In use: 

I thought I was alone, but Stormy orchestrated a snap-roll and sat up in her bed on the piano bench. Whiskers forward, ears pricked up, and eyes wide open, her catsight was tracking something. She was looking toward the window. I looked that way and listened. Nothing but the pink moon flooding the nocturnal landscape was evident to me. I asked Stormy, “What is it? You hear a raccoon?”

That last was spoken as a prayer to seduce my runaway fears.  Stormy’s jade eyes tracked something move toward me. If it was a spirit, as suspected, I hoped it was a friendly one. Spirits were normally friendly during a pink moon. Friendly or malicious, it would probably be a long night. I was pleased with Stormy’s catsight. Without it, I’d be caught wholly unaware. At least now I was a little prepared.
