kitty ghost

A few weeks or months ago, not sure, a cabinet door in the kitchen began opening on its own at random intervals. It will happen while we're standing in the kitchen and nothing is happening, or when we walk into the apartment, or when we are about to depart.

I asked when it first started happening if perhaps the apartment was haunted.

But Josh says apartments can't be haunted. Anyone who was living in an apartment when they died can't be scary enough to haunt anything. It also wouldn't make sense that it would become haunted several months after we moved in, rather than being so the entire time.

But then I was thinking, that a lot has been coming up that makes me feel like Lunar is maybe a ghost. (I don't actually believe in ghosts or an afterlife. But I also understand that this is a feeling humans get, and that it still means something, even if it isn't what we think it means. We have different psychological ways of dealing with death and loss, and I'm not here to deny that those coping mechanisms exist, or that they're not helpful - I can acknowledge and experience this phenomena while still being skeptical, I think.) He's in my dreams all the time, and there are other little whispers. And he really loved the kitchen cabinets. He wasn't allowed to be in there but he would sneak in at any opportunity, any time I had one open to get anything in or out.

So now we say hello to Lunar whenever the cabinet door randomly swings open. It's pretty cute. I like it.
