I am an animal lover, a huge animal lover. Growing up I was that child who would always bring home the stray dog or cat and give them a good home. Growing up we were surrounded by animals and I experienced their lives, the joys they brought and also the sadness of their deaths. None of their deaths affected me as much as the recent death of my cat Vepar on July 17th 2012.
My husband and I got Vepar on Yule 2005. She was such a sweet kitten and there was just something about her. Both my husband and I fell in love with her instantly. She had the most amazing eyes I have ever seen. My husband took to her the most, she was always cuddling with him on his lap or when he slept. They were very close. Over the years we got to know her and have such fond memories of her. She was quite the character, if any of us were feeling down or sad she was there in our laps purring. A cats purr is actually a healing vibration, so when one is sad or not well the soothing sound of a cats purr can help.
Anyway, I could go on forever about her life stories and how her energy enhanced our home. There was just something about her. So naturally we were devastated when she snuck out one night and was struck by a car (she was an indoor cat, she didn’t really like to go outside unless we were out in the garden, she liked to be where we were). We rushed her to the Vet but she died 20 minutes after arrival. Upon arriving at the vet my husband and I went in with her I was channeling healing energy into her head as that was where I felt she needed it most.
I focused as hard as I could and channeled Marbas, who I have called upon in the past for healing, to help. I channeled Healing energy through my hands and I remember connected with her. It was very powerful and then it happened. I felt the peace followed by an intense light. It was the moment she had passed. The Vet confirmed it, but I knew. She had been hurt in such a way that she did not feel any pain, she was to deep in shock, for that I am grateful. I had the Vet prepare her to be cremated and returned to us.
Distraught, we went home in a dazed state. Later that night we were just sitting when a message came through so clear to both of us and the house filled with amazing energy. We both felt it, but my husband was the first to speak which was quite interesting as I am the one who usually has the spiritual experiences. My husband is open to my path but he seldom gets the messages or visions that I do.
He said ” I just felt that it was her time to leave, she had to, and she choose that death so that it would be quick and we would both be there for her.”
I had received the same message. I then put my husband into a trance and channeled the rest of the message through him. It turns out she was one of his animal spirit guides, who saw that he was struggling spiritually and came to him as a cat to watch him and eventually return to the spirit world with the knowledge to help him (which explains why they were so close). The channeling was one of the most powerful I have ever done on another person as the energy that filled the house was phenomenal. She asked us not to mourn her but to live fully with the gifts she would give us. What has happened in the days since has been amazing.
My husband was spiritually opened up and he now gets answers to questions, has visions an insights that help him in his everyday life and in his business and he has newly awakened spiritual abilities that he has never had before. The experience opened him up spiritually and allowed him to access his own inner spiritual gifts.
Over the next few days we have both had dreams with her. My husband had a very significant dream where she was guiding him along a path revealing different steps he had to take. I have seen her essence wandering through the house, as has our dog, who was also deeply saddened by her passing as she and him were very good friends. He sometimes barks at walls when there is nothing there and chases things most cannot see, I see what he is barking at and chasing. It has been a life altering experience for my husband, and another level of spiritual growth for me. Though we do miss our cat, we know that she made the choice and it was meant to be this way.
Sometimes when you ask for help your spiritual guides will answer your calls. Sometimes they will do it in ways that you do not understand. It is important to keep going in the direction you want and remember that when you are spiritually connected, and even if you are not, there are powerful forces out there working to help you and aid you in your journey. It is important to honour and hold gratitude for those forces and trust them and have faith in the unseen.
Rest in Peace Sacred Kitty. I know you are watching us and helping us from the spirit world.
To those of you reading this who are overcome with grief over losing a beloved pet. I understand, it is hard but remember, animals have souls like we do and sometimes they come into our lives with a purpose, a purpose we do not always understand. There have been lots of stories of people on their death bed or having near death experiences being visited by deceased pets, Death is not the end, it is only the end of this physical experience and that is what is hard, we are still here and they have moved on. It is not permanent, nothing is. The spiritual world is a beautiful place, and they have returned to that beautiful place.
When losing a friend, lover, animal who you have a soul connection to it can be harder as the connection to this entity transcends the physical and is deeper so the loss is felt at a deeper level and it can hurt. With that hurt take comfort in the fact that you will see them again because of that soul connection. Remember the good times, the fond memories, and know that they are still there in spirit.
Akelta
