I hope it's ok that I post this here, it deals with my daughter's cat Gatito, so I think it's appropriate. I don't mean to bring anyone down by this post by the subject matter and that's not what I intend to do. What I want to do is make a statement because what some people think cannot happen, they actually do. I have a blog I started when my daughter died and I wrote this for it today and wanted to share it with you all. Thank you for letting me share.
Okay everyone, I AM in deep horrible grief about the death of Kaitlyn. I isolate myself a lot but I do not imagine things. I know I’ve mentioned incidences with Kaitlyn’s cat Gatito before but last night really made me think there may be something to this.
The things that have happened before that I’ve mentioned are these: He will sit in the middle of the floor, look straight up at the ceiling and meow. Well maybe he just likes to meow at the ceiling and nothing more. Then along with that, he sometimes gets on top of my dresser where Kaitlyn’s pictures and her perfume are and meows at them. The thing is though, these pictures are of when she was a child, not an adult but the perfume was the last perfume she used. This is the only furniture other than our couches and chairs that he will get on top of. He does not jump on tables or counters or anything like that. Then the other day he got on top of the back of Kaitlyn’s couch and meowed to the self-portrait that Kaitlyn drew that I have hung behind the couch on the wall. Last night I was sitting on the couch in my den, feeling horrible. Gatito got on the back of our small couch in our den that we keep in front of our never used fire place. He sat on top of the back of the couch turned around towards our mantel and started meowing in the direction of Kaitlyn’s baby picture and framed footprint. He was looking directly at them, not looking at anything else I had on the mantel.
Maybe he just likes to meow at things, but they just happen to be involving Kaitlyn’s things or things pertaining to her and nothing else. This cat does not get on top of anything and meows at other random objects, only hers. Coincidence….I don’t know.
No, I’m not hallucinating.
Kaitlyn loved this cat VERY, VERY much. Every time I called Kaitlyn and asked where Gatito was, she would always say “right here” in her lap. She used to talk to me about how very much she loved him and how much he kept her company. I know that he must have been the last being that she talked to before she took her life. There are connections some people just don’t understand and they transcend death.
