smithduke, My sincere condolences on Howie. Having a beloved pet euthanized is one of the hardest things you'll ever do and it never gets easier. I've gone through many where I've had a cat or kitten euthanized. One of my most memorable times was one of my favourite show cats, Missy, who had a "natural death" of heart attack at age 17. For a few days after her death, I could feel her walking on me while I was in bed. Another favourite, Mona, also had a heart attack at age 15. I occasionally caught glimpses of her out of the corner of my eye. Mona's lifelong cat friend, Ladybug, missed her terribly for months meowing and constantly looking for her and would sit where Mona used to sit and often Ladybug would look as if she were watching a cat walk across the room, and I do think she could see her Mona's "spirit" even tho I couldn't at the time. Mona was very special to me and I had a very hard time with her death and felt quite depressed for many months as I missed her so much. This is perfectly natural to mourn the death of a pet as it is for a person.
Many years ago in '80s another cat, Blueboy, had to be euthanized as a result of an inoperable bladder tumour at age 15. I used to catch glimpses of him occasionally sitting in his favourite spots for some months after his death. For some reason or other, I experienced no glimpses or feelings or sensations for other cats that died over the years. It was just a special few. I don't believe any love is ever forgotten, and I certainly hope to be reunited with my fur friends in the spiritual world. "No heaven will not Heaven be; without my pets to welcome me" ~ unknown |
