The Suspicious Cat
Okay, I'm probably way off here, but since this is one of my #1 favorite movies, I have to see if anyone else has the same thought.
I understand the cat at the beginning, the one that attacks Florence, the dead one in the shower. It's the one at the very end that I keep thinking about. We hear some spirit say "Belasco" then, Ben and Ann start out the gate outside. I swear it looks like Ben stops for a couple of seconds, looks at the cat sitting there, then looks at Ann, and they proceed through it. I think Belasco's spirit somehow just moved into the cat, especially since he "leaves" the house, right? And that Ben has the same idea....????
