Today, I saw a pair of eyes looking at me from my closet. Realizing it must be my cat, I called her. She immediately came out from under my bed. I can't find anything in my closet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my cat tried to escape when I opened my front door. I noticed that whenever I start babbling and making random sounds, he stops dead and just stares at me in confusion, before walking back in. With my luck, however, this time my neighbor heard everything. They walked quickly away, as if they'd seen a ghost. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I noticed the balcony door was open. As I went to go close it, I swear I saw my cat wondering outside and I panicked. Long story short, I locked myself out searching for the cat and the next thing I knew, he was meowing at me from the balcony a few feet above me. FML
Today, I opened my closet to get my uniform to get ready for work, and found the cat my step-mom was looking for the night before. Apparently, it snuck in there and was too stupid to miaow to be let out, but had no problem pissing all over all my stuff. FML
Today, as I returned from work, a cat was meowing at me in a bush. I said hi to it and walked inside. Then I noticed one of my cats was nowhere to be found. After a bit of panicking, I finally figured out that cat in the bush was MY cat, and he was meowing because he was stuck. I don't know how he got outside. FML
Today, I was taking some clean bedsheets down from the top of the wardrobe. As I pulled the top sheet down, a cat jumped onto my face, claws and all, before falling to the floor and running away. Thing is, I don't own a cat and I have no idea where in the house it has hidden now. FML
Today, I closed my bedroom door before I went to work this morning so my cat wouldn't chew on the cords in there. When I got back, I couldn't find my other cat anywhere. I went to my bedroom and heard her yelling. She was in there, stuck there all morning and afternoon. Oops. FML
Today, I took a late-night shower. When I got out afterwards, the bathroom door was ajar, and I could have sworn I heard the faint patter of footsteps in the kitchen. "It's probably the cat," I told myself. Then I went upstairs and saw my cat asleep on my bed. FML
Today, while spring cleaning, my cat came into the kitchen with a live mouse in her mouth. She looked me dead in the eyes and dropped the mouse, which then ran into my bedroom. It's been 4 hours and I still can't find it. Where's the cat? Chilling like nothing happened. FML
Today, my neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I'd seen her cat. I helped her search the hallway, basement, and garden for 30 minutes. We finally found it sitting inside my apartment, where I had apparently been living with it for three days without noticing. FML
Today, I went searching for my cat who'd escaped. Of course, I searched the entire building and somehow she'd got back in through my front door of my apartment. FML

As the others have said: burn down the house. Burn it now.

reflections maybe? Do you have any clothing with blings or any other reflective surfaces?

stop using logic and science to debunk this cool and freaky phenomenon!

It's because people try to find logical explanations that they get killed in horror movies. Get out while you still can, OP!

Except it will probably attach to the OP. .

Wow, take that little consolation of deserting the place away too!

I wouldn't even be brave enough to go look in the closet in the first place

Plot twist: The cat that came out under your bed wasn't your cat.

Plot twist: OP was in the closet the whole time

Plot Twist: OP is in a parallel universe where beds are closets and closets are beds. OP was in the bed, but in a parallel universe, was in the closet. So, actually, OP was staring at theirself the whole time.

Plot twist: In the future OP has a Time Turner and decides to **** with their past self, hence the FML. Didn't they read the instruction manual? Dangerous things happen to wizards who mettle with time! You must not be seen!

It was most likely something in your closet that the shadows made it look like eyes. Probably something shiny or clothes folded in a certain way. Don't worry, I have a couple of sequin tops that reflect light and freak me out sometimes, but its nothing to really worry about.

It's just in your mind OP. I've had this happen to me before and I later realized the eyes/face I saw in the dark closet was a pair of shirts and jackets in the hanger. Our mind sometimes "see" things that, in reality, mean something else. :)

Clearly it's Randall from Monster's Inc. he pretended to be clothes hanging there too.
