Growling at nothing?

My NI, Nuka, is really starting to creep me out.. shes in the living room, sat there growling and barking at the fireplace..
last night she was in here, growling at the ceiling
so anyone know what it could be? i don't believe in ghosts, but its making me quite paranoid.. and shes obviously upset.

Re: Growling at nothing?

Not being funny but you may just have mice? Nell went through a stage at growling at certain areas in our old livingroom in the country, it started freaking me out because she was looking as if she was seeing something, but a week or two later she brought us a present it wasnt a mouse but the biggest rat I have ever seen, still haunts me to this day

Re: Growling at nothing?

Encourage the little chap to go find what he is growling at, he must be growling at something. Keep us informed as to your findings

Dana used to be the same, but then I realised she was barking at both the shadows on the wall and also flys in the summer

Re: Growling at nothing?

i know we have mice, i can hear them in the walls.. scurrying around
she wasn't bothered by them last winter, and shes not made a fuss during the day when its been moving around..
she does like to catch mice, but she doesn't growl at them.. and we have gerbils so, im pretty sure she used to rodents in the house anyway

tryed getting her to find it.. she sniffed around.. then had a mad episode and ran around a lot

shadows don't bother her.. and she will snap at flys, but never growl or bark at them.. or back off whineing

my guess is maybe the wind is makeing an odd sound in the chimney, maybe sounding a bit like growling or something..
would be useful if she could just tell me really

Re: Growling at nothing?

Holly does this as well. She does it quite often.

Out of the blue she will just stare into thin air and stare whineing or growling. Then back of and hide as if she has seen something she doesn't like.

I don't think we have mice as we live in a new apartment.
I know that she is wary of shadows so could be that!!

Let us know if she keeps doing it Dogs and animals are supposed to have heightened awareness of ghosts/spirits - but I wouldn't worry too much about it. I'mn sure there is another explaination

Re: Growling at nothing?

my dog cuddles does this too. His barks at his reflection in the window and the washing on the line and at newspaper too or if the wind closes a door and barks at the wind.

It does make you laugh out loud when he barks at nothing
