Some of you already know this because you are on my e-mail distribution list. However, yesterday, September 18, 2007 we had to pur our cat, Molly, to sleep.

It was rather sudden. She got sick about four days ago and just deteriorated rapidly over the course of three days.

However, as a good friend told me last night, life is cyclical and if we loved her, we might be reunited with her later on. I've been thinking about a pet's afterlife and wondering what precisely happens.

Jackie (for those of you who don't know, Jackie is my wife) had Molly for about ten years. We were with Molly when she passed beyond the veil of this corporeal world.

Jackie had asked if her soul moved on. I didn't see any movement when I was in the examining room (after the medication had done its job), but Jackie said she could've sworn she saw Molly's head pop up. However, when Jackie looked back at her, she was completely still.

Is it possible the cat's soul moved on? Comment if you wish.
