		<description>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 &quot;Miracle Cat&quot;, 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&#039;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&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;t allowed there when he was alive. This brings us all such comfort Thank you.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;s seen him 3 times already in different places in/ around the house but I am so sad I haven&#039;t seen him. I prayed today and asked God to give me a sign that he&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>The spirits of our pets do come back to make their presence known to their owners. I can vouch for that too. I&#039;ve had a visit from my dog after he died of kidney failure at the vet clinic. My sister had four dogs that died of natural causes and they all visited her briefly in full body form or in a wind carrying their smell. So, I did not not feel very sad when my last dog died of cancer last week. Her smell still blows through the house now and then.</description>

		<description>I believe!!!  I am still heartbroken - I lost my main coon, Tigger, 9 days ago.  He went missing on Tuesday evening and every night without fail I walked around the garden when I got home from work calling him and rattling his bowl of food. I walked the neighbourhood putting up posters and dropped pamphlets into letter boxes. We have a really large garden and hadn&#039;t covered some of it.  On Sunday evening my house mate found his body.  It appeared that he had been mauled by my house mates dogs but I wouldn&#039;t know as she would not let me near where his body was.  She put him in a bin liner and dug his grave.  We buried him and it was aweful.  One of the things he loved doing was curling up in a cupboard and he was constantly trying to get into both my house mate and her daughter&#039;s closet, only to be shooed away by them.  On the Sunday evening that we found and buried him, I had just gotten into bed and was still awake, obviously I couldn&#039;t sleep.  I felt such a distinct jump onto the bed that at first I though that some other cat had found it&#039;s way into the house but when I looked there was nothing there.  A little later I felt him curl up in the crook of my legs.  I put it down to grief and imagination and eventually fell asleep.  The next morning however, my house mates daughter told us that she had gotten up in the early hours of the morning to go to the toilet and her closet door was open so she closed it.  When she woke up in the morning it was again open.  My house mate, on the same morning, was woken up by Tigger hissing at her - I assume because of the dogs.  That was on Monday - three days ago.  Earlier on today I walked up the passage and my house mates closet door was open - there was no one else but me in the house so again, I assume that this was Tigger.  Out of the six doors, the one that was open was the one that he always tried to get into.  In addition to that my house mates daughter&#039;s closet was open again when she woke up this morning.  I still cry every day and would give anything to have him back.  I believe that he is still around because I have been unable to let go.</description>
