If not reincarnated...

[bubiko]

OK, I really want to belive that my beloved cat (she is still alive, but I do not think she will for long time) will be reincarnated and will come to me in this life at least once again. And also I belive I will recognize her, and we will live happly again..

But I have one question: This is fact not all of the pets will reincornate, and even if they will, eventualy they will die again. So once I am dead will I be able to find her again? How do you think is the place where we humans are going is the same as the place they are going. I want to belive that we will have another chance in afterlife. I want to believe we will be familly once again

Each person's belief about what goes on after death is an individual one. What we try to do on this message forum is share what we have had happen to us. This helps others form their opinions on what will happen.

I tend to use logic to ascertain what might happen to me and my pets after we have shed our earthly shells. My own personal belief is that after we die, we are asleep until we are reborn into a new body. That is why we cannot remember "the other side". If we do have a memory then it is of a past life (the part about after death is not there). That also explains why animals have greater instincts than us humans do - their memories may not be erased at rebirth.

I love all of my pets and have had many favorite ones die. I too would like to think they liked living with me enough to come back in another life, but I am also a realist. If that former pet also wanted to have a different type of life in another county with either someone to take care of it or just as a wild/feral animal, then who am I to say it could not. No human can "own" anything, because they did not create it.

Do yourself a favor and quit worrying about what happens "after", just enjoy the company of your cat today. Read and learn more about other people's experiences with life after death and develop your own personal beliefs and not follow any one single religion. Life is the greatest teacher.
