My dog passed on, one year after my husband passed. I was left with two cats. Though I loved them, I had not yet learned cat language. They were there to comfort me, guide me and open the door of wisdom as cats know it. They nursed me back to life, and then they, too, moved on to their path of truth. Now I am blessed with an indoor only cat, who likes it that way. We pray together. As I gaze in to her eyes I say, "I know you're wearing this cat costume, but I believe there's someone else within" Must be G-D...or my mother. and.like yours. Lucia roles over every morning for her daily massage, tummy, legs, paws, pads, ears..the whole body treatment. I am never quite sure who benefits from this ritual more. Sending you my prayers during this time of sorrow.

Thank you so much. What a beautiful story. I love how you see the universe in your cat’s eyes! It’s so comforting to hear from someone who really does understand. And Tá brón orm (I have sadness on me) for your loss.

" ... on the path of truth." This phrase for death is one of the most beautiful and inspiring things I have ever heard. My whole being says "yes" to this wisdom. Séamus, you will be loved forever in this realm (and next) as you embark on your path of truth.
