I thought the hell hounds came to collect a debt I forgot about...

I got the scare of my life last night!  I may be exaggerating but I was quite frightened.  I had just started having a great dream when I heard a faint knock.  Thinking it was a dreaming dog kicking the dresser I relaxed.  Then I heard something moving under the bed.  Like the pushing of a box.  Okaaaaaaay I am awake.  It is pitch black in my room and everyone that makes me feel safe is snoring.  So I sit there and listen (I had ear plugs in but I was scared to take them out).  From the depths of the darkness I hear this  deep grumbling growl.  It sounded angry and evil and not like a noise I'd ever heard come from one of my fur babies. *whimper* I should say goodbye since clearly I am not going to live through this. 

So I took out the ear plugs and....silence...nothing...no growling, no shuffling just the light snoring of dogs and husband.  Was I dreaming?!?  So I tried to settle back down to sleep but I just couldn't relax.  Then I heard the knocking again and the growl.  What the hell?!?  Took out the earplugs and listened.  Again, silence.  Seriously I am losing it.  No more horror movies/books for me. 

I decided not to put the earplugs back in and just laid there in the dark listening.  Just as I started to dose off I heard the growl, it was getting closer and deeper like it was on the floor by my head.  Then I felt something tugging on the end of the comforter by my feet.  *shit shit shit* what is that?!?! At this point I thought I was about to die a horrible death like those crazy people in horror movies who don't run but just sit and wait...in the dark.  I was sitting up backing up against the head board when this shadow effing kamikazed me right in the face!  I mean like an alien face hugger was the only image that came to mind.  I screamed, everyone else woke up, there was another thump onto the bed, growling and then this inhuman screeching.  This happened in seconds.  My brain finally registered what was going on.  The thing that hit my face was furry. It had razor blade nails/teeth.  Ah-ha, there was a cat/kitten fight happening pretty much in my lap. 

Apparently the new kitten who happens to be black as night finally figured out she can go further than the living room and got into the bedroom.  Old lady kitty was pissed and was growling.  I've heard her make weirdo noises before but this was a new noise.  The knocking was the kitten coming over the puppy gate, the shuffling was...I dunno she was playing with something under the bed and the tugging was her climbing up the comforter.  I didn't think "oh its a kitten" because she was locked up in another part of the house!  Apparently she got out...yay!

I mean she did me a favor...I now know my heart functions properly.
