This is so weird.
It doesn't happen every night, but at least twice a week. I go to bed, and as soon as I turn the light out and start to fall asleep, but am still somewhat awake, I seem to feel "something" jump up on the bed and walk over to me. At first, I think it's Sandy, so I either sit up and turn the light back on, or I just look over and either Sandy is lying right next to me or somewhere on the bed, or hasn't come to bed yet.
Sometimes, but not very often anymore, when I sleep over at my mom's house, I used to feel a cat jump up on the bed (but my mom doesn't have a cat. .. yet) and I just laughed and thought I was so used to one (or both) cats jumping on my bed to "kiss me/knead me goodnight", but that doesn't happen anymore. Although the first time that ever happened was when I was in the hospital for my gallbladder operation. . .but then, I was on painkillers, an IV, and I had been up for at least 20 hours!
After Squeakers left for the bridge, I had Sandy with me. She always sleeps with me. .. . Squeakers, not that much since Sandy came. So I hadn't felt any "ghost cat walking" until about a month ago.
I wonder if Squeakers is trying to tell me something. . or is just trying to tuck me in! MOL!
Or. .. maybe it's not Squeakers at all. .. maybe I'm just a crazy cat lady needing more sleep!
I never told anyone. . .and who knows, maybe Squeakers wants me to keep her secret. Besides, I know if I told my mom or my friend Jen, they'd both roll their eyes like I was some kind of nut.
Maybe I am.
Though I have read things about telepathy, even from beyond "The Bridge" and believe it is possible. Especially since I did experience a telepathic connection between me and my sweet Squeakers about two months after she left me. She showed me that she was okay, I even saw her with a friend, a sad dog that she was keeping company with. I know that she misses me even more than I miss her, but that she's okday. . and so am I.
When Sandy choses to leave this Earth. . I will be devastated, but I think I will be able to connect with her too.
On one of her earlier diary entries, about her waking me up by walking on me, Squeakers once said:
"These paws were made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
Every morning these paws
Are gonna walk all over you!"
I finally heard from Leo, after months! *flaps wings* He sent me a star and roses! Thank you soooo much Leo! I miss you so incredibly much!
I'm glad he sent me those, because then I went on his page to see if he'd added a diary entry or. . .anything, but his Christmas pics are still up. But I saw a birthday cake rosie on his page and OOPS!! That's what I get for counting on Mommy's memory! His birthday was yesterday! So I gave him a rosie too, and begging him to come back, also wishing him a happy belated birthday.
He's probably celebrating all week anyway! Happy Birthday Leo! MWAH!
From Squeakers: (whatever she says, I have an allibi!)
My Mommy went totally paw-crazy!
She thinks our pawprints are so adorable. . .yeah. . .whatever! Feet are feet, I always thought her feet were purrty scary-looking! Maybe that's why she thinks our paws are so cute?
Anyway, when I left for the Bridge, the lady gave Mommy my pawprints. . .she loved them, as soon as she baked them. Every so often she runs her fingers over my last "Paw and Testament". She used to tickle my paws. .. humans don't realize it, when they touch our paws, it tickles!
Sandy doesn't mind it too much, she just moves her paws and tail, but not out of the line of fire. I used to try to bite her to keep her paws off MY paws!
She just got some paws in the mail today. Oh she said she ordered them from the Animal Rescue Store. .. but I helped her get there just so I could send her some of my paws (Scooter & Munchie's too) She got a purple paw charm that says "Love Me, Love My Cat" and a couple paw rings and a little paw charm. . .special delivery from me, Scooter & Munchkin (with the label "the Animal Rescue Store" so it would be legit) and in return she got our paws, plus she said with that she got to give 56.0 bowls of food.
Sure. . .whatever.
Part of it is so she will leave Sandy's paws alone! Purrsonally I don't care about Sandy's paws. .. but the Bridge Kittens feel bad for the Sandmeister with her dainty witto. .. uh, dainty little paws. . .
Yeah. .. whatever.
*looks at paws* Yeah. . .I guess they're kinda cute. At least they're white, not gray and brown like Sandy's.
