If you've read more than a few of my posts, you'll know that I'm very close to my cats. Kitty has been with me for 18 years. As she aged she became more and more loving. When she was a kitten, she slept on my head. The last few months she had been tucking herself into my armpit. Her purring was a nice steady sound to help me sleep. Last week, I had to say goodbye. She was in so much pain that I knew it was time. The actual act of putting her to sleep was awful because the doctors had trouble finding a vein and I was just mortified that it was not a peaceful experience for her. That night I woke up to one of my other cats jumping on the bed. I thought to myself that it was cool that they were both sleeping with me, as I was already snuggling with one. Except when I opened my eyes, there was only one cat there. The next couple of nights, I could both hear the purring and feel the vibration on my body from Kitty. It was her way of telling me that she was ok. One of my other cats, Karma, was really cool with it and would snuggle with her (they never did that alive). The other cat, Daisy, would jump on the bed, look in the general direction of where I felt Kitty was and then jump down immediately. I don't feel Kitty as much anymore, I'm hoping it's because she's moved on to a sunny place. Her visits to me were comforting and reassuring that there is life beyond, ever for the kitties.

I am sorry for the loss of your longtime friend.
One of my four cats is so old that every day I find her still breathing is a miracle to me.
Earlier this year we had to put our old dog to sleep. For days after the event I could feel her and heard the sound of her claws clicking and clacking on the hardwood floor. I also saw a flash of a vision of her. She was just a being of light and energy, not the normal physical features although the shape of her was there.
I think their souls stay with us for a few days to be with us before they go to the Light.
Thanks for your note Sophia! I think that's cool that you saw the light energy of your dog. It's very comforting, isn't it? I am only feeling and hearing my cat. I think she's staying for the long haul...it's been over a week and she still comes up to me every night.
