Ever catch your kitty giving you that knowing look? You’re not alone!
As a cat mom of 30 years, I’ve seen some seriously spooky behavior that’s made me wonder if my feline friends are more than meets the eye.
Let’s dive into 21 signs that might just prove your cat is a reincarnated human!
1. Your Сat Кesponds to Their Name… and Yours!
It’s one thing for your cat to come running when you call, but what about when you’re on the phone and say your name?
If your cat’s ears perk up, you might be dealing with a former human! My tabby cat always seems to know when I’m talking about him – or myself!
2. They’re Obsessed With Human Food
We all know cats can be picky eaters, but does your furball turn their nose up at kibble in favor of your dinner plate?
If your cat’s begging for spaghetti or eyeing your morning coffee, it might be a sign they’re longing for their past life’s cuisine!
3. Your Cat Watches TV… and His Favorite Shows
Plenty of cats bat at the screen when a bird flies by, but does yours settle in for a Netflix binge? My Siamese is glued to the TV whenever “Jeopardy!” is on. I swear she even meows the answers sometimes!
4. They Use the Toilet (or try to)
This one’s a real head-scratcher! If you’ve caught your cat perched on the toilet seat or pawing at the flush handle, you might have a reincarnated human on your hands.
Just be grateful they haven’t figured out how to use toilet paper… yet!
5. Your Cat Has Strong Opinions About Your Outfit Choices
Does your feline friend give you the side-eye when you put on that tacky holiday sweater?
Or maybe they curl up contentedly in your favorite dress? Cats with a fashion sense might be channeling their inner fashionista from a past life!
6. They’re Fascinated By Books and Newspapers
Sure, cats love to sit on whatever you’re reading, but does yours actually seem interested in the content?
If your kitty is pawing at specific articles or meowing at certain pages, they might be trying to catch up on current events!
7. Your Cat Has Eerily Human-Like Sleeping Positions
We’ve all seen cats in crazy contortions, but what about ones that sleep like people? If you find your furry friend sprawled out on their back, hands behind their head, it might be time to consider their past life!
8. They Have a Favorite Mug
This one gave me goosebumps! My ginger tom always bats at the same mug in my cupboard. Turns out, it belonged to my late grandfather. Coincidence? I think not!
9. Your Cat Tries to “Talk” to You
Meows are one thing, but does your cat make sounds that are almost… word-like? If you swear you can hear your kitty saying “hello” or “now,” you might be dealing with a reincarnated human trying to communicate!
10. They’re Unusually Interested in Your Hobbies
Does your cat paw at your knitting needles or sit on your yoga mat every time you roll it out? They might be trying to reconnect with pastimes from their human life!
11. Your Cat Has a Specific Taste in Music
We’ve all heard of cats reacting to music, but does yours have genre preferences? My calico purrs like a motorboat whenever I put on jazz, but hisses at country music. I’m pretty sure she was a beatnik in a past life!
12. They Try to Help With Chores
A cat that “helps” isn’t unusual, but one that actually seems to understand the task? If your kitty is pushing the broom or trying to fold laundry, you might have a former neat freak on your hands!
13. Your Cat Reacts to Certain Names or Places
Have you noticed your cat’s ears perk up at the mention of a specific city or person? It could be a connection to their past life! My friend’s cat goes nuts whenever anyone mentions Paris – it turns out, the cat’s previous owner was French!
14. They Have An Uncanny Sense of Time
Cats are creatures of habit, but does yours know exactly when it’s time for dinner, even if you’re running late? A cat with a precise internal clock might hold onto their human punctuality!
15. Your Cat Comforts You When You’re Sad
Many pets are intuitive, but does your cat bring you specific items when you’re feeling down? If Fluffy drops your favorite stuffed animal in your lap when you’re crying, it might be a learned behavior from their human past!
16. They Have Strong Reactions to Certain Smells
Cats have sensitive noses, but does yours go crazy for non-cat-related scents? If your kitty can’t get enough of your perfume or tries to stick their whole face in your coffee mug, they might be reliving olfactory memories!
17. Your Cat Tries to Use Your Smartphone or Computer
This one still gives me chills!
If you’ve caught your cat pawing at your phone screen or deliberately walking across your keyboard, they might be attempting to reconnect with technology from their human life. My neighbor swears her cat once typed out “hello” on her laptop!
18. They Have Unusual Fears or Phobias
While many cats are skittish, does yours have specific, unusual fears? A cat that freaks out at the sound of police sirens or hides when a certain commercial comes on TV might be reacting to triggers from their past life.
19. Your Cat Seems to Understand Complex Conversations
We all talk to our pets, but does your cat react in ways that suggest they’re following along?
If your feline friend gives you judgmental looks when you gossip or meows in agreement during serious discussions, you might be dealing with a very old soul!
20. They Have a Favorite “Person” Food That’s Oddly Specific
It’s one thing for a cat to beg for chicken, but what about one that goes crazy for pickles or can’t resist licking your ice cream bowl? These oddly specific cravings could be leftover from their human life!
21. Your Cat Tries to Celebrate Holidays
Last but not least, does your kitty seem extra excited around certain holidays? If your cat tries to unwrap presents at Christmas or meows along to “Happy Birthday,” they might be trying to join in traditions they remember from their human days!
Does Your Cat Do Any of These?
So, fellow feline fanatics, have you noticed any of these signs in your own furry friends? While we may never know for sure if our cats are reincarnated humans, it’s fun to imagine the rich inner lives they might be hiding behind those whiskers.
Next time your cat gives you that all-knowing stare, just remember – they might know more than they’re letting on!
