OoooooEEEEEEEoooooooo....

So I was just now sitting on the couch petting Alice - the more social, good-natured of our cats- when she did something totally unprecedented for her. She was deliriously enjoying being petted, when suddenly she stiffened, and actually growled deep in her throat. Not at me; she jumped down, raced around the coffee table, and jumped up on the other end of the couch, to stare fixedly, wide eyed at the front door. I heard nothing at all, but just as a precaution, I reached behind me and locked the door, before getting up to have a look.

There was no bug (and she wouldn't growl at a bug either), and I saw nobody through the peephole. Finally I opened the door- there was nobody there. Alice has settled down, but she's still keeping an eye on he door. I wonder what's going on?

That's my brave girl! She hisses at the vacuum, growls at the door when evil strangers like the repairman come by-- she's protecting us and Dorothy from noisy intruders.

Cats can hear more than we can (although not as much as dogs can). Something in an apartment several doors away could easily have triggered that growl.

Anu seems to have sensors that ring an alarm when the itty bitty weird teacup dog from next door is in the hallway. Even when teacup dog isn't making noise. Maybe Alice has similar sensors set up?
