Visit from Theodore…
Okay so some of you are probably going to read this and think I’m going psychotic…others…my more spiritual readers, well you will probably tear up at the spiritual aspect of this story as I have been doing all day long.
Last night around 8 p.m. I broke down in tears because the tuft of Theodore’s fur the vet gave me lost its smell — I could no longer smell my beloved cat from the small tuft. I was devastated.
I suffer from insomnia – some nights worse than others. Last night was a BAD night. At 5:55 a.m., I suddenly awoke from a very light sleep to feel a cat walking/pacing back and forth across the foot of my bed, walking over my feet to and fro the sides of the bed. I wondered why Sasha was up at this time and not in her usual spot: two feet away from my head at the head of the right side of the bed. I felt the cat walking over my feet and picked my head up..
Sasha was sound asleep right next to me.
It was Theodore’s spirit visiting me on one of my worst nights. The walking stopped as I picked my head up and then I felt a hard pressure on my left palm — Theodore used to nudge my hand quite hard when he wanted head scritchies.
This actually freaked me out a little so I turned the TV on for some light, and then I saw them — paw print impressions on the cashmere blanket at the end of my bed…
I immediately knew it was Theodore – and I knew it was him telling me that he is okay now and not in pain – and that he is still waiting for me. Although I was freaked out (I have NEVER experienced anything remotely close to a human or animal spirit visit), I told Theodore to rest and that I love him and not to nudge my hands anymore because that scared me. (I kept the TV on til I awoke at 10 a.m. this morning). I’m actually considering calling a pet psychic to see if they can tell if his spirit or whatever is in my room — is that me going crazy or what?!!?
What do you all think???
I say, if you’re crazy, you’re in good company. The entire last third of my book, The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood, is on exactly this!
Not at all -
Only the crazy ones think they don’t send signs they’ve made it – they are settled – they are safe – they are missing us -
When you have a chance, please read the post Trixie’s mom wrote for her – she hadn’t ever experienced it before and is now a believer too -

Keep your eyes open – he might be back again to keep an eye on you
You’re not crazy.

You are definitely not crazy and we truly believe it was your precious Theodore letting you know he was ok. (((hugs)))
I hope Theodore’s visit was comforting to you. What an experience.
Mom is smiling and smiling and smiling – she thinks you are right.

Hi Jaime,
I didn’t think pets would come back to say goodbye but I guess from my recent experience they do. Not the least bit superstitious nor a believer in ghosts. I take comfort that they still think of us even when they are gone and that we will see each other someday.
Take heart. It’s theodore’s way of saying everything’s alright and telling you not to fret.

Theodore, it was nice of you to come back to leave a comforting message!
Crazy? Nah. I’d hope to have the same experience…
If you are crazy, then we are crazy too. Riley and Vincent still come back to see us from time to time. Mommy & Daddy both see/hear/feel them. Us furry people do too. Purrs.
I still heard Pooh Bear’s collar jingling out in the hallway for a long time after she passed away, so, no, I don’t think you’re crazy either.
I agree with everyone else. When you have such a connection to another living thing and that person/pet is taken from you, you are destined to feel them with you from time to time. I still do with my heart dog Sophie and my beloved grandmother. And it gives me comfort.
You’re not crazy, I believe it was definitely him.I think our departed pets come around a lot more than we realize, because most of us have a hard time tuning in to that “frequency.” I can see why it might unnerve you, but it’s really nothing to be afraid of. For many months after one of mine passed on, I would feel him walking on my bed at night, and I would talk to him and tell him I was glad he came to visit me. P.S. I have the name of a great pet psychic who does phone consults if you want it.
so very comforting! he wanted to let you know he was alright..
Cross My Heart ** An Indian legend says: “When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into Heaven. At the head of the bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge…and which are turned away.”he is waiting for u!
Offcourse you’re not crazy! Theodore is just watching over you, and wants you to know he’s just OK!
Hi, No I don’t think you are crazy. I have several that visit me from time to time. I had one of my fur kids die in December. Mojo was 5 and he comes when I need him. The most beautiful thing is this is a testament to love. It truly never dies. As the movie Ghost said. “You can take it with you.” No matter what or who you loved.
This is a gift. Enjoy! Many Blessings to you!
our mom thinks that is SO COOL! she had a little parrot who died many years ago and visited her a couple of times. of course, it is a well known fact that our mom is crazy! she wishes and wishes for little Bijou puppy (in heaven) and Chloe (in heaven) and Andre (also in heaven) to come and visit her, but they never have. they all come to visit us all the time, but humans are so dense that they don’t realize that the spirits of our departed friends are all around us. we wanted to tell you that it’s very special when your departed pet comes to visit you though, and when you can be open enough to recognize it. Theodore just wants to check on you and make sure you’re doing okay. we know cuz he told us too.
woofs.
In 1991, I adopted a pair of bonded kittens. In August of 1996, the male cat Rhett was in kidney distress and went to the animal emergency room. In the middle of the night his sister Scarlett started to howl this awful howl.
A few minutes later the phone rang and it was the emergency vet saying our cat’s time was about up. 15 minutes later a more mournful howl came from our female cat and the phone rang again saying Rhett had died. I know he had visited her in spirit and was saying good bye to his sister.
And, he had a special way to nudge and head butt me — after I’ve gone to bed on some of my worst days — I can always feel that.
Good afternoon, I don’t agree with everything in this write-up, but you do make some very good points. I’m very interested in this matter and I myself do alot of research as well. Either way it was a well thoughtout and nice read so I figured I would leave you a comment.
My beloved Westie passed last June at 14. Five days after his death he came back and let me know (a story too long to relate here) in no uncertain terms that it was him. I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself! My only fear now is that we Humans may not be good enough to go where our pets have gone. I do know now though that death is not the end but just a passage to another beginning..
