It is mighty creepy when the dog suddenly howls and bares her teeth, hackles raised in an attack stance staring and snarling at nothing you can see behind the closed balcony door because it's dark out and the house is brightly lit.
You try and calm her but she's angry and her canines are like fangs jutting out readying to tear at something you can't even bloody see in the darkness, behind the thick glass.
So you turn to the cat to notice if the darling feline has observed anything and he in turn has his claws out, body contorted into an alarmed hump, fur standing on end in cahoots with the dog, staring at the same invisible nothing and that's when there are teeny goosebumps sitting on your arms and you try to logically assuage the chills by telling yourself that perhaps there is a mouse or some similar creature because by now the animals have both trotted towards the edge of the kitchen, ready to bound into a leap across the tiles to reach the balcony door, the only thing keeping them is your training to never enter the kitchen and together they caterwaul to such menacing proportions, hissing and barking that you decide to take matters into your own goose-bumped hands and walk towards the balcony, slowly flicking the light switch, expecting an alien apparition hanging upside down, except there is nothing and you don't seem to understand exactly what is it that the animals are so distressed about because now they both flank me and angrily meow and bark at nothing.
What do I do?
