Welcome, tmerc..

Last night I had a disconcerting dream about animals..see  http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1170240712that link..

I think animals are in the afterlife.  I've had many beloved pets pass on and I find it hard to believe they just cease to exist..just my opinion, of course.

Greetings tmerc8,

Many of us have had a pleasant visit or sign from our deceased pets long after they passed away, so I believe they are in a safe place.
If you are concerned about Suessy you could send thoughts and thought-pictures--mental images--using your imagination or mental telepathy to do it. Try not to feel too sad when you do this, so that Suessy will always think of the happy times you two shared.

Hello tmerc8,

I had an experience at the age of 15 that might give you some peace of mind and possibly some insight that we can bat around awhile if you like.

I turn the corner of my block on the way home from school one day, a very normal day. I started looking for the stray cat that befriended me and I thought it was strange that he was not in his normal location just before my walkway as he was almost every day. So I thought oh I guess he is not comming today and I felt sad. More sad than I should have and I knew it.

I shrugged it off and continued on my way. When I walked into the courtyard much to my delight he was there greeting me in his usual loving maner, but this was the first time he waited inside the court.  We sat on the porch, he purred and rubbed all over my legs. I pet him, held him and talked to him. Probably complained about my day, you know 15 and all. After about 10 min I told him I had to go in now and he pranced away and I went into the house.

My mother was standing at the end of the entrance way. By the look of her I knew something bad was coming. She informed me that she had taken "that mangy stray cat" to the pound and had it put to sleep. I looked at her in disbelief and then laughed telling her that I was just outside with him. She looked at he in horror and walked away.

Needless to say I felt a little numb. I knew then in my heart of hearts that she had indeed had him killed and that our "afternoon visit" was special. What a beautiful gift he gave to me. I still draw on that from time to time when I need a little strength.

When we give animals our love they love us back completly and love goes on and on and ....

I supose it is possible for some animals to get "lost" but think about it...I am guessing that he was very happy and deeply loved. Wouldn't this alone put him in a beautiful state of mind? Wouldn't that kind of peace send him on his way with no fear?

I don't think you have anything to worry about regarding his safety and happiness. It seems to me that he would seek out the kind of beautiful love he had known and besides animals have a keen sense of direction.

I feel for your loss. Each love is different so I don't know exactly how you feel, but I too have suffered the loss of a beloved. I am sending you love to spark your energy flow.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

With much love,   Stacy

Suessy is beautiful..we have a domino who my son named Baby...and my BIL calls Tom.  He's HUGE..and now blind in one eye, with a cataract..but quite sweet.

We currently have three cats, two fish and a deaf dog.

Stacy, to be honest with you I barely slept at all last night.  I think I finally fell asleep around 5AM and slept until around 9AM.  I can't remember any dream details but I do know that before I awoke this morning that I had a very calm and confident feeling settle over me.  Maybe your guides did indeed help me.  I just wish I could remember more.  Perhaps I will be able to sleep better tonight and retain more of my dreams to share with you tomorrow.

Seussy meant more to me than I'll ever be able to repay him for.  I have had my battles with depression and I can remember a particular time when I felt like Seussy was my only friend.  He was there for me unconditionally and it was like he understood me.  Strange as that sounds.

Interesting sidenote:

Last Friday and Saturday night I woke up feeling very claustaphobic.  It was like I was having trouble breathing even though I didn't feel a need to gasp for air.  It was a very odd feeling, one that I cannot remember having before.  Now that I look back on those two nights I can't help but feel that maybe I was experiencing what Seussy was feeling.  (He essentially died from fluids in his lungs and not being able to breath) I wonder if there was some sort of an Elliot/E.T. type connection.  Since he's passed away that feeling as left.  I can't explain it and I hope I'm not crazy.  Is it possible for pets and their owners to share a 'soulmate' type connection?

You'd recognise your friend by how it feels when you see them... Same way any of us reading this thread can recognise the feeling tones of each specific post.

Likewise, how do you recognise love in another? By feeling it in yourself... right?

I had a cat die some time ago. He was just a bundle of love, he radiated it. He used to sleep underneath the covers, curled up next to my chest.

After he died, I felt his presence at night, curled up next to my heart.

I would melt as I fell asleep, tenderness and longing and a deep appreciation for having had the little guy in my life for that brief period, feeling all that as I went into Dreamland....

tmerc8,
              I believe animals die just like we do... they don't disappear. They just lose physical form and continue on.

Your cat continues on, still emanating love still recieving love.

He remembers you.


Much love to you and Suessy,

                 Tim F.

Yes our beloved animals are on the other side!  My dog has come through many readings, and my daughter who passed I have been told takes care of animals that have been mistreated here, over there! They are energy just like us!
