I saw something I felt was spiritual on Wednesday night when my sweet Sara passed. She has been in poor health for the last several weeks, diagnosed with a failing kidney, and I was having to feed her with a syringe the last few days.

Sara has a twin brother, also siamese in appearance, that I rescued at the same time. I called them my siamese twins. But Sam usually lived up on the second floor, unless he came down to eat, or the weather was cold and he wanted to snuggle her. Sarah lived downstairs, and only went upstairs when I did.

So Wednesday night, just before bedtime, I fed Sarah with the syringe, and then laid her over on the couch on her favorite blanket and kitty pillow like every night recently. However this time, I noticed something wasn’t quite right with her. Her back legs were sort of locking up. I started petting her little head, and asking baby are you all right?

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, here comes Sam flying in the room. Hadn’t seen him all day. He looks at her and meows. She’s unable to move her head much but still there with us, I can see it in her eyes. Then he looks at me and meows. Then he just looks back at her. I patted him on the head, before giving my attention back to her. At that exact moment, the life starts going from her eyes, slowly.

Obviously a lot was going on for me at that exact moment, but it didn’t take long for me to feel like a spiritual connection had somehow been made between the two, so that he could be there for them to say their goodbyes in that brief moment. I don’t know how else to explain it, because there I wasn’t doing anything to attract his attention, and he had actually been keeping his distance from her since she started getting sick.

Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I don’t believe it was. I felt their love, and our love, and it made her passing something I will never forget. I’ve had other religious experiences and this one had a similar feel.
