Is it possible that a cat's spirit will stay in your house after it passes away?  At night I feel a cat jump on my bed and curl up at my feet but there is nothing there.  I think it's my cat and I reach down to pet it and there is no cat on the bed.  This happens several times a week.  I even slept in another bed to see if it would follow me to another room and it did.  I felt it jump up on the bed and walk over to the curve in my leg and lay down.  This has been going on over a year and each time I think it is my cat Oscar, but there is nothing there.  What do you think?

A "Hitch" in Her Get-Along
By: mamanim | 14-08-2007
I have a 10-year-old Chichuahua.  Occasionally (not often) she does something that has me a little worried.  She stands or walks with her rear end and tail cocked over to one side.  This usually happens after she gets up from a nap, so I've wondered if it could be joint problems, such as arthritis.  But once we noticed it right before we discovered that her anal glands were clogged and had to be expressed.  Could this be the culprit, or should we focus on something else?  She doesn't seem to be in pain, and the vet doesn't seem to think it's anything to worry about, but her mama (namely me) can't help being concerned. Please help to ease my mind.
