It’s late. You shouldn’t be up like this, you know.
It’s not healthy, surrounding yourself in utter darkness, with nothing but a dull monitor to illuminate your surroundings, utterly defenseless. Your internal conscious could already be laughing at me. You could be thinking to yourself that you are entirely aware of where this is going. Well, it’s your funeral.
I’m here to warn you. In precisely four minutes and thirteen seconds, something will catch the corner of your eye. You’ll turn your head sharply, attempting to focus your vision. Your cat will slink past, wryly waving its tail. Your relief will overcome you, as you gently welcome your feline companion into your lap. In exhaustion, the poor animal will collapse, a purr of contentment filling the air.
As you continue perusing the internet, you will notice something strange about your pet. You look down, to notice a note has been tucked into its collar. It’s blank. You question this, but return to the internet. Your cat shivers, stretches, and jumps from your lap, scurrying off. The note, which you’ve conveniently placed next to your computer, begins to bleed with dark ink. You open the crumpled paper, holding it to the light of the monitor. It’s then that an illustration of an eye will appear.
It’s then you realize that you don’t own a cat.
Now, this is retribution. If you have any hope of saving yourself, find a scrap of paper. Draw the eye.
Turn off your monitor. Surround yourself by darkness. Don’t you dare close your eyes. Blink, and this will all be for naught. You will be dead before you even felt your eyes close.
Kneel. Fold the illustration, and place it within arms reach of you. By now, you should feel it on you. The eye will be watching. It will choke your breath. You must try. Utter the following: “I can see you.”
Drop the illustration, and return to your computer.
I’m sorry to say, the watchful eye will never cease. You will always feel it. It’s watching you now.
Nice shirt.

Thanks fo complimenting me on my Blink-182 shirt :)
Nice lol
Lmao nice shirt XD thanks tho
Shirt? SHIRT?!
Fuck you, I’m wearing a Scooby Doo, Booby Two bra.
Then who was shirt!
plot twist: I’m not wearing a shirt!
1. I actually do have a cat 2. I’m not wearing a shirt…
Lucky me, my light’s on, I own a cat, and I don’t wear shirts at home…. Not to mention the fact that the creepy pastas that do exist are not cruel to me, so if one is…. I’m pretty damn sure I’m not alone. Ever.
9/10, it was a great pasta but you didn’t account for those who did own a cat. You also forgot one major detail, I’m not wearing a shirt.
If you want it you can have it, I hate this shirt. Although, I’m not sure that giant eyes can wear shirts…
4:13. 413. Any Homestuck fans here? Any at all? I’m sorry, this was the thing that stood out to me.
Other than the cat thing.
Thanks, I like this shirt too, I got it yest- wwwaaaaiiiitttt a second! This is a tanktop, silly Eye :3
But, I’m naked, what shirt?
I choked on this pasta.
Not wearing a shirt what you gonna do about it Mr.eye
Watching you ….
Nice shirt.
WHO WAS THE CAT?
Dang it, i didnt see that someone beat me to that comment -.-
But I’m not wearing a shirt……….
But I’m not wearing a shirt…. :\
Thanks. But no comment on my “FUCK YOU” hat?
Would have been slightly creepy…only it’s noon and I’m in the middle of a crowded room at school. Nice try, but there have to be very specific circumstances for this to work at all.
HAHA JOKES ON YOU IM NOT WEARING A SHIRT
Damn Sauron, always after us Baggins…
I wish stories would stop trying to tell me it’s late. Bitch it’s 6:30 in the evening. Also I’m in a dressing gown not a shirt. Sunday ftw!
I’m not wearing a shirt, GG.
thank you for once again reminding me i don’t have a cat.
fuck you.
i want a cat.
I read this at 10:43 AM and 14 seconds with my cat downstairs.After I read it I still stopped and waited for a cat to walk in at 10:47 and 27 seconds.
The beginning line got me…
Well… this is awkward. I’m not wearing a shirt.
Thank you. Sleeping With Sirens is an amazing band!
Jokes on you. I’m shirtless.
Haha, what a coincidience too much shirtless people and buttnaked people were reading this.
Thats a very nice shirt you have there… Be a shame if something were to happen to it…
Jokes on you! I’m naked ;)
im not wearing a shirt though
It’s late? LATE!? It’s 1:33PM.
I actually found this one kind of funny. The last line was hilarious, and thank you, it’s my favorite shirt! ;D
BUT WHO WAS CAT
I have 2 cats. And it’s 5 pm. That’s not late. Couldn’t take this seriously.
Heh…well I do own a cat…two actually. Also…I’M NOT WEARING A SHIRT!
Good pasta
“It’s then you realize you don’t own a cat.”
HAHAHAHA XD
Sorry but I couldn’t take that story seriously after that haha :)
Hehehehehehehehehehe.
I liked it at first. Until, you know,
“BUT YOU REALIZE THAT YOU DON’T OWN A CAT LOLROFLCOPTOR”
The story felt like it was thrown together without second thought, as if you were like “Derp! Lets throw in an animal and short to make this KOOL! HERP!”
Half-cooked pasta. 3/10
My pets are a kitty and a puppy from nintendogs, does that count?
Um…how nice of you to call my boobies my shirt…
Nice try
But I’m not wearing one ;D
I actually laughed pretty hard at this. Especially the “but you dont own a cat” and “nice shirt” bit.
Im begginning to think the author meant this as a joke. I kinda like it.
nice, now it can watch me play halo.
Derp my cats are outside and I\’m not wearing a shirt derp.
Wow, you got me. I am in a dark room, and my cat just meowed. Well played, good sir.
this would be cool if it was night time but its day sooooo
lol at first i was like “ha! dont own a cat! im safe!” then after reading on i moved to “oh fuck…” but then i was happy again cause i dont have a shirt on, success
I\’m reading this at 3:54 pm, so fuck you, writer.
I’d be more scared if it was late at night, and not 11 o’clock in the morning.
LOL! I’m not wearing any clothes. I’m always naked! I’m a nude model afterall! And I don’t own a cat yet, just a cute little bunny.
I waited 4 minutes and 13 seconds, but a meteor hit me instead.
Aww.
I DUZ SO HAVE A CAT!!! Also, it is really hot out, I am not wearing a shirt, take that mister eye man thing, you are so obviously blind.
I DUZ SO HAVE A CAT!!! Also, it is really hot out, I am not wearing a shirt, take that mister eye man thing, you are so obviously blind.

HA! im not wearing a shirt
What I find creepier than the pasta is how many people are reading this topless… O_o
but what if you DO own a cat, he just isn’t wearing a collar? or if he’s already in your lap? or if the tv is also on?
sorry, it’s just a bit too specific to work on me.
other than that, it’s really good.
no shirt 4 me…
I’m wearing a sweatshirt, asshole.
I also lol’d at the “you then realize you don’t have a cat.” xD
Allright, the eye likes my iron maiden shirt.
Rock on evil eye, rock on. (Wait.. one does not simply rock into Mordor!).
Its then you realise (…you don’t own a shirt…)
BUT WHO WAS NOTE?
Would have been better if I didn’t have three cats living in my house. Other than that, not bad, although the ending was predictable.
Fear the Darkness
-Nex
But, I’m not wearing a shirt :o
You have the wrong person!!!!
im not wearing a shirt…………..
It’s 1:15 in the afternoon… and I DO own a cat.
But that was creepy. Brix were shat.
>Implying i wear shirts
Thanks, it’s a pretty nice one.
I knew it was a good buy. Now go away, you’ll be very bored as I spend the rest of my life reading creepypasta. I even think it would be boring to watch.
Unless you are into that sort of thing, but really, why would a creepypasta itself want to read creepypasta? It’s like if a man who sells burgers eats burgers. Don’t mix work and play, man.
Tee hee, I love the way your eye looks confused.
BUT WHO WAS SHIRT?
Im not wearing a shirt, but thats besides the point…
I do like your hairstyle though, and since were on the topic of eyes, I like how yours would look so good in m y collection…
Dont blink. ;3
BUT WHO WAS EYE?
Hah. I know if I was online late at night I’d probably be tired as hell. Tired enough to not realize I didn’t own a cat. I liked this, epic.
Dear god, how many people are not wearing shirts?
I think the eye needs glasses. I’m not wearing a shirt.
Eh. You say “your cat comes along” and you lose the non-cat owners. Add “you then realise you don’t have a cat”, and you lose the cat owners. This one can’t really win :)
Anyway, way more than 4 minutes 13 seconds have passed and still not cat. Hmph.
FroFro said exactly what i wanted to say.
I could take all the “and your cat crawls into your lap” thing even though I don’t own a cat. But that line just killed it for me.
The last line was good though because it makes it seem like an eye is indeed watching me.
Where is the eye as it’s watching?
Would it happen to be the readers eye…
wtf? Don’t have a cat. Edit this and take that shit out.
And lmao at what yobro commented. xD
omg, I was just about to put this on. how did u c me?!
It was ok, the first lines were creepy. I like this shirt too.
“Blink, and this will all be for naught. You will be dead before you even felt your eyes close.”
But if you die before you even closed your eyes, then technically you never actually closed your eyes, so therefore, if you play by the rules, you shouldn’t have died, Should you?
Oh and I know people who would pet the cat first, and then realize “oh shit, i don’t have a cat.”
And no, that person is not me.
I hate cats.
Greetings,
Smiles
Fail.
Im not wearing a shirt.
If I forget that I don’t own a cat, I deserve whatever happens to me.
I’m sorry, but I’d think I’d react a lot faster to having a cat jump up into my lap when I KNOW I don’t have one…
dfgjkl, everyone gets that the “cat” is really meant to be some weird supernatural message delivery system, it’s just that the idea that a cat would jump on your lap and you would pet it and then afterwards realise that you don’t own one is stupid. It’s an attempt to add a creepy twist which completely disregards actually writing believable reactions for the “you” in the story.
So no, you’re not the only one who “gets” it. You’re the only one who “doesn’t think it’s stupid”.
And that’s terrible.
Funny, I’m allergic to cats and I’m wearing a ratty old band t-shirt. XDDDD
Ooh! Thanks! I bought this shirt with my own money!
Haha, so proud. ^__________^
i own a cat
it’s 3 in the afternoon
i haz no shirt
D:
Anyone who’s naked and masturbating to porn, is safe. Aim for the eye.
The seriousness disappeared when you said “You don’t own a cat.”
Probably try to make it something like some exotic animal many people don’t have or something.
Fuck off, assholes! I got papercuts from all that being on paper and shit so, yeah; it is hard to see the fact that you’re incredibly pale and it just looks like you’re all wearing white shirts. get the fuck outside.
So tired of this bullshit!
im shirtless and it’s broad daylight and i DO own a cat
that eye needs a contact.
though totally creepy if read four hours from now
Im naked you perv.
Oh my god. You people. Urrgh…
That’s part of whatever creepy crap that’s going on here. Magic, supernatural, demons, witches, ghosts, goblins, whatever. That explains the whole “you pet a cat, but wait, you don’t own a cat”.
I think I’m the only person in the universe who gets the whole cat thing… and that’s sad.
lul a bra is considered a shirt?
Well, overall it was good… but i dont get it ? like seriously i can relate to this easly but like thx bout the shirt :) i made it
Hah, one problem though.
I don’t have a shirt on.
lol @ nice shirt
Assuming I forget I don’t own a cat is one thing. Telling me I will forget not owning a cat in exactly one minute from now, even after you told me about it, is another.
I feel forgetfulness setting in already. :P
I’m allergic to cats. So I’d probably know if I owned a cat.
I LOL’D
And I was feeling all good about myself for not owning a cat.
You walk up the stairs to your room.
It is then you realize you do not have any stairs and live in a bungalow.
I DO have a cat.
It’s NOT late
My bedroom lights are on.
My cat can’t get into this room.
My cat doesn’t jump onto people’s laps, it’s extremely hostile.
And thanks, this shirt is designer
:D
the cat part kinda ruined it :))
I have 3 dogs.
And i’m wearing a blouse 0_o
i have two cats and 2 dogs
lights on in room next to me the light is piercing my room
o thanks but this shirt i hat it was given to me by….
well never mind that
It was good, until the end. It was all relevant, but, I’m topless.
1) i have a cat
2) its 4:00 PM here
3) this shirt oh its old
I am topless as Im typing this!
I DO have a cat.
and…
Its 10 in the morning…
lmao.
Good except for the stupid cat thing.
This is funny as all hell when you’re reading it in daylight, you own a cat that doesn’t wear a collar, and you’re not wearing a shirt.
This is freaken scary,… This is one scary story… It gave me the creeps.. Man… i will never get a cat now..
Oh damn. The first paragraph made me laugh in fear.
The second had me believing it was talking about me. I was so scared that I just kept on reading in complete shock.
Luckily I do own a cat. Hopefully nothing happens in the next couple of minutes…
I have three cats. So this was creepy. Then it got to the collar bit. None of them have collars. So it was less creepy. Then it said I don’t own a cat. It got stupid.
Don’t you dare close your eyes… a new fantastic point of view. but when im way up here, its crystal clear that now im in a whole new world… with you….
Don’t you dare close your eyes… a new fantastic point of view. but when im way up here, its crystal clear that now im in a whole new world… with you….
4 things fundamentally wrong here, and reasons why I thought this was shit.
1: I own 3 cats.
2: It’s not dark.
3: I’m on a laptop.
4: I’m not even wearing a shirt.
*Sigh* I got the feeling as if the author wanted me to feel connected because all the things link to what is happening to me in real life, yet it was the complete opposite. Nice try though, bro.
Thank you Eye man! (:
I just got it today! I wore it to my cousins bridal shower. How nice, eh?
Mmmmmm… tastiest pasta ever. Gave the the chills.
Well this creeped me out because I am sitting in the dark at 3:21am, the first paragraph completely applied to me to the point where I thought about stopping reading. Also I own a cat but I am at uni so its not here, yet I am so used to my cat being around it is possible i would out of habit allow a random cat onto my lap. Ok maybe not that last bit.
Would be scary, if it wasn’t 9:22am with the sun shining and the lights on and such.
And if there was a cat in my house I think my dog might just warn me by barking her fucking head off and chasing the damn thing.
My cat is insulted that you would try to pretend he doesn’t exist. >_>
Mrow.
THEN YOU REALISE YOU DON’T OWN A DESK
I don’t know, this one seemed to be kind of filled with “shock” attempts. Not to mention the precise instructions. I’m sorry, but the cat line just completely killed it for me.
But I do have a cat…
First I was pretty thrilled. At the part with the cat I got relieved, because I don’t own one… Amagine the shock when I read the Alzheimer’s-part.
Great Pasta and you can’t see my shirt. I’m buck-naked.
I smiled when it told me that I just realized that I didn’t own a cat.
“It’s then that you realize that you don’t own a cat”
thats my favorite line!
oh!! and i know, i love my shirt too!!
We the Kings are amazing=)
I was about to ask who this Mr.Welldone is anyway.
Is he some kind of creepypasta god-wannabe?
EERRR to make the comment related:
I have no animals and I’d be fucked if I let it on my lap – highly allergic.
Brix shat
Wow, look at all these shitty bricks! Imma wash ’em off and build me a house.
Mr. Welldone, put down the thesaurus, you ain’t impressin’ nobody.
it’s obvious that eye wasn’t looking at my shirt. It was looking at my breasts :) and my dog would totally kill that cat and rip the note to pieces.
PERVY EYES!
This sounds like a chain-mail email to me. Sorry.
Okay….re-read it at night….
BAAW
In the kingdom of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
I’m not wearing a shirt.
…but im naked… lol
I don’t ever wear pants inside my house. I hope the eye likes looking at my hairy ass all the time.
What’s sort of funny, I’m wearing a Tool Shirt that’s covered with about a hundred creepy looking eyes on it.
HA! My pet doesn’t wear a collar c: Not scary. Nanner nanner boo boooo.
Funny story. I was really creeped out by this at first, no lights on, thought I was going to have nightmares. Was shitting proverbial bricks.
Then I reached he end, and I loled because I don’t have a shirt on.
Oh hello candleja
I don’t own cats, and I don’t wear shirts
BUT WHO WAS EYE?!?!!?
It was going pretty good… up until the “Nice shirt.” part. It should have stopped before that because it dims down the creepy factor.
Bitch, joke’s on you! I’m not wearing a shirt!
Gegner- “…what does it even matter if the Eye is constantly staring at you if you manage to keep “whatever is in the darkness” from killing you?”
This might just be me, but I hate the feeling that I’m being watched ALL the time. Even if it’s not going to do anything, if I was in the shower or having an intimate moment, the idea of something watching me would give me the heebie-jeebies. It’s the violation of privacy that gives it a creepy edge. I didn’t think this was a particularly delicious pasta, but it had a good flavor.
who the fuck wrote this story? i only do this score dates
“It’s then you realize that you don’t own a cat.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Holy crap, right down to the specifics.
This got me real good.
P4INKillers last blog post..X-Ray Dog – Zombie Hunter
Aside from the fact that it’s only 7:00pm and I’m sitting in a well-illuminated room, this was quite good.
Loved the last bit. “Nice shirt.”
Haha last two words killed it completely for me.
then you realize you dont own a cat,you turn around,finish filling out the adoption papers,then you do own a cat.
see,first off, i DO own acat,i own eight of them,four are kittens,four are older,they are adorable,im currently debating on weather i wasn long hair or short for supper,LMFAO JK|
lol, might have been creepy if I were wearing a shirt…
lulz its mid day here and i have no pets…at all …so like yea
I could see how it could scared the bloody hell out of some people though
Oh, this old thing?
I got this from the trash, but if you say so.
Here I am at 4:35 PM, my desk lamp and the main room lamp shining bright, and listening to my cat purr.
As I have said, pastas which try to guess what you are doing fail hard if they are wrong.
It would be a bit creepier if you realize that its not actually your cat, or at least that your cat doesn’t have that collar. I have a cat, but one that doesn’t wear a collar, so this… half would apply to me?
There are so many pastas contingent on not blinking. I feel like I should be hiring a trained nurse to follow me around with Visine in case I ever need to wrest terrifying secrets from a shade or outsmart a disembodied eye. Until I realize…that I don’t have a nurse!
I didn’t think it scary at all.
I think it could’ve been done better. And the Alzheimer’s causing cat made me LOL.
More like Corn Flakes than actual pasta, and that last line… you better not be trolling man…
The new looks pretty blog-gy.
I find this not scary .__.
An okay pasta IMO.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
First point, I am another reader that DOES own a cat (and I know what the lil fucker looks like, so I would not get confused), and he doesn’t wear a collar (because he has managed to understand belt loops – don’t ask me how, I don’t know).
Second, as others have said, who would possibly forget that they DON’T own a particular animal? It could have been something that was in an old CD jewel case, or something stuffed under the keyboard or mousepad or something and been much more believeable.
Third, what does it even matter if the Eye is constantly staring at you if you manage to keep “whatever is in the darkness” from killing you? Everyday when you walk down the street or through a store people are looking at you. I mean, I could see how an agoraphobic would freak out about that, but then, they have problems with people staring, let alone a supernatural eye.
Last, the “Nice shirt” line made it fall flat to me. The story teller seems to be someone trying to spare the individual, but then, what, they are supposed to be the Eye now? I thought it was an Eye, not an Eye and some Fingers and a Computer…. It just made the ending seem more like a joke, or some really crappy after-hours horror show.
I could see someone who used to have cats drowsily acknowledging the cat as their own. Even someone without cats. Our minds gladly grasp at whatever excuse is handy, however illogical.
lol I liked this one, it was all old school pasta.
^-^
sucks and i hated it
furthermore, i dont wear shirts, fuckoff
I’m allergic to cats.
so like, what if I sneezed and my eyes closed?
totally wouldn’t be my fault.
BUT THEN WHO WAS CAT I DON’T OWN?
Lol.
It’s amazing how many people welcome me into their laps.
I’m not wearing a shirt either!!!
Hah! I do in fact own 3 cats! None of them wear collars either. Lol.
Other then the cat thing, it was pretty good. The shirt comment made it more creepy somehow.
At least make an effort of having a different breed or color of cat to make it work. Unless the person was high, then maybe he/she would not realize that he/she owns a cat.
I felt this story was thoroughly uninspired.
It’s foundations are in what has now become cliché.
Lame.
Damn. I was about to be all like, “Joke’s on you! I don’t even HAVE a pet anymore! Hahaha!”
Damn.
BUT WHO WAS CAT?
I have 5 cats….
Creepy, I guess, if it weren’t for two things.
1. I DO own a cat.
2. I’m not wearing a shirt.
Why, thank you, Mr. Eye! I like this shirt, too. It’s a bit pedo for you to be complementing me, though…in other words, if you don’t GTFO now, you’re gonna get vanned. Have fun!
im not even wearing a shirt. :P
so there.
Hello.
This is a creation of the utmost pulchritude and jouissance.
I marvel at what has been wrought in this fine work, and what will be wrought as a result of its existence.
Such joy I feel.
Mr. Welldones last blog post..On Curiosity
Lol xD
If a cat jumped up into my lap
and I didn’t own one I’d probably freak out.
Anyways…. nice story
Haha, alright good enough. Last sentence killed this for me, so bad.
I’m sorry but I just couldn’t take this story seriously. Who in the hell forgets that they don’t own a particular animal and then let that said animal into their comfort zone. The eye watching you bit is a good concept, but could’ve been delivered a hell of a lot better than the protagonist letting an animal they forgot they never owmed sit in their lap.
Haha, who the fuck is dumb enough to welcome a cat onto their lap without realizing that they don’t own a cat? If I were to be sitting in the dark reading creepypasta and a random cat showed up in my living room, I would probably kill it.
I’d be just dumb enough to keep the cat and don’t let it leave… maybe it’ll change the effect of the story and I can keep the kitty, sounds like a good deal to me
I think I like this creepypasta
It’s kinda creepy to think about an eye watching you all the time
I’d like to have a cat that brought such madness upon me
WHO WAS CAT?
huh…well this would be scarier if i weren’t reading this at 8:30 pm, with all the lights on and my family sitting on the couch right next to me.
still though, i suppose u really were reading it the way its described, i would be creeped out. I like how it gets really specific with the time (4 minutes and 13 seconds)
shit, dude. it’s exactly 8:30 as i read this.
I have a cat. This creepypasta is madness.
It was alright up until “THEN YOU REALIZE YOU DON’T OWN A CAT OOOOOHHHH NOOOOEES”. What dumbass would not know if they had a cat or not?
Uhm… Is it just my computer, or did the layout of this site totally change?
It’s ok, I guess. I really don’t like it that much, but it’s your call.
I liked it. I think the last line made it a little more creepy.
Oh, and WHO WAS EYE?
Eye has I
…But I DO have a cat. Two of them.
This story is completely amateur.
I’m sitting at school, and I decided to check to see if there was a new story posted.
And what do you know, there was!
I liked it.
And thanks, my boyfriend bought me this shirt, I love it =)
yobro wut if i own a dog insted my rutwillr can probly own cats
that is a dog fool
Fool in Spelling also
Yabra*
The link to normal things killed the suspense =/
Otherwise, nice pasta.
“It’s then you realize that you don’t own a cat.”
It was interesting at first, but once it got to that line I couldn’t take it seriously. I mean really… I’m sorry, but I just can’t relate to a character with Alzheimer’s.
Well now, I’m flattered. I got a couple on sale from Aeropostale. I can lend you my discount card if you want.
