I am feeling your grief with you. Our older cat literally passed away as I sat with him, just minutes ago. We love them so much! And will miss them dearly. And maybe some day we will come across a kitten or cat we don't know in body, but recognize in spirit. I had this happen with a favorite feline once many years ago.

Last year when my 95 year old mom passed, I was by her bedside and smelled a familiar scent I couldn't place. After a moment I recognized it as my dad's aftershave, which I hadn't smelled in decades! As soon as I realized what it was, it faded away and I knew they were together again. I will definitely be paying attention for awhile to see if our cat buddy gifts us with a communication or a synchronicity.
Wow, Donna! First of all, I'm so sorry for your kitty's passing..... we made a point to keep speaking to Tibby because the last thing to go when one dies is the hearing... and that takes about 10 minutes. They can hear us after they pass. Now, as far as your mother and father's cologne! Wow! I just read your story to my partner and she got chills. She smells toast all the time, something her mother loved..... amazing story. Thank you for sharing yours! And I send you much love!
I'd never heard that about the hearing lasting 10 minutes after death... now I feel a lot better about my partner (who had a really hard time with Nandi's final hours) coming back into the room at the very end, then staying and talking to him for several minutes after he stopped breathing. Thank you so much for sharing that!
That's so cool that your partner's mom makes herself known by the smell of toast! Since my cologne incident I now pay more attention when I notice a scent or odor that seems out of place, which happens to me every so often, and think about what it may be trying to tell me. I used to just think something was wrong with my olfactory wiring when that happened, but now I take heed!
