Examples of Waiting Cat Horror Short Stories

I am Nindi, a student at a famous university. During KKN, I had a mystical experience with my friends.

I was assigned to live in a village in East Java with my group, namely Siti, Dony, Marwa, Santi, and Rudi. At first I was not close with them because we are in different majors. However, for two months of KKN and living in one house, we were finally close.

We stayed at the village health center because at that time the village hall was under repair. There was also no lodging there so the village head put us in the health center in the form of a house.

The place was rarely inhabited and only active in the morning when there were guards there. There are two empty rooms that we can live in. One room is occupied by men, Dony and Rudi, while the other room is the bedroom for the four of us, Marwa, Santi, Siti, and I.

At the beginning of the stay, there were no mystical events whatsoever. Until a few days later we felt awkward after walking through the village to ask for population data.

"You don't realize that every house we pass has a lot of cats. All houses keep cats, right?," Santi said.

There is no suspicion whatsoever about it, we consider this village a cat village because many people like it. Even the village head himself keeps 8 cats. The cat is not in a cage and is allowed to roam free.

Not infrequently, the neighbor's cat often visits our residence even at midnight. We often give him food. One night, it rained heavily in the village.

We decided to just do the report inside the puskesmas house.

"Oh, pity there's a cat outside," said Rudi.

"That's the cat that used to come here, yes, just told me to come in," I replied.

"Ugh don't.. I don't like cats. The fur will stick to the floor, it's hard to get rid of. Just leave it outside," said Siti, who really doesn't like cats.

Because we don't want to be complicated, so we decided to let it be. The next day, the unexpected happened. We saw the cat die in front of our house.

"Oh God, this is the cat from yesterday, guys. You guys don't allow him to come in, so the cat dies," said Rudi jokingly.

We ended up burying him together. Strangely, why this cat was not with its owner and had to die in front of our house.

Since then, horror events keep coming. The lights often turn off when the switch is on. When the lights went out, we screamed in terror.

The last day of KKN was a scary time. I, who is a secretary, have to make a report to be presented tomorrow. So while the others were sleeping I was still fiddling with my laptop in the living room. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly I saw a black cat in front of the terrace. He meowed and looked at me. Out of fear I immediately went inside.

As I walked into the room, I heard someone showering in the bathroom.

"Who's showering? Please accompany me after doing the report?" I said while knocking on the bathroom door. However, there is no answer. silence.

I got goosebumps and the sound of the bathing person stopped. I quickly went into the room and saw my friends were still fast asleep.

"Guys, let's have a concert," said Anton.

"Ha concert? What do you mean?" Zen said cluelessly.

"Yeah, we set a song in class, then we sing. As long as there are speakers here," he replied.

Hearing a statement from Anton made my friends and I agree because we were tired too.

Finally, Anton put the speakers on high volume. Our class is at the very back, while the teachers have gone home. So, we were free to have fun concerts at that time.

Some of the boys acted silly by imitating the singer's style in the song. He also showed his face and expression in front of the class. I who saw it was very amused and we laughed together.

While we were having fun singing, suddenly there was a buzzing sound on the speaker. The sound is absolutely deafening as is the mic close to the speaker. Even though we don't have a mic, the buzz appears.

"NGIIIIIIKKKKKK,"

"Oh my ears, the speaker is broken," said Nayla, covering her ears. Some of the other children also covered their ears.

Anton then approached the speaker to check it. However, the settings are correct and there are no errors whatsoever.

"Hey guys, it's already 10 o'clock. Let's just go home," I said reminding my friends.

However, because we were outnumbered and more people agreed, we ended up continuing our concert.

"What the hell is this fun when we're together again. It's fun to know singing in class like this, after all, it's not class time, right?” said Mawar.

"That's right.. it's fun to get together like this. Then we will not meet again. So make as many memories as possible," Rio replied.

I am with the approval of other friends. Finally, I just gave up. After continuing the rah-rah in class. Suddenly the classroom door swung wide open. The wind came into the classroom and hit our faces.

"BRAKKK ..," said the door.

We all turned to the open door. The atmosphere turned gloomy. Anton approached the door intending to close it.

However, when he walked to the door he fell silent.

"What's wrong ton?," I shouted.

He just stood there staring blankly ahead. We were also curious about Anton's strange behavior.

"Yep.. want to pretend to scare us huh?, won't work, "said Nayla.

Anton remained motionless. There was a child who finally grabbed Anton's shoulder to ask what happened.

"Ton, are you okay?" Salman said while holding his shoulder.

Anton slowly turned to Salman. It became very strange. With a glaring gaze at him, he smiled a smile full of dark aura.

We were surprised and started calling his name over and over again. Salman who saw his face then ran behind.

Anton suddenly walked to the front of the class and picked up the speaker. He threw the speaker until it shattered. We just screamed in fear.
