Lots of mediums confirm this is so but one in particular impressed me, though he's "passed over" himself now. That was the famous British medium Leslie Flint, who had the gift of being able to facilitate "direct voice mediumship"...where you actually hear the so-called "dead" speak directly without the medium saying a word and full two or three-way conversations can take place.
Sceptics will be shouting at me to go away at this point...but thousands of people witnessed Flint's mediumship and he was tested under strict "laboratory" conditions...he passed all tests no problem. There are some internet sites devoted to his work.
Anyway, my point is that the people who spoke were adamnant that when they "crossed over" at death they were met by their pets! There's a few beautiful accounts of meeting with cats, with the speakers claiming that the cats can actually talk to us on the "other side". Not that I need to hear a cat talk...they all but do that anyway right now.
Incredible? I look forward to finding out!
