Synopsis: Allison (Patricia Arquette) wakes up as her teenaged self (Jessy Schram) and finds the past and future are interconnecting as grown Allison tracks down a serial killer who may have ties to the new neighbor boy, Stephen (Kyle Gallner), who just moved in next door to young Allison.
Kitty Cameo: Young Allison owns a longhair white cat named Pablo who has a tendency to run away.
Pablo is sleeping with Allison when she has one of her bad dreams about the future.
The cat has gone missing again when Allison is awakened in the middle of the night by someone outside her window. It is Stephen, bringing Pablo back to her. Stephen tries to kiss her but she rebuffs him. Sensing strange vibes from the boy, she later refuses to go out with him.
Kitty Carnage Warning! Some nights later Allison wakes up to the sound of repeated Poor Cat Screeches outside her window. When she goes to investigate she finds Pablo’s mutilated body on the lawn.
Final Mewsings: A boy you suspect of killing your cat is well avoided!
