A week ago I lost a one year old kitten to leukemia. When we went to the vet, she was so far gone that the vet thought she maybe had a week. After x-raying her abdomen, he thought a few days. In an attempt to give her a few more days (so my husband could return from his trip and say goodbye) we decided the best thing to do was remove the fluid from her abdomen so she could breathe. She was not in pain, just experiencing malaise and difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, before we could begin the procedure she died in my arms. It was devastating. I brought her body home to show the others so they did not continue to look for her and then I buried her in the garden. We live in Mexico and it happened to be Dia de Los Muertos, so the timing could not have been more dramatic.
Ever since her passing, strange strange things have been happening. It started with all my herb pots falling over (they are already on the ground). She used to LOVE the garden and knocking over pots. I think she broke at least 4 in a few months. I would put them back up and think it strange since there has been no wind. Once i heard one fell and ran outside, but the dog was sleeping on the roof and looked as confused as I was. Two days later the weirdest thing happened. Downstairs on the ground floor there is a bodega, or storage closet. Inside there was a old dog toy. I came home from my nightly dog walk, we went inside and went to bed. The next morning, the door to the bodega was open and the dog toy was upstairs next to the door. I know it wasnt there when i came home and the cleaning lady said it definitely was not there when she left that night. There is literally no other explanation. I have left the toy where it was, and last night it moved again.
Has anyone ever had a cat stick around? I wonder if shes sticking around because she wants to say goodbye to my husband. Or if my overwhelming grief is keeping her close. Or am i just plain crazy?
