Was this a sign…

My Mum passed away 4 years under very sad circumstances…I decided to stay with my Dad that week whilst we organised funeral etc.

One day I noticed there was a cat in the garden, had made it self very comfortable in a flower pot. When I went back into the kitchen a few hours later the cat was still there and another had joined. An hour later there was 4 cats sitting in the same spot

I am terrified of Cat’s…I suspected maybe one of the cats had given birth. I forced my husband to go into the garden and see what’s happening. To his surprise there was a 5th cat trapped under a ladder near the garage.

Could this have been a sign? Mum didn’t get to say goodbye

Maybe. I have had some surprisingly accurate experiences with tarot too- may be worth finding someone to do a reading for you with this in mind?

Did your mum like cats? Was the date significant that you saw the actual cats on?

You’re terrified of cats so why would you get a sign that involved them?

Where were the kittens the cat gave birth to?

If you're terrified of cats why would your mum send them to scare you?

Alwaystierd · 26/03/2025 21:43

@SwanRivers no kitten, the cats where drawing attention to the cat that was stuck under the ladder

my mum didn’t care for cats either

only mention this because I had forgotten about and had a flash back almost exactly to the day 4 years later

I don't understand the connection between the cats and your mum. Are you saying this was your mum saying goodbye? It would be a very odd way for her to do it. This doesn't make sense to me, sorry.

No of course the cats were not carrying a message from the other side
