I just wanted to share this here, where I know you guys won’t think I’m nuts…Cotton came to visit me to other night.
I’ve been going through a bit of a rough time lately (the kind of time where I would have been hugging my big white cat a lot) and part of that has been pretty painful dental issues.
I woke up a few nights ago feeling ill…toothache, headache, heart burn, cramps…typical really bad night for me, and while I was laying in bed thinking about whether I should tough it out or go downstairs and take something the bedroom door bumped open a few inches – like it always does when one of the cats comes into the room. I didn’t hear anyone, but that’s not odd because the only one I hear when she comes in is Freya. So I roll over to see who it is and can clearly see a big white cat with curled ears sitting next to the bed looking at me. Anyone with white cats knows how easily you can see them in the dark. So I blinked a few times, laid back down and rolled back over to look, knowing he’d be gone, but he was still there…and I could feel him giving me ‘the look.’ Whenever I had one of these nights with Cotton, he’d give me an almost-exasperated look until I felt bad enough that I’d go take something and feel better, then he’d curl up and go to sleep with me. So I spent several minutes looking at this big white cat, who I know couldn’t actually be there, but feeling bad that I was putting him out by making myself uncomfortable. So I finally got up to take something, the whole time he was stills sitting there looking at me. It wasn’t until I went to walk past him and put a hand down to touch his head like I always did that he faded. I saw him lift his head to bump my hand, but he never connected. When I looked back at the bed, I noticed that both Freya and Wendel were curled up in bed asleep and I went downstairs to take something, I found Sybil dozing on the landing – so I know it wasn’t any of them.
I guess my big buddy felt that I really needed a cat that night, and he was right. I’ve felt consistently better ever since.

I hope you experience his presence with you again when you need him so..
for you as well. I really hope things get better for you soon.
