    Why would cats form a circle around you?
    Last night my friend and I wa walking home, it was about 03:00. I had a little to drink but my friend was sober. While walking through a car park a group of about 12 cats came to us and formed a near on perfect circle around us both, why would this be? I cannot find anything on line.

    You had a little to drink but your friend was sober? This would indicate to me that you were not sober which leads me to my opinion - this is NOT standard cat behavior. Sitting in a "near on perfect circle" is certainly not cat behavior.

    Are you sure this is what happened?

    100% my friend was driving and I wasn't overly intoxicate and no we weren't on drug either.

    First you said the two of you were walking. Now you were driving.

    Which is it?

    (I never said anything about drugs.)

    I've been owned by cats all my life and probably was one in another life. This is not cat behavior, so I'm somewhat reluctant to accept your description of events. Even cats in the wild don't act like this.

    Did you feel like prey? (or praying?)

    Were you guys driving or walking? Make up your mind.

    Maybe the cats were looking to roll you guys for money.

    You said about being not being sober and I said no my friend was driving, so was sober we were walking through the carpark.

    There are legends that cats can foresee death or bad things that will happen to people. Often a cat will or may try to stop you from doing something dangerous. They may be foretelling some grave event about to happen.

    If you talk to her, would you please ask? Experts couldn't find it - and I think it's interesting (and scary).

    I can tell you that in 1999 not long after my brother passed I had a argument with my boyfriend and ran down the street to my other brother down the street which would have been like ten minutes away I then realised my cat had followed me and he was alway's hung around me I really loved that cat and it too passed rest his soul... but back to the story he'd followed me and I then kept him with me I then got to my brothers and chilled out for a bit and then thought I'm going to go home now and it was really late too but I started walking home with my cat and then half way home my cat then started hissing at nothing and so I freaked and then these cats we're circleing me I don't know why but they we're and I can tell you this I am definitely a cat lover I've always looked after cats and I've always felt a connection with them but from what I gathered maybe they we're just protecting me I don't know what from but I just felt they we're but I can say I did end up picking my cat up and running home cause it freaked me out...

    What did you eat? Could you have eaten fish and maybe you smelled of it?
  • Apr 2, 2012, 03:53 PM
    lovemedonth8
    NO I did not eat fish and NO I did not smell... please give some real answers because I don't see this helping in anyway at all and why should I post at all if this doesn't help.

    I think everyone answering should accept that there are things that happen sometimes, and there's no logical explanation for it.

    All the long term members of this site know me, and know that I'm the kind of person that usually deals with facts, or experience. Well, I also believe that there are things that happen for which there is no easy explanation.

    Just because it's not on the internet, doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

    In other words, maybe lovemedonth8 has a point. Her explanation is as good as any other explanation we can offer.

    I've always believed that animals have a deeper connection to the things that we, as humans, cannot see, or choose not to see. They also have a sense about things. I've seen it in action.

    An example. My dog growing up was a silver poodle named Silver (I was so darn original, wasn't I?;)) Well, he was always a calm dog, did his own thing, but loved us dearly. The day the big tornado hit in our town, I was in Germany, my parents were home. I called my mom earlier that day, and she was worried. Not because there was a storm, or anything abnormal yet. The day was like any other, but Silver was acting very strange. He was following my mom everywhere she went. When my dad left for work that morning Silver blocked the door, growled. It wasn't normal. If he could have talked I'm sure he would have told them, but all he could do was be a dog.

    Well sure enough an F4 tornado hit not only the city close to us, but our small town as well. My dad worked in the city, and he was lucky to survive. My mom drove into the city that day, even though Silver tried to stop her, and she also survived.

    But Silver knew.

    So don't dismiss the supernatural, or sixth sense of animals. It does happen, every single day. If only they could talk. :)
