I have always considered myself to be level headed. I don't believe in ghosts, flying saucers, or LRLs. That being said..Monty is not the only one now with a creepy cat story......
Thursday, I took my family up to St. Augustine Florida to visit the in-laws. All was fine and normal up until Saturday when after watching my beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers get romped mercilessly by the New England Patriots, there was a knock at the door. The fact that there was a knock at the door wouldn't seem to be a strange thing except that my father-in-law lives way out in the sticks and there aren't neighbors to speak of. When we opened the door, there was no one there except for a cat.
The cat strolled in the house like it owned the place and made itself at home by the roaring fire. It was uninterested in food or warm milk it was offered..it just lay like a sphinx staring into the fire..
After what seemed to be about an hour the fire still roared in the massive fireplace and the cat hadn't moved..All of a sudden, the cat rose and strolled casually into the fireplace, walked calmly up the burning logs and dissapeared into the raging fire!
After a stunned moment we jumped up and attempted to rescue the cat from the flames eventually dousing the fire...but no cat! No cat body! NOTHING!!! Just half-burned and now soggy logs!
The cat vanished into the fire without a sound and without a trace!
Afterward, we sat around stunned...none of us could find words..eventually we went to bed but none of us slept....
This morning, my father-in-law simply said he would not use the fireplace again and left it at that..it was a long ride home and we didn't talk about what we had seen...
any thoughts?

Reminds me of my cat, When we first found it it kept disapearing from the house and we would find it outside when no doors or windows or anything were left open...also I used to close the door to my room and lay down in bed then five minutes later the cat would jump up on my bed and stare at me but the door was still closed....never could figure out what happened there lol. Cats are creepy...once mine was missing for a day and later that night i was eating some icecream on the floor in front of the fire and all of a sudden i hear a licking noise and the things eating my ice cream 
Hmmm? Well if it did happen, then I guess somebody's trying to tell another somebody something.You just have to figure out what it is. ![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
