I lost Purry, a beautiful black Persian with huge copper eyes and full purky lips. He was the love of my life. I miss him every day and still cry for him. He was at my side most of the time and slept with me for 14 1/2 years. It is now almost 6 months since he has passed and he has visited me twice. The first time was 3 weeks after he passed. One of the places he would sleep was on the top of my pillow on my head. In the middle of the night, he suddenly was laying on my head purring. I could feel the vibrations of his purr and the weight of his body on my head – pulling on my hair. I could hear him purring loudly – he had a loud purr. This was something Purry would do nightly and I would always reach my arm back to pet him. Well, I did just that, when his purring abruptly stopped – it all went away – vibrations, sound and the weight of his little body – all gone. For a brief moment it was as if he had never died. He was with me and I wish I didn’t go to pet him. I would give anything to feel him so close to me again. The following day I can’t ever remember being so happy. He’s okay. I don’t know where he is or what happens to us when we leave this life, but Purry is okay.

So last night around 11:00 p.m. I got up to get a glass of water. As soon as my feet touched the floor I heard a “thump.” It was the sound of Purry jumping down from the loft bed onto my desk. This was how Purry came down from the bed. I turned to see what had fallen – nothing had fallen – It was Purry jumping down. He is still with me. To this day I keep the area of the desk where he would jump onto clear of things, as if he is still using it. I keep everything the same for him including the areas of the bed he liked to sleep. I am hoping to hear him again.

Today is 5/5/12 & I put my beloved Bruce (bullmastiff) to sleep on 5/1. These last few days have been so lonely w/out him. I have 2 teen daughters & we r a military family. So Bruce has been there for me through the good and bad. He has been my protector and son while daddy has been away through all these last 5 deployments. I put him to sleep because he had cancer that was just getting worse. I didn’t want it to progress to where he was miserable but he was close to it. He had tumors all over his body with black and greys spots. He could barely sit on his bottom and he had an acl where the cancer was also spreading through.
Anyways,the day I put him to sleep, he was trying to pull back his arm from the doc who went through a series of 3 shots. On the final shot I told him mommy was very sorry and that I loved him very very much and to go be with God. He turned his head to me while I was hold him and he looked me directly in the eyes and licked/kissed me 3 times. Then he just dropped his head and left us.
The first night I could swear I had a dream about him but can’t remember the dream. But it’s strange because my daughter slept w/me and she dreamt of him too and we were both woken up w/him barking.
Then today 5/5 I woke up smelling him. A strong smell of him. We have his ashes on the mantel and I have his toys in my room on the rocking chair and one of his fave monkey in my bed. Oh also yesterday the upstairs window curtain was opened at the bottom where he used to stay when we left the house waiting on us to return home. My daughter swears that when I left with yesterday to run some errands the curtain was closed all the way down.

After my beloved Toby was ran over by a car when we had started out walk, I rushed him to the hospital. He was in shock, and he was immediately put to sleep and I hardly had time to tell him goodbye. In the car, he looked at my eyes as if he was saying goodbye and I kissed on him. Even the women who ran over him was crying and he was reaching out to kiss her too as if to say he understood and it was his fault. I came home, after only 30 minutes maximum of rushing to the vet and saying goodbye. I was just in shock and could not believe this had happened and so fast. That night, I lay on the cough watching t.v. and thinking of Toby. I felt him walk up on me and lie down, which is what he would do when we watched t.v. At first, I thought I imagined it, but I felt his weight on me. I said to him that I loved him. Eventually after a few seconds, I felt the weight lifted. I decided to go to be, and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water, and again I felt him with me and felt him rise up on my leg to be petted. This time, I KNEW he was there, it was palpable. So I put my hand down and petted him as if he was there in body, like I could see him, and said, Toby, I know you are sorry that you didn’t mind me and not run from me, but it is okay, I want you to cross that rainbow bridge now and run like the wind like you love to do while on earth and go visit Jesus. He left me and he has never been back. I think he needed closure

I saw this when i was searching the internet for pets coming back in spirit form as i am sure my dog Sadie has visited me. She went missing over a year ago now and we never found her she was nine years old and still to this day have no idea what happened to her but feel she has passed over. At night in bed, every night the bed shakes for no apparent reason just like it did when she slept on my feet at night and had a scratch. i really do think its her and i have no other explanation for this shaking! i hope it is her as she was always my best friend xx

Thank you all for posting these comments about your pet spirit. I too had the spirit of my pet cat Lila to come back to visit me. I did not think anyone would believe me if I told them about my story. Thanks for letting me know that their are others among us who has experience similar situations. On January 4, 2012, we had to put our adopted beloved golden girl to sleep. On January 1, 2012, I heard the still small voice of God tell me that Lila was coming home to rest in peace. My heart was heavy all day. I cried so hard that my eyes stayed swollen for 3 days and tears are still flowing. In August 2011 she was diagnosed with severe Kidney Disease. Her blood test were so bad that the Vets had already given her up, but we did not want her to go. We wanted to at least give her a chance to fight. She was a cat that was Happy Every Day and would never let anything keep her down. Lila was a fighter and we were determined to fight for her.
My family and I was devoted in caring for Lila day and night. We had already decided that we would not be selfish with her life, if she started to suffer too much and her quality of life was poor, then we would put her to sleep. The Animal Hospital Veterinarians were all calling her the “Miracle Cat”, because she fought a good fight and over came the infections the 5 ulcers in her eyes, and her blood work had improved. But on December 27, 2011, she started getting weak and tired. The Vet said to us, we are amazed that she is still alive. She now has one kidney functioning, and possible gastric bleeding, plus feline anemia. Even with more medications, her body was too weak to fight the anemia. We made that difficult decision, and had her euthanized at home with love ones. Her body is gone, but she is still here with us in spirit.
Lila’s spirit came to visit me earlier this morning. First, I saw a glowing amber colored light and then her face appeared so vividly, at least twice. Then I saw these shadows moving around her. They got closer to my bed so I reached out my hand to touch her. The shadows moving around her were peaceful. I was not afraid of them. I told her how much I loved her and that I am glad she is at peace with no more pain and suffering. After her spirit began to fade…I cried more tears, closed my eyes, and turned over in my bed. Suddenly, I felt her leap on my bed just the way she use to do. I believe she came to tell me that she is okay, and to stop crying, because she is still happy. It makes me feel better knowing that she is all right. We still have her sister Leila with us, but if I mention Lila’s name, Leila starts looking for her. She misses her sister very much. I asked Lila to look in on her sister Leila from time to time. One day we will all see each other again. Thank you.

We lost our beloved cat on 29/12/2011 and are devistated. reading all these messages on here has really confirmed that she is still around. i hear her little bell ring throughout the day and have left her cushion on the floor. When I wake on a morning I see four little paw prints and a inprint on it. I do talk to her because I have always believed they do stay around us. 17 years ago we lost our beloved dog Ringo and occasionally I can smell him and see a black shadow on the stairs.
Both my husband and i felt him climbing onto our bed, although he wasn’t allowed there when he was alive. This brings us all such comfort Thank you.

Hi,
I just had to put my loving and faithful best friend Claire to sleep tuesday Dec 15th. She was a spaniel/setter dog who was the best loving pet I ever had. She had cancer. I rescued her from a shelter and gave her the best 7 years of my life. I one day hope to see, feel or know her presence. Great stories here.

I am so touched by all these stories. I just lost my 2 year old puggle/ dauchound mix, Mylo on Friday. I was so close to him. He was my best friend. We had such a close bond and he was so protective of me. My step dad says he’s seen him 3 times already in different places in/ around the house but I am so sad I haven’t seen him. I prayed today and asked God to give me a sign that he’s okay and I also asked Mylo himself to give me comfort but I have yet to experience any sign from him. It gives me hope hearing these stories that someday I will see him.

I believe as well. My wife who is very spirtual and giving saw our Yorky last night. Petey was only 3 years old this past May and passed on Aug 24. Petey was diagnosed with a brain tumor and we had to put him to sleep. Petey was a Yorky, but was born with no hair on his back and was only 4 lbs. He had to fight for everything his first few months during life, he was the underdog. We took him from the breeder after we had bought his brother, the breeder did not want him anymore. My wife and Petey were very close. He was always cold due to his lack of hair and my wife always carried him around under her house coat, they formed a close and bonding relationship. When he passed, my wife says that it is as bad as losing a grandchild. My wife has been sick the last few days with the flu and woke up last night in the middle of the night and saw Petey in bed watching her. His brother came out from underneath the covers and started barking at the area she saw Petey and was getting very excited (he misses him so much). She got out of bed to take Carter out after Petey faded but she thinks Carter could still see him. He ran around outside as if playing with his brother and kept barking when Jenny brought him back in. Jenny said it was like she was telling her that Petey was left outside. Carter always protected Petey and looked after him. I have smelled him on a least one occasion. We believe also.
