I was sitting at the desk when I felt the familiar brush of a cat walking beneath my chair, rubbing against my legs. As always, I reached down to playfully grab the tail – something I’ve done for years whenever one of the kitties came into my office.
I grabbed onto…nothing. No one was there. My three cats were spending time in the upstairs bathroom as a carpet cleaner made his way through my home.
Definitely Dickens...my beloved cat who had earned his angel wings on 7/10/10.
Yesterday, for the first time since Dickens has been gone, I experienced a perfect moment. Everything shifted, and suddenly I felt completely at peace with the world. I knew all was as it should be. I was even laughing!

“I’m HERE!” he seemed to say. I could describe his beautiful face in one word...JOY.
I immediately woke up and saw that only a minute had passed since I last looked at the clock. Then I went blissfully back to sleep, knowing that Dickens had found a way to let me know he was well and happy.
Just lovely…

What a gift he gave you. I'm so glad he let you know.
I knew he'd stop by, Bernadette - it was just a matter of time!
Very, very cool!! My Bear cat "talked" to me for a long time after I had to euthanize him. I heard him often!
My my, Chris, what a wonderful experience. I went all aglow when I read it. Thank you. Bob
Tammy, how wonderful about Bear! I hope I hear Dickens - he was quite the talker here on earth!
Thank you so much, Bob - it makes me glow, too!
Lots of people encounter their animals after they have gone. Here is a good article about this experience. http://www.petsandpeople.com.au/?p=110
