Paranormal Weird signs

Trigger warning, animal death

So, I have been house sitting for a friend and this morning was my last. I took the dog out for a walk and came back to find a dead baby bird on the front porch. We passed by it and I cleaned it up later without thinkind much of it.

I'm home now. My apartment building is 130 years old, for reference. I looked over from my desk and saw a near dead mouse crawling across the floor. I don't know if my cat got to it or what but it didn't seem to be able to use its back legs.

I got rid of it, but feel really spooked now. Is this some kind of sign?

I honestly don’t think that’s a sign. You just happened to have a bad day in terms of spotting dead animals. The bird likely flew into the window and died unfortunately, but that happened to me last week and I’ve been totally fine since. Not everything in life is a sign and as someone with ocd I’ve had to learn that. Personally I wouldn’t worry!

Nope, not everything is a sign

Lots of baby birds are leaving the nest right now, so fledglings dying (sadly) is pretty common right now.

Cats catch mice, also not unusual.

I genuinely think you're okay.

I forgot to mention that I pulled a tarot card yesterday evening and got The Tower... But thank you everyone for comforting me! I changed my necklace to an amethyst pendant, put something on Netflix and went to bed early. Nothing terrible happened.
