Hi

Please don't think I'm mad but I lost my fur baby a few weeks ago and I miss him like crazy . I was in the garden going toward the she and I swear I saw him lying in the lawn out of the corner of my eye . Obviously the pain of losing him is still raw and maybe my mind is playing tricks ? It shook me tbh but in a nice way . Has anyone else experienced this ?

I was away from home when I saw my cat out of the corner of my eye. A few minutes later came the phone call that she was dead.

This, and other experiences with dying cats, have really changed how I view death. Something lingers for a while after death, it just does, and it doesn’t seem so impossible that the something can flicker through the dreams of loved ones and their peripheral vision.

Buddhists have some interesting ideas about how the soul wanders in a very powerful inbetween state for a few weeks before reincarnating.

I light a white candle for them and open a window so the soul is free to leave and I leave food and water out for at least 7 days after they go.

Reincarnation can take years, but I believe that sometimes they come back to you, they don't look the same but when you look at each other there is something familiar.

Buddism is fascinating to study and a good way to live if you are spiritual.

A couple of times after they have gone I have seen a rainbow, the first time was when I was by the house we lived in when she moved in, her home. The rainbow went behind the house.

The other time was after the sick boy had gone, I looked outside and the most vivid rainbow was over his original home.

I like to think they had gone to say goodbye to the place they lived.

@MonumentalLentil I saw it in my new cat. Even caught it on video where his face changed and just for a second he was my old boy

The tuxedo is a visiting cat, my old boy would be fascinated with his bum Grin and judge him

I dream of our much loved cats and other pets. Thankfully so far happy dreams. I find it comforting that they maybe letting me know we loved them so much.
Apparently (according to my youngest child) in our dreams faces are always ones we've seen so if I dream of a cat it will be one I know.
