I think my recently departed cat is still with me
A few weeks ago I lost my kitty cat best friend I’ve had for 11 years to lymphoma. We had a really tight bond; he’d greet me at the door, follow my everywhere and hop in my lap the moment I sit down. His weight and warmth in my lap is so familiar. He also had a tendency to knock things off of counters and tables to get my attention.
The day after he passed we threw a party that was originally supposed to be for him but it served more as a celebration of life by then. While we’re all having cake a piece randomly got knocked off the table. I joked that it was him but just assumed it wasn’t.
He would always follow you to the bathroom or sit in there to wait for you if you were in the other room with the door closed since it was nearby. My fiancé said she could hear his distinct breathing in the night and days later I heard him breathing in the shower (he’d go behind the curtains sometimes).
After that a bowl he had been eating from before he died got knocked off the counter out of nowhere.
Lastly, I was sitting in my normal spot on the couch and decided to pat my lap to call him over like I did when he was alive. After a moment my lap got heavier, then warmer and warmer it was so weird. I couldn’t believe it but kept my hands away to ensure it wasn’t me resting my arms on my thighs or something but it only got warmer. My fiancé felt my inner and outer thigh and confirmed it was significantly warmer where he used to sit.
What do you guys think?
