Occam's Razor, anybody?
Look, probably you were the victim of a sick prank. Yes, I know. Quiet neighborhood. Second floor.
Trust me, it's not that far a stretch--the perpetrators of these kind of things tend to target quiet neighborhoods for the maximum shock effect. All they'd have to do is go grab a cat off of the road that'd been dead a while, scoop it into a bag, and throw it up next to the window, or climb up and place it there.
Quite simply, voodoo & hexes are nonsense--there has NEVER been a SHRED of evidence for them. EVER. And jumping to the conclusion of paranormal involvement in a case which can be easily explained in simple, logical terms is nonsense.
The simplest conclusion is usually true, and when the alternatives involve entirely unproved, entirely unlikely phenomenon never before witnessed, it's just ridiculous.
