Iāve hear about how having cats makes you immune to hauntings, ghosts, spooky midnight noises etc but. for years Iāve been dealing with a panic response to unexpected nighttime noises, major enough that the adrenaline can keep me from falling back asleep for hours.
A few weeks of living with a cat and my brainās been reprogrammed. last night at 4am the furry little shitmuppet broke a vase & I only woke up long enough to call her a rat bastard & roll over back to sleep
Oh shit. This totally made me realize that it must have been my cat that killed my fear of the dark. I used to be intensely scared of walking into dark spaces. Hated any area where I had to turn a light off before I could turn another one on.
Enter my mostly black demon who likes to jump out of dark spaces at me.
Now I can just walk through dark rooms with no anxiety. Iām now used to the darkness taking physical form and jumping at me. At this point if a monster did jump out of the darkness Iād instinctively reach for the cat treats to offer it.
holy crap what other fears do cats make you immune to?
Iām no longer scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of demons with sharp claws & glowing eyes, iām scared to dangle my foot over the bed bc of one specific small furry demon with sharp claws & glowing eyes
#fuck off beelzebub my cat has dibs
