Our senior cat, Speedboat, has been gone since Janary 25th. He always slept in a box with Muffin. Mattie had her own as we could never get her to sleep with them. They live outside in a confined fenced in area. Since he died I have been putting them in the garage at night in a large cat cage to keep Muffin warmer and also to help him not be so lonely. Last night I saw Speedboat just for an instant in my dream. I was walking in my house. When I turned around, there he sat, just watching me and then he was gone.
I went outside today to sit with the cats and I couldn't find Mattie. I knew Muffin was in his box. I looked in Mattie's box and she was not there nor anywhere in the yard. I went back, stooped down and looked in Muffin's box and there she lay, in the box with him in Speedboat's usual corner. I didn't know if to laugh or cry. I believe maybe Speedboat made an appearance to let us know everything is alright. Cats have their own way of working things out, don't they.
