Something Scaring Our Cats

[ColeWayne]

I'm 99% sure this isn't supernatural, but it does freak me out.

We have four cats, and once in a while they'll scream and scuffle super startled when they're at the back door. Something outside is definitely scaring them. I find them with their tails puffed and tucked under them all staring at the door but I never see anything. My mom thinks it's a neighborhood cat, but I don't think they'd be so scared. Anybody else have this happen?

cole that sounds strange

do u live in an area where there are foxes or alike

maybe the cats can smell a predator

thats my best guess . good luck finding out whats going on

My cat did that. I live in a house built in 1907. I know its haunted. My neighbors house was owned and built by the same family. My cat looked out my back door straight into a window and her tail fluffed and she backed up slowly, turned and ran. I didnt see anything and no one lives in the neighbor house.

There may be coyotes or something. My mom said she's seen them react this way to a cat that comes through every day so that's our best guess. I just find it strange they get so scared.
