what cats see

they say cats can see things we cannot
can see beyond our vision of reality
and into a world beyond our own
what do they see when they
quickly look up, alert, ready for action
and we see nothing, nothing at all?
is it the ghosts of our
past, present and future
coming to check up on us?
or is it aliens from beyond our universe
invisible to our eyes but seen by cats
coming to observe how we live?
or is it something else, something we don’t
know about yet and maybe never will?
i believe cats see more than we do
understand more than we know
and take care of us in ways
we don’t know about
who knows what cats can see?
we can only speculate
and use our imagination to wonder why
they look and stare
when we see nothing
