Gizzmo is sleeping on my shoulder.

I’m not sure if I like being haunted by Gizzmo.  I know that she’s not malicious, if anything she’s just keeping an eye on me, but it’s still a little creepy.

A few friends have told me that I’m just in mourning and that I miss her and I’m imagining all of this.  My brother also hears Gizzmo, usually the same night/time that I do.  Today I talked with him and he said that he was up around 2:30 and heard the first “meh” and heard my door open.  This has to be real.
