Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for the kind words, the love and support, and vines... It has meant a lot to me.

I have had a couple of weird things happen in the last couple of days. First, let me back up to Sunday morning before I took Zeus to cross the bridge (tears again). It was so quiet, Zeus didn't feel well, I had made the decision and we were just waiting. I needed some background noise, so I turned on Pandora radio on the iPad - 80's rock radio (I love 80's music, big hair bands, so many good memories). Anyway, I didn't have it on long, it was not comforting the way I thought it would be. I couldn't tell you what song was playing when I stopped it.

Monday night I opened the iPad, and up popped a picture of Eddie Money's album and the title song was "take me home tonight". I didn't have Pandora on, there wasn't any music playing, I had used my iPad between Sunday morning and Monday night, and nothing weird happened. I kept trying to analyze it, was this just a blip or was it Zeus? If it was... What did it mean? Was he not happy where he was, and he wanted to come home to me? I felt horrible. A friend told me that it meant the opposite, she said that he was telling me that he would always be with me. I hope so.

My TV is web enabled, and I often put Pandora radio on while I'm getting dinner ready for Smokey (and doing all Zeus' stuff before). So, I did that again last night. There, saved as one of my favorite channels, right on top of the list, was "take me home tonight" with that same album cover. I know that I did not do that, Eddie Money was never a favorite of mine so I wouldn't have searched for him or for that song... I didn't dislike him or the song, but It wasn't something that I would have searched for. I listened to the channel for a while, and the song played again. Still didn't know what to make of it... I asked Zeus to show me something else.

I asked Zeus to watch over Smokey because she was sad. I also asked him to ask her to eat since she hadn't been eating well, and to help her poo as she hadn't gone since Saturday. Less than a half hour later, she went poo - right on the kitchen floor. She went again later that night in the LB, hooray.

This morning, as usual, I woke up at Zeus' normal meds time, I went back to sleep and when I woke up again I felt little foot prints on the bed. It felt like Zeus was walking around my legs like he used to, and then jumping over my legs, and walking around again. It was so real that I thought it must be Smokey so I opened my eyes. She wasn't even in the bedroom so it wasn't her. :-D

Smokey is not happy, she keeps looking for Zeus and meowing at me. She even lets me pick her up and cuddle her a bit. As for me, I've had good moments and not so good moments. Tonight I loaded the dishwasher and got the soap out from under the sink, that's where I kept the sharps container. I picked it up to dispose of it and broke down. Had to put it back under the sink. Too soon.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Tons of vines to all that need them.

Kathie, it sounds like Zeus is letting you know he'll always be with you and if he's jumping over your legs, he's feeling good. I know it's still hard and you miss him, but I'm glad he let you know he's there. Sending prayers and hugs to you and Smokey. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
(((Kathie)))
Zeus is comforting you, letting you know he's close by.
There will be waves of sadness and joy, sometimes even at the same time.

Take your time.

Sending love and light,
Josie

:YMHUG:
 
Hi Kathie,
Zeus will always be home with you. He will send little messages from time to time and you will think of him and smile. Don't try to over-analyze these messages, just be glad that he is looking out for you and watching over you.
I'm sorry that Smokey isn't eating well, but she is certainly grieving also. Kitties need this process as much as we beans do.

I wish I could say something that would bring comfort to you. I know how hard it is to lose a dear kitty in trying circumstances. But as the days, months, and years go by, your happy memories of your life with Zeus will crowd out the sorrow you feel now.

Thinking of you tonight,

Hugs for you, and scritches for Smokey,

Ella & Rusty
 
(((((Kathie & Smokey)))))
Zeus is there with you and he will always be there with you. He says so in his song, by letting you know he's on the bed, in helping Smokey to poo and leaving it on the kitchen floor (he has a sense of humor) so you'd know he heard you and was helping you. As you talk to him, he's talking to you.
I am sorry for your tears, mine fall for you. Little by little, your heart will remember more the smiles and less the tears.
take comfort in his presence. His love for you is everywhere around you.

Kathie,
Thank you for sharing his visit.
 
Sounds like Zeus is a very strong spirit. I'm sure he's just trying to help you and Smokey through this tough time. ((Kathie))
 
The first thing I thought when I read your post was what Anne said - I think Zeus was telling you he was home (it's my belief that we will all go "home" one day when we leave this temporary place). Now he can watch over you and Smokey until you join him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Smokey.
 
Kathy, you are very lucky to have Zeus love you so much he is making sure you guys are going to be Ok. He is ok and he is home o:-)
He will always be with you ♥ :YMHUG:♥
 
Kathie,
You are Zeus's home and he is with you and he will always with you.
I think he visited you to say not to worry.
Hugs to you....
 
Kathie - Hugs to you! Your post is all so poignant for me, having been through this just such a short time ago. I know on the moments: there are good ones, some not so good. Through it all shines the memories of what was, what will continue to linger on, and thrive, in your heart. He will never be far away. I view the songs, and the paw prints as signs. He is safe, well, at peace, and wants you to know all is well. What a unique choice of music, odd enough, yet so personal that one knows it is from Zeus. Take comfort in his presence, he is truly home now.

Hugs to all! It does get better, easier as time goes by.They all are forever in our hearts.
 
Kathie, *HUGS* I think Zeus is just trying to send you a sign that hes okay - and he will always be with you. He is watching over you and smokey. Sending prayers for comfort for you, and prayers for smokeys appy.


I really want to apologize for not posting on Zeus's condo. I want you to know though, I had been following the posts and reading your condo. Even though I wasnt posting you guys were in my prayers. When I read your posts the past few days, they brought lots of tears. Zeus really was a wonderful kitty, he was so lucky to have you as his bean. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
 
((((Kathie))))

I am glad you are letting your mind and heart to be open to see those signs. Sometimes our grief is so great, as yours is, that we can't listen or let ourselves sense what they are trying to tell us. Our animal communicator told me that cats, more than any other companion species, tend to "stay" in this dimension with their caregiver longer to offer comfort.

I know you long to hold him but its ok to imagine that he is there in your arms and you can feel him.
 
There are so many souls out here mourning with you over Zeus. I cried as I read this and yet was comforted knowing he is still there checking in to let you know he is finally free and heading home. I pray that you find your inner peace with his passing and can start to focus on all the good memories you have of him. Big Hug...
 
He will always be with you cat_pet_icon

(((Kathie))) I'm just catching up on everyone. Your condo is so special. That is Zeus wanting to comfort you and Smokie. You and Zeus had an incredible bond. Keep watching for those signs. I had chills when you talked about feeling little footprints on the bed.
Lots of hugs and love to you and Smokie.
 
Oh ((((Kathie)))), I hate to start my morning off crying, but it seems I do that a lot lately. I love the signs he is sending you! My heart breaks for you and Smokey. Zeus is in a wonderful place. He watches over you and Smokey and know one day you will all be together. It is hardest on the ones left behind. One day, you will think of him, and more smiles than tears will come. Not sure when, but one day.

Take care of yourself,

Jane
 
I, too, believe Zeus is telling you that all is well...he's healed and whole....watching over you and Smokey giving you signs to guide you two through your grief.

Sending you lots of hugs.
 
(((((Kathie)))))
I would keep that song on your ipad. I think it's a gift from Zeus.
And, that was him visiting you and walking on your bed.
