Once a stray cat did same thing to me when I was sleeping outside. It sneaked in me and poked me in my hand. It was dark and I got awake and was afraid to open my eyes thinking that it might be a ghost.
I have a cat that would stalk a fawn before jumping out and scarring the little thing, causing it to jump around while it’s parents looked on and were like, \”dude, it’s just a cat\”.
