Creative Speculation
In reply to the discussion: Have you ever had a NDE (near death experience)? [View all]
For me to try to describe those sensations would be like trying to describe color to somebody who's been blind from birth, but, well, there were components to that cat's consciousness that you would expect a cat to have. For example, I read somewhere once about cats that the author was claiming that even the tamest domestic house cat is "always stalking the jungle's edge" and that predatory, feral nature was definitely there.
This is so interesting!!!
I can appreciate how there are no words to describe much of what you experienced. I have had many experiences myself where I think if I talked or wrote for days I would still not be able to communicate all that I understood from just a very brief part of my experience.
I think that author might have a point about the domestic house cat always stalking the jungle's edge. I live on a property where it's safe to let a cat be indoor/outdoor, and I once had one that went in and out. I noticed that when this cat spent a lot of time outdoors, she would exhibit feral behaviors for a time when she came back indoors. It would take a while to get her to come back around to being a housecat. She had been adopted at 8 weeks with no outdoor time in her young life.
On the other hand, and this is really far out there but then this forum is "creative speculation"... I have communicated with every cat of mine who has crossed over. This is a lot of communication, because it wasn't just my cats, also the cats and dogs of my friends and relatives.
Two, maybe three of the communications, lead me to believe that when cats get on the other side, they are able to communicate at our level of intelligence. (Or better, as you will see from my story which follows about the Photoshop.) In one case I had a cat tell me (right after she crossed over) that she wouldn't be visiting me much because she and I had had many lifetimes together and I knew the score. She said it takes a lot of energy to manifest and I should just understand that.
However, she did manifest to me once after that and it was to express a funny line that I used to say to her. It was so supremely witty that I laughed for days.
In another situation, I used to play around with Photoshop and I would take a pic of my face and my cat's face and put one on top of the other. Then I would put her on my lap and show her my work, pointing out her face and my face. I know that sounds nuts but people do crazy things with their animals. I never dreamed there would be a time when she would later make a reference to this practice, let alone make that reference after died.
After this cat crossed over, she came through in a photograph where she had done an even better Photoshop job than I had. As I looked at the photo, I could see the bottom half of her face was mine and the top was her face. Her "Photoshop" was better than mine because the two faces were melded, where mine was my face and then her face on top of my hair.
I was so stunned when I realized this that I went through every picture I had of myself, wondering where this lower half of my face had come from. I don't take many photographs, so there wasn't much to look for. There was no photo on my computer that had this particular smile in it.
So where did it come from?
Furthermore, in that picture my cat was accompanied by another, larger cat. This cat was about five times the size of my cat and had glowing gold eyes. All this happened years ago, like over a decade ago. I have always wondered about the larger cat. Who was it? Did it help my cat to manifest to me in the photograph?
Interestingly enough, last month or so I was looking at the magazine Fortean Times, and they had a cover story on such a black cat! The cat is described in the article as having glowing, gold eyes.
