Ever since my Emmets near death experience with his blocked urethra, his personality has completly changed. He used to be scared to death of people other them my b/f my roomate and me, but after he came home from his ordeal we had quite a few people over. He was literaly the life of the party. He visited with everyone and purred his head off...He has also started sleeping onour bed..something else he has never done before.....Did he really start seeing life in a whole new way when it came down to him almost dying. He seems happier then ever,except when he has to go to the vet. I am thinking just like people cats can have outer body experiences, cause emmet is definitly a new cat.......
