The Chronicle of a Dead Cat

 It all started when I was on my way to the hospital for my antenatal, My husband and I decided to take a public bus, and we walked down to the park where the public vehicles are parked, it was not yet full and the driver won't move until passengers are complete in the bus, so my husband and I after paying for our seat decided to hang around in the park till the passengers are complete, we stood at a small store checking to see if there is anything eatable we can buy. While my attention was on the food, I was buying an old appeared from nowhere and place her hand on me, I took her hand off me immediately because I didn't like the energy revolving around her, I could sense that there was something wrong with that woman and besides I don't like being touch unexpectedly by strangers. I told my husband I was touched by an old woman, and he was surprised because there is no old woman around, I looked around and saw no one, I ran towards the road if I might find her, but she was out of sight... After a stressful day, I slept very early, and anytime I sleep on time I always wake up at a particular time between 2 am to 4 am, that night when I woke up the first thing I saw was a cat working around my window, the moment our eyes met, I could see that fear in his eyes, I keep staring at the cat hoping it just my hallucination and it will fade away once my eyes are clear but the cat didn't move an inch after seeing me, in fear I turned back to pick my phone, turned on the light, when I point towards the direction the cat was, it was no longer there.

I checked the time it was exactly 3 am, I was so scared that left the side I was sleeping on and move to the other side of the bed, that night I could no longer sleep again, fear could not let me let go of my husband, because of how I was holding him and breathing heavily, he woke up and asked me what was wrong, I told him everything and he said it just my hallucination that I should sleep nothing is coming to harm me...

The following night, I was so uncomfortable while sleeping, I was conscious while sleeping, that is I know what was happening around me despite being deeply asleep, during my sleep, I could sense that same energy I felt while being touched by the old woman, something in me keep telling me to wake up but I was so scared to open my eyes, it continues for over some time and I was already sweating very much even when the ac is on, I decided to open my eyes and saw the saw old woman in the park standing behind my fridge, all these while I've been sleeping she has been staring at me, that's why I was so uncomfortable, I screamed in shock which wake my husband up, he asked concernedly what's wrong and I told him there is an old woman in the room, he turns on the light and saw no one, I looked around as well and saw no one. my husband told me again that it was just my hallucination, and it was what most women go through during pregnancy, but I was not convinced, despite that there was no old woman again in the room I was still scared after my husband turn the light off, seeing how frightened I was he held me tight and put me back to sleep... When my husband wanted to leave for work in the morning, I was so scared of being alone in the house, so I left the house to my neighbors and narrated the entire story to her. She said what I'm going through is spiritual and that it is the old woman who changed into a cat, she told me that the enemy is after my unborn child and that I should run to the church for serious prayer. When my husband came back from work, I told him about what our neighbor said, and he cursed her for being stupid and warned me never to talk with her again, I was confused, what I saw was real but my husband does not believe in all these spiritual stuff, I thought of how I would make him understand, the left home angrily that evening and came back with my biggest fear. 'A cat'...

I have never been a fan of cats, I have hated cats since I was born, my husband bought a cat on the roadside and gave it to me, he told me to stop being childish and ignorant and overcome my fear, I looked at him with rage as we have talked about never bringing a pet into our home, he calms me down and told me that there is no such thing as a human being transforming into a cat, that I should stop believing in bullshit, he further said as an educated woman like me how can I let stuff like that get to me. I accepted what he said and let the cat stay but I never knew that would be the beginning of all my problems, after a week of letting a cat stay with us, I had a miscarriage, I cried and blamed it on the cat for placing an evil eye on my child but my husband said it stress, after my husband left for work, I ran to my neighbor and gave the full gist, and followed me to my house and kill the cat saying it an evil cat. When my husband came back from work and saw the handwork of our neighbor, he had a serious issue with her and warn her husband to sustain his wife. I felt bad for everything, since that day my neighbor and I never talk. After three months, I got pregnant, it was two weeks on, the night when I confirmed that I was pregnant again, I saw the same cat that was killed by my neighbor on my stomach, I screamed and woke my husband up, and the next morning I got a miscarriage, that's how it continues for over three years, anytime I got pregnant, I will see the same cat on my stomach which will lead to a miscarriage, I have had sixteen miscarriage during early pregnancy, I cried and told my husband that we much see a man of God which he agreed on. Surely we did see a man of God and he told us exactly what my neighbor said, that it the old woman I saw in the park that always transform into a cat to eat my unborn children and how she got into our house is through the mark she placed on me when she touches me at the park, that she does this to every pregnant woman and that is the source of her power, he conducts a prayer on my husband and I and gave us an anointing water to sprinkle in our house for seven days and we should conduct fasting and prayer for that seven days, we followed his instructions and indeed I was pregnant again, this time it was a set of twins, I stop having nightmares of a cat on my stomach and deliver my twin safely. Today they would be eight years old, I give all glory to God Almighty for keeping my family and me safe.
