I have loved animals my whole life and lost my cat, Domino, whom I loved dearly, several years ago. I had him for 15 years and he was about 17 when he died due to complications from kidney failure. After he died I got two kittens from a local shelter. I named them Joshua and Caleb. They would often wake me up in the mornings, jumping on the bed and running across me. There were many times that I would lie in bed after waking up and close my eyes, not wanting to get up. I would then hear a noise like one of my cats jumping on the bed and then feel what I thought was one of them walking around on the bed. When I would look around to see which one of them had joined me there would not be anything there. This has continued even though I moved to a new location.
In February, I lost Caleb, who was only 5 years old. He had been sick due to a bladder obstruction since early in the month but that had cleared and I put him on the new food that the vet recommended. My roommate arrived at home after work one day and Caleb was running ahead of her, excited to get the little bit of canned food he would get every afternoon. All of a sudden, he collapsed and seemed to have a seizure. My roommate rushed him to the vet, whose office was only 5 minutes away, but he could not detect a heartbeat. Needless to say, I was devasted when I found out what had happened. About 2 weeks later I was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of Caleb's meow, which was very distinctive. I sat up in bed and saw what looked like Caleb except for the fact that he was glowing. I could even see the stripes that he had. I put my hand out to touch him and the glowing dissipated and he just faded away. I think that he came back to visit me because of the deep sadness that I had due to his loss. I still miss him but I am glad that I was able to give him a good home for the time that he was here.
