What are they staring at? A bird? A dog? An Amazon delivery driver? My recollection is that I looked out the window and, as usual, saw nothing. But then, I don't have five-dimensional cat eyes, do I?

Murder Vision™ from Wham-O !
I have always imagined that this was how my cats would begin the …… “process” …. whenever a mouse would enter the house while I was at work. The cats dreaming of which limbs they would tear off first. Then I’d come home to a hell of a mess and have to put the mouse —still barely alive!! — in a plastic bag. Take the plastic bag out to the street and finish off the poor thing with the flat side of a shovel. ( which I guess actually makes me the murderer). Then go back into the house where the cats are doing their Dr. Evil laughs.
Luckily (?), my back yard is now messy enough that there’s no need for the mice to risk coming into my 120-some-year-old brick house with a foundation like a sieve to seek shelter. … well, that and the ancient oracle mouse standing on a paint can , pointing to the house and screaming, “Heed me! That way lies Death!” ….. I try not to take that personally.
Very funny. But we all know the Oracle is at NIMH.
Cats can see and hear things far behind anything our mere human senses can begin to detect, much less comprehend.
It's a new species of invisible bird.
Life. Cats are watching life. Also maybe waiting for the Easter Bunny.
Whatever it is, it's got them both very concerned. ... At least, that's what they WANT you to think.
One of my long-deceased cats seemed to enjoy staring at a spot that was feet above and directly over my head, with a look of terrified concern. I think he was just messing with me.
Siamese or part-Siamese? Mine was, & also vocalized.
Heinz 57. Black, with 23 toes! Some people were giving a kitten away, and that's how we got together.
My part-Siamese was also black; he seemed to see things on the ceiling, only at night.
23 toes sounds like a record!
"Let's fuck with Kevin!"
...The feline version of, "Made you look!"
They want you to turn on Animal Planet.
This is cat language for 'watching Animal Planet'.
The eyes are trying to spot the source of the faint (-10 db) 80 KHz squeak that their ears have zeroed in on.
