Cats from the grave.

I'm a great cat lover and I have had cats most of my adult life. But unfortunately we lost our cats, Jess (18) on 21 st Sep 2005 and Rocks (15) on 15 th June 2007. The funny thing is my cats had a male cat (that we call Pimp) that called every day and was very friendly both Jess and Rocks. When Jess died we buried her in her favourite spot in the garden.Both Rocks and Pimp would lie next to Jesse's grave and look very melancholy. Quite often they would get up and start playing and reacting as they did when Jess was with them, Pimp would even move quickly as if to avoid a swipe off another cat when Rocks was nowhere near him and then he would hiss at thin air.

When Rocks died we buried her in her favourite spot in the garden (under a bush were no-one could see her, her favourite hiding place). I must say at this point, when we buried Jess both Rocks and Pimp were asleep inside the house and we did such a good job on the grave that you couldn't tell were we had buried jess. When we buried Rocks, Pimp was nowhere around and once again the grave site - if you looked for it you wouldn't find it, you couldn't tell that any of the ground had been disturbed. Pimp still comes every day and stays for quite a few hours, he lays in the garden looking straight at the spot were Rocks is buried, he seems very sad and lonely, and he really misses our Rocks.

One of the funny things that our Rocks liked to do was curl up in a plant pot in our little glass green house thing, it was her way of being warm outside in winter. We decided to make this Pimps little pad, we put a mat, a cushion, catnip and his food in there but he will not stay in there, he gingerly creeps in and just snatches a mouth full of food and jumps out again to eat it. We keep saying "Rocks is in there and won't let him in.

On 27 th August 2007 Pimp arrived at about 8pm, as normal looking for food, loves and cuddles and he got all three. The next thing he starts rolling around the floor like he always did when he was after getting up to no-good with our Rocks, it was strange, and both my daughter and I felt like Rocks was there. I got my mobile and started taking photographs of Pimp, I took 5 photographs in about 2 minutes, the first 3 photographs are normal but the 4 th one show something strange, the 5 th photograph is normal. At first I thought Pimp had moved as I took the photograph, and yes he moved his head slightly but I hadn't moved, and as you can see, there is some sort of white mist surrounding him and the flash off my phone is reflected back off the mist so that tells me there was something there even though neither my daughter or myself saw it with our naked eyes.
