If you know the magic of cats as you do, and you saw the dramatic change after introducing fluids, you'd know why I'm feeling good that I have been giving Kitty a reprieve.
I just read François' remarks on death and immortality and while I think we eventually have to come to grips with life and death, that as long as our loved ones show some will to live that we should encourage them.
Once gone, the fact that our loved ones still live in our hearts and minds is convincing evidence to me that one still has a physical presence after death if only in the brain chemistries of the living. And some might say that narrows things to a sort of "electromagnetic chauvinism." Those who remember previous incarnations and the 49days in the bardo after death may know more than the rest of us.
There has been some debate recently about where to draw the line when one arrives at the border of the afterlife.
I'm glad Kitty is still showing me she has a raison d'etre. I like waking up to find her looking at me for continued hope and the reward of waking up to another day among the living.
Here's to cats. Thanks, Inda for the post and the cool link.
Nick and Kitty
