Your story is very sad. It made me think about the sad day when my cat will die and in fact the sadness of death that we all must face. Luckily for cats they do not know that this day will come.

As I type my cat is lying on my left arm purring like a little engine!

I hope that you will get another cat to light up your life.

Wow, Mike. That is very freaky. The fact that someone else saw this shadow must have been very reassuring to you!! I wonder if you could find out the history of the house. Maybe some neighbors know about a cat that used to live there. At least this cat seems friendly. What a relief!

I just thought I would tell my story. This past year I bought and renovated this old home here in St. Louis. Several times I noticed a grey shadow moving across the floor. I am 55 and never seen anything like this before. Later I had a painter friend who would come in town; he lived about 90 miles away and would stay in the basement during the week of work and drive home on the weekends. One day I asked him it going sleeping in the basement and all and he said great but he kept seeing a shadow racing across the floor. I just kept my mouth shut out of shock I guess. Months later while in bed kind of in that half asleep dream stage I absolutely felt a cat jump up on my bed near my feet. I mean I know the feeling having a roommate in the past with a cat, how that feels. I said wow and told my friends. Now just last night in exactly the same sleep state the cat jumped up right near my head, startled I swiped with my hand to shoo him or her away. Anyway it was so real both times. Maybe I will try some meditation to see if he will appear again, which I am sure he will.

You touched me with your poignant CAT reminiscences.
I have a small 20-year-old dog and another dog and Tuppence, the cat. Anyway, about your “new” white cat appearing…. Recently I read: “There are no coincidences—only small miracles.” Isn’t that wonderful?

Hi Karen, We lost our favorite butterscotch cat Timmy just before Thanksgiving 2005. He was a 9-year-old Maine Coone Cat with a mane around his neck and tufts on his ear points and toe pads. We had him since kittenhood (rescued from the dog pound). Ten months of Diabetes and complications took their toll and we buried his frail body under the lilac bushes. I’ve written Timmy’s story and hope to make an altered book with it. Just after Christmas, a large young Maine Coone Cat, VERY redhead, long fluffy tail, showed up at our door late at night crying for food. Probably a drop-off. It was an eerie thing to see him charging like a lion around the corner and running into our house like he owned the place. We eventually adopted him into the family. I could completely identify with your sighting of the white cat near your cat’s grave. Best wishes, Honi

hi kare your story is wonderful and sad at the same time for me..my cat “yummy” has been i;ll awhile now..she is going on 13 years, and really, no one knows what it is like to have a wonderful, faithful loving animal unless they do..she has given us so many hours of fun, love and yes, lots of laughter..whenever i have been ill or not well she always seems to be beside me in bed oe wherever until i am well again…thank you for your story..it actually helped me to remember, the days that count with her are the ones we are in..and to just enjoy her until her time comes..i believe that was “cats” spirit you saw…how joyful..have a wonderful week...carol
