With their super vision and hearing, it’s only natural to believe cats sense more (a lot more!) than we do. Here’s what might be going on.

It’s not uncommon for people to be curious about whether cats can see ghosts.

This is one of many myths and legends involving fascinating felines throughout history.

Oxford Languages defines the supernatural as “attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature,” and this force and stories of cats are certainly intertwined.

Consider:

  • Ancient Egyptians didn’t exactly worship cats, but instead considered them full of divine energy, especially that of Bastet (or Bast), a cat-headed goddess.
  • Suspicious sailors the world over rarely left port without a few polydactyl (extra-toed) pussycats prowling the decks to ensure safe travels.
  • And while an old English wives’ tale states that black cats presented as wedding gifts bring good luck, Scottish and Irish folklore quivers with the ramblings of the cat sìth, a dark kitty that searches the countryside for souls to steal.

So here’s a question: Do you believe in ghosts?

According to a 2019 YouGov poll, approximately 45 percent of people surveyed do.

And how might your fur ball be acting that makes you think cats see ghosts, too?

After all, some people credit their heroic kitties for alerting them to cancer or meowing endlessly to help rescuers find their missing guardians.
