Visitations, Has Anyone Had This Experience? Options

[OnAMission]

On March 11, 2014, I lost my beloved tuxedo cat, Mission. He was truly the love of my love...my little animal soulmate. I've posted his story in this forum for anyone to read and comment on.

However, one thing I did not get into was the afterlife events. I am wondering if anyone here has had some "experiences" after they have lost a beloved pet?

We all wonder and worry about our loved ones, once they depart us and their mortal body. Where they are? Are they OK?

One thing I did right before the vet came to send my Mission on, was I asked him several time to let me know if he had made it to the Bridge and had crossed over safely. I pleaded with him to please let me know somehow, in some way.

Since then, things have been sad and silent since I lost him, that is...up until yesterday, when I'm thinking...hoping? that maybe - just maybe... Mission sent a sign?

Yesterday morning I went into my bedroom, where Mission lived, to get a few thing and then left and closed the door behind me. I did not realize that my big black cat, Miner must have sneaked into the room behind me. I had NO idea he did, as I wasn't there long with the door open. Miner had been a pretty good buddy of Mission's for a while many years back...until I started bringing other cats into the house and Mission decided he didn't want to be with the "crowd". Miner took over as the "leader" of the pack. Mission preferred to be alone in the bedroom.

Continuing...the story, I left the house and was gone for a few hours. Upon my return when I opened the door, out dashed Miner in a panic like he'd literally "seen a ghost"!! Now nothing ususally phases this cat. He is a big bossy, but laid back kind of guy. I looked around the room and saw that the area where I had set up a memorial to Mission was somewhat disturbed. Cards and photo albums wher knocked over or in disarray and the Cat Fancy calendar that Mission had appeared in, was on the floor. But, other items were just where they had been and were left undisturbed including Mission's ashes and the mini cypress tree garden.

So...I thought...hmmmm..was this some kind of sign maybe from Mission? Could he and Miner have "gotten into it" when Miner entered his turf? I could see Mission telling him, now wait a minute, buddy, this is MY room so you need to LEAVE. Maybe there was a scuffle between them??

The next occurrance was this morning.

I had finished vacuuming the room and did the rest of the house. After I was done, I returned to the room and noticed that the carpet was pulled up at the edge of the door and there were a few carpet shreds there, as well. I had JUST vacuumed and this spot was clean and there would have been no carpet shreds and I would have noticed if the carpet was pulled up some at the door and would have pushed it back. Mission used to claw at the carpet in the spot and also claw at the door in that same area.

Again..could this have been another SIGN?

Next strange thing.

I have corresponded fairly frequently with two other people on this forum...we have all connected. One lost her cat the very same day I did, and another lost her cat a little before we did. But, each of had a black and white tuxedo, an orange and white tabby and a gray and white tabby.

When I went looking for kitty figurines to go in my little memorial cypress garden, I found a black and white tuxedo cat. But, it was in a packet of 3 kitties you had to purchase together. The black and white, and orange and white tabby, and a gray and white tabby....

Hmmmm....Jaspersmom and Snapdragon, I hope you see this column!

Anyway, some food for thought, for inspiration... and for wondering. I'd love to hear if anyone else has had "visitations" by their beloveds.

Peace and blessings to all of you and your beloved fur babies....

These stories bring me hope. My old girl has not passed just yet but will not be here by xmas. her back end is going, she is going blind. She has been my companion for 13 years and I've had her since 4 months old. I hope she will come back to visit me.

I have another younger dog and wonder if anyone has experienced 'walk-ins'?

I am hoping that my baby will find her way back to me in another (dogs) body so we can be together for another lifetime.

Katja, I am so very sorry for what you are going through. Watching our beloveds getting older is incredibly painful. My boy had dementia and luckily, a wise vet gave him the right medication to keep him comfortable and at ease. Since his passing May 5th, I've had so many signs from him that I had to make a list, which has also helped me during my darkest hours. I even found a hawk feather in my bed, where he used to sleep.

I'm not sure what a "walk-in" is, but I believe with every ounce of my heart, that they do visit us often.

Wishing you comfort.

Olliebaby I'm so sorry for your loss, Ollie seems so special. I lost my beloved Mella 5th of June after 14 wonderful years with her by my side and in my heart.
I have been hearing things - but not meaws - stuff liking jumping on her favorite leather chair, curtain blinds moving, and even I once saw something like a shadow passing outside the door when I jumped to see what was that I found nothing...over the past 2 months, I have been feeling light touches over my legs and once on my head...but I did not feel the "fur"...I am not sure of all these things, and I told no one about them and when I told myself that I've lost it and all are illusions, my mother told me she feels steps on her bed and feels something passes behind her back while she is sleeping.

I was shocked (in happiness) that this might be Mella, and that she is visiting us, but wait, why my mother? why not me? I am her mother and her relation with my mum was not that strong at all...why not me?

These occurrences are still happening every couple of days with my mother...and I am still calling Mella's name, praying she comes to visit me, just to show me that she is okay, doing well, and still remembers me...I hope I can hear her meaw even once, I miss her so much.
