just before Christmas my neighbours cat died I used to baby sit for him when they were away, and in turn she looks after my feline friend.

last week we were away and I went round to give her my door key, like you do and she was telling me how she was coping with out him and how her other cat was missing him.

As she was telling me I felt a cat wrap itself round my legs, like cats do, and when I looked down there he was, looking fit as a fiddle and nice and fat, he was skin and bones when he passed over.

I told her that he was still there with her and she jsut said "shut up!!" a bit like vicky from little Britain!
and she kinda thought he might be as her other cat looks at certain places all the time as if she can see him.

after a silence she asked how I knew, and I told her quietly that I had just seen him!
she got a little weepy and then said it was nice he was still around

I thought it was nice too that he was there and had let himself be seen

Interesting Dax. It reminds me of just before we moved a couple of years back both me and my wife noticed as we sat on the settee watching tv, a white cat move through the room.
We saw this at seperate times and were surprised that we both saw the same thing.
We were at my brother-in-law's new house a few weeks back and both of us again seperatly 'sensed' a small dog in the room. It was only after talking about it did we realise he didn't have a dog. At the time we both kind of took it for granted as if he had a dog and it should have been there.
Strange eh?

Hi Guys
I have also experienced spirit animals. My own cat was murdered and was seen and heard in the house for over 6 months after she died.
I think i have spoken about this in more detail on this site a while back as i griginally found this site on a problem neighbours site - it was my neighbour that killed my cat.
Anyways, back to the subjact at hand, i do believe in animal spirits as i have seen, heard and felt my own cat after she died.

my son claims to see dead cats all the time. it doesnt surprise me as i believe cats are highly intelligent and would probably find it no challenge at all to manifest themselves to us. i've also had a cat murdered by a neighbour and my son has never seen him, i kinda think he got lost, somehow, in all the trauma of his death.

i've never seen any animals ghosts, however, i had a dog for 16 years and even now, 2 years after she passed, i still hear (and smell) her. best dog in the world
