Weirdness

[undergroundpanther]

This past winter I found a dead ginger cat by the road while walking to the bus,he was laying near my house and my neighbor's house. As soon as I got back and the sun set,I buried him.He had no collar.It was cold out but the ground was thawed for the day this cat was buried. I put the cat on the property line between my house and my neighbor's. The cat's spirit asked to be put there..I didn't know that cat .I cried.I cry for every cat.
And when I was done I went in and hugged my fuzzy Rustle.And was so glad he was there.


Then this August Rustle died he was my sunshine ginger cat.(still missing him)

A few days after Rustle's passing I had a dream he was out at my back door, running around trying to get into the step well ,trying to get in the house. He was skinnier in my dream.He was confused.I walked up to him pet him and said It's okay you can go sweetheart...you are free to decide what you want to do..he stood there a minute than he took off.


This past Friday I saw a cat, in my yard as I was walking out my door,to go out.And right by the bush, by the door,it was another ginger cat,the same color as Rustle! Not as chubby tho.
Didn't see if he had a collar or not. He booked away didn't get a chance to get a good look at him.But he was that unmistakable ginger cat color.I got on the van asked the folks there if they saw the cat out in my yard..No one said they saw him,except the driver said she had a glimpse and she isn't spiritually asleep..Kinda strange ya think?

I'll keep an eye out for ginger cats,they might be trying to tell me something.I'll keep you all updated.Got any thoughts on what it might be these cats are trying to tell me?

1. Can't begin to guess

exactly what these cats are trying to tell you, except it may well be that Rustle was able to contact you, and you're giving him permission to leave was the best possible thing.

It may be that this new ginger cat is looking for a new home, and perhaps you will be chosen.

I have three cats of my own: one from an animal shelter, one from a vet, and the last simply showed up on our doorstep about two years ago in the middle of a terrible heat wave, starving and flea-infested. Clearly she decided that we were her last hope, and we took her in. I'm so very glad we did.

2. "Ghost kitties" do happen.

We lived with one for a couple of years. She was a really strong little girl--to the point that my husband even saw and heard her (He is the classic science guy who does not usually "get" this stuff...) When we moved she stayed with the house, I guess, because we never saw her again.

You may have a ginger kitty that loves you and wants to hang out with you, or you may have a ginger kitty that is attracted to your property for some reason. Look at it this way--it is kinda like having a cat without the litter box or the hairballs!

3. That's a hello from the ones who have passed on

Or so would say the author of a book I recently read. The book was hundreds of stories of pet companions whose pets have crossed over.

4. I have always attracted the same type of tabby cats

First was Tiger, he died of cancer at 6 yrs old, the first animal I ever had to put down...very hard but really spiritual event in & of itself

then Tigara, who was a stray that we took in, she dissapared and I never knew what heppened to her, coyotes no doubt.

two weeks later, I went to pick up a friend, and I was really pissy, endedup breaking down and telling her I was just upet because my baby was gone...she told me she "forgot" something and had me turn around and take her back home...i was more annoyed, but did it anyway...she came out of her apartment with this little baby fluffball...and she was with us for 8 years. "Sheba" survived a coyote attack at 8 months (she was my $1000 kitty!) and she moved with us several times, all over as my son and I strugged with so much. She was his touchstone, his only solace.
she must have eaten a poisoned mousie, she dehydrated and died in my arms before I could even think of how to save her. First time I ever had to deal with death as a mom, had to drive her halfway around the lake to find a vet to cremate her ...that was a year ago april 30th...

my baby "shakti" is now our new fierceness (she was born right after sheba died and a friend kept her till we were ready for a new cat)...she is very much like sheba, and yet so much more of a lover than sheba ever was. Shakti played in the yard with Sheba's ghost, I even think I saw her at times...because I would think I saw shakti in the yard, but then she would be inside sleeping on my bed... so who was it? ;)

Sheba sleeps in a little box on my bookshelf, next to a music box with a picture if Tiger on it...my memorial of kittehs

--they are all tortise shell tabbies, and I never went looking for them, hey have always come to me
familiars know how to find us...maybe this new kitteh is asking you if you are ready or a new little spirit to bring life & furry love into your life.

I read your heartbreaking story of Rustle, and I hope that if you do decide to become "owned" by this new one...that he/she will bring you some of the furry love you may be missing.

:hugs:
