Our Ghost Kitten

i really enjoyed the story, although sad that baby fluffy died so young, its good to know he's still around. this story made me remember something. many years ago me and my son were living with my parents in their fairly old house, it was well over 100 years old. i was sitting up one night, watching telly, unable to sleep, when i became aware of 'something' in front of the video recorder, there was something there but i could see through it because i could see the time. i sat amazed as a large, white cat became visible, but always transparent, he just sat there and cleaned himself. we'd never had a white cat so he was'nt one of ours. i don't know how long i sat transfixed by this cat just doing what cats do but he did it while being totally see - through!! after a while, he stood up and stretched and started to walk along and disappeared as if behind a wall or something until there was no cat to be seen. it was'nt a frightening experience at all just odd. i decided to go to bed, half way up the stairs there came the loudest meow, it filled the room with noise, not an aggressive meow just as if the volume had been turned right up. i did'nt tell anyone for a long time, i worried they'd think i was cracking up. when i did tell my grandma she told me that many years before an old man had lived there and yes, you guessed it, he had a large white cat. by this time the old man had been dead 30 years and the cat much longer, maybe he was just seeing how the house was being looked after, i never saw him again and no-one else in the family saw him at all. strange stuff.

When I visited my Mom back East a few years ago. I missed my Kittygrl very much for 12 days, since we are always together. The night I slept at my Sister's home with my Mom (a real cat lover who's biggest wish was to go die and go to Cat Heaven someday). I experience s movement onto my bed at my Sis's home, as if Kittygrl were jumping on the bed as she usually does when I was home. It happened several times over the 12 day stay, she must have known how bad I missed her and I was comforted and astonished at the feeling of presence in the room where I slept. I really missed being with her but I felt her jump on the bed where I was staying. I was not imagining this, it had happened when I did not expect to happen.

Liked your story. Pretty sure one of my cats found it difficult to leave us too, kept hearing her distinctive voice long after she had gone to the rainbow bridge.

when we moved here we had an orange/white cat named amaretto, we called him 'retto'. he was only cuddly with me, at night he would lay with his paw on my hand, and if i moved my hand he would put his paw right back on it. this is the way we slept every nite.

one night he went out on the balcony, and somehow decided he was going to wander. well, he never came back, and of course i worried. we searched for him and called and called. then 2 days later my son found him dead in the dumpster, someone had bashed him in the head and threw him out like so much trash.

for months i cried everytime i thought of him and gradually the pain eased. i had to have surgery, and there were complications. i lost 10 days of my life, i remember nothing except the feeling of having a cat purring beside me when i was in the hospital. after i came home the visitations started, i would feel him on the bed, catch a glimpse of him in the bathroom, and sometimes feel him purring beside me.

in june of the next year i moved into another apartment, we were not allowed to have pets. i snuck a kitten in here anyway, named him louie. that way if anyone asked who louie was i could say he was my room-mate. i saw retto a few times after that but gradually as louie and i bonded he visited less and less.

it has been many years since i have seen my ghost cat but he is always in my thoughts.

someday i will see you at the bridge, retto. hugs and purrs
