I've long been a cat person, and currently enjoy the company of three adorable felines in the home I share with my sister. Their names are Chelsea, Smooch, and Zoot; all are female and have been spayed.

Perhaps the most interesting cat story I could share would be in relating the one time I've seen a ghost--the ghost of my cat. It happened in the same house in which I now live, about six or seven years ago. One of our cats, a spayed female named Segunda, had grown old (about fourteen years) and feeble; she had developed sores in her mouth, and could not eat solid food. In fact, she was beginning to waste away. My sister recognized that the quality of our cat's life had become terribly poor, and that the humane thing to do was to take Segunda to the vet to be medically killed. For many, many years I had been against medical killing of pets, but witnessing this poor cat slowly die changed my mind. So my sister took Segunda in one day for the doctor to administer a quick, humane death to her, and afterwards we had her remains cremated--her ashes still reside upon our mantelpiece.

Some time after Segunda's death, I began to see strange flashings of light in my peripheral vision. There would be a streak of light in the corner of my eye, and when I would turn in the light's direction, there would be nothing there. This went on for about two weeks. One night, at home in my living room, I experienced this same kind of flashing in my peripheral vision, and turning again in its direction, saw Segunda come running from the hall towards the area of the living room. She looked absolutely corporeal, just as she did when living. She stopped all of a sudden and looked directly at me with a curious expression in her eyes. And then, all of a sudden, just like that, she simply wasn't there anymore. It all happened so quickly that I didn't even have time to process what I was experiencing. But I felt I had just received vivid confirmation that life endures beyond the body's demise, and that Segunda's spirit was still somewhere in the mind and heart of God, continuing her journey, for parts now invisible to me.

moremojo, that is a lovely story. I believe in "kitty heaven" and I believe your kitty did return to you; to let you know she is alright.

As far as having a pet put down at the vet, I am grateful I can do that for them if needed. If the time comes. Most of our pets have died at home of old age or disease processes, but a few have been euthanized at the vet. It's a hard thing to do but it's humane and anyone who loves their pets does it out of love. So no one should beat themselves up about it.

I think that there is a pet heaven too!!

Plus, some of us humans maybe come back as a pet, like as a cat??

Any thoughts about this??

Hugs!!

I believe in an animal heaven. The soul is energy, and all living things possess this energy. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can be changed and manipulated, but it cannot be destroyed. So, this energy continues on, even after death. The energy within our brains (and in other animals) is intelligent and quite probably returns to the "Source" after death (Heaven).

I never did believe in Reincarnation. But many people do. It doesn't make sense though, unless there is a necessary "progression" involved before a living creature is allowed to enter eternal life in heaven. But if this is the case, why  would a human being return as a cat? It would make more sense for a cat to return as a human.

I don't know. The whole thing confuses me. But I definitely believe in life after death. Albert Einstein even believed in it.

Sorry about that! I didn't mean to turn this thread into a theological/science essay. Now back to the cat stories!  :)
