I don’t know how, but it’s the only    
thing that explains it, especially     
after that first time.                 
     She’d been up all night talking to
her Cat buddies and was sleeping the   
morning away, “when something woke me  
up. I didn’t know what it was for a    
second, but then something drilled     
right into my brain, and it was so in- 
tensely painful, I almost screamed for 
it to stop.                            
     “It sounded something like this,” 
she said and opened her mouth, but     
nothing came out.                      
     Even though I couldn’t hear any-  
thing, something was making me feel un-
comfortable and a little on edge.      
     “What the hell, Cat? I don’t hear 
a thing.”                              
     “Really?” she said and opened her 
* mouth, but nothing came out again.       
     “Still nothing but STOP IT!       
PLEASE!” I yelled, because it was still
putting me on edge, and then added,    
“Maybe it’s too high for me to hear,   
but I can sure feel something, and it’s
not pleasant either.”                  
     “Maybe that’s what gets ‘em off?” 
     “Could be, but it certainly       
doesn’t get me off,” I said, and then  
remembered, “What stopped you from     
screaming?”                            
     “I might’ve fainted a couple      
times, but what really stopped me was  
when I saw where it was coming from,”  
the Cat said and got a really angry    
look on her face.
