My neighbors cat often will sit very still and look for quite a while in one corner of the room. Always this same corner of the room. Her eyes move back and forth as though she is seeing some thing that is invisible to us.
What do you think is going on with this cat? What do you think has her so mesmerized?
Do you have a cat that does this? |

Obviously she is seeing a spirit from the other side.  |

Ours does that when there's a mouse in the wall.

I always wonder my cats are looking at when they do the same thing. Both of them will sit in the oddest places, with both of them staring at the same spot. They will sit there forever too. The funniest thing is when they do that, I will end up doing the same thing-all three of us sitting there staring at a blank wall.  |

Obviously something you cannot see.  |

Z*G had my answer. Damn cats. Dogs don't do that!  |

No, dogs just wake abruptly out of a sound sleep to bark at nothing at 10 PM when you're alone in the house, scaring the crap out of you.
I'll take a cat staring at the corner any day.

Maybe there are bees in the wall. Whose wall is it anyway? Your neighbor's car stares at its own wall or comes in your house and stares at your wall?

I always figure it's a ghost - some sort of spirit from another dimension that only the cat can see. That or a cobweb.  |

Mine sits in the big bathtub and stares at the drain. I have sat on the edge of the tub watching with him, but I see nothing. Not even a little spider. He's been doing this for years. It's getting creepy.

Obviously she is seeing a spirit from the other side. Definitely. Our two will sit on the landing and will both be so obviously be looking at and following the same thing. We've always thought that they are seeing something or someone from a different dimension. |

Rats or bugs in the walls Cats use their ears as much as their eyes when hunting. In a field, or under a bush, they will sit still for a long time, before suddenly jumping into one spesific spot. I tease my cat all the time by making scratching noises under a blanket and making her jump around. There's also a chance that the cat is seeing ghosts  |

They are listening as well as looking. My guess is an interesting sound on the other side of the dry wall has their attention... mouse, bug, water drip

If it is a sunny corner, he could be looking at dust floating. Mine does that.

It's probably a tiny bug or something. Ours do that on occasion. It's usually dust I need to clean up, a tiny bug or a slight shadow/light that always hits the same spot. Cats can be easily entertained. Mine sits in the big bathtub and stares at the drain. I have sat on the edge of the tub watching with him, but I see nothing. Not even a little spider. He's been doing this for years. It's getting creepy. One of our cats does this too. He sits there waiting for water drops, or is intrigued by the sound. |

When our cats do this it's usually a cobweb moving around a little. I think she's telling me it's time to clean.
