I've only experienced a spirit cat once. While lying in bed, something exactly like a cat jumped up from the ground next to my feet. The bed covers bounced a little and it was the exact same sensation as a physical cat. I'd had other experiences before of a shadow being who followed / chased me around and once jumped on me while I was drifting off to sleep. I swear my whole body jumped 6 inches in the air!
I can't entirely rule out hypnogogic imagery, which I was playing with at the time as an entrance to lucid dreaming. However, the cat was entirely unexpected and made no sense.
The only other really weird realistic effects I've had like this were when I was talking Ambien for about 6 months to help me sleep. Although I don't think they ever admitted it, there were a lot of complaints about its sleepwalking and hallucinogenic effects. Weird stuff. I suppose you're not taking anything like that at the moment?
