When my mother was placed in a hospice after a severe stroke. We took her cat to go visit her. My mother's cat knew something was wrong. Even though my mother was unconscious, we wanted her to know that her cat will be taken care of and a chance for her to feel her cat one more time.
My mother did passed away but she got a chance to feel (she never regained consciousness)her cat purring and licking her face one more time.
My mother's cat did go through some emotional feelings because he would spend most of his days in my mothers bedroom. But just like humans, they do get over it and move on. My brother and neice now take care of my mother's cat getting on their nerves now.
Rest in Peace Mom
I love you! |
