Why do other pets show similar habits as those who passed?

Does a cat spirit possess another cat?

Sometimes you'll see other pets take on some of the same habits as your pets that passed. Is that because they're taking over them? Or have they been reincarnated?

Here's an email asking a similar question, and my answer:

QUESTION:  My amazing cat PSYCHPUFF died a few years ago and appears to be, on and off, inhabiting the body of another white cat that now belongs to a person that she had had a very close relationship to. This cat then behaves EXACTLY like PSYCHOPUFF used to behave, specific tricks and behaviours. Have you come across this ever?

ANSWER:   Yes, I've encountered that before. What's happening is that Psychpuff (cute name!) is not inhabiting the body of the other cat, but has been teaching the other cat to do some of the same things that Psychpuff did.   The reason why is because Psychpuff wants you to know that she's still around you. By "training" the other cat to have similar habits that she had, you now know that Psychpuff is very much alive and well in the afterlife.

Spirit Messages from Little Betty Sue the Dachshund

 In October,  I received an email from Erin who was dealing with the grief of losing her precious Dachshund Betty Sue. Betty Sue provided me with some signs that she's around her mom today in spirit. Pets will often convey things to me that they experienced in their daily lives, just as people in spirit do.  

  When people send me photos and the name of their pets, and any question they want to know, I usually can connect with them. Spirits share information about their lives and habits that only they and their pet parents know- it's different for every one of them- and that's how they confirm their identity. 

   When I saw Betty Sue's photos, they brought tears of love to my eyes. She has such a deep love for her mom and dad from spirit. 

   Erin graciously allowed me to share this blog post so that others would have an idea of how their dogs and cats can also communicate.  -Rob

EMAIL FROM ERIN ABOUT BETTY SUE THE DACHSHUND

Hi. I am almost finished reading your book Pets & the Afterlife. I just lost my little dachshund, Betty Sue, about 2 weeks ago & am having a very hard time. She was my best friend for over 15 years & saw every important day in my life. I am still feeling extremely guilty over the decision to put her to sleep. Can you let me know if she has any messages for me? I have already found a lot of comfort in the words from your book & look for signs everywhere now that she is still with me. Thank you in advance.

MESSAGES I RECEIVED FROM BETTY SUE:

I told Erin "I can sense the fiesty-ness in her and the intense love she shares with you. She's showing me that she followed you everywhere. She still does!

   The main thing is to not feel guilt about helping her pass. She was ready. She's telling me that she let you know because she wasn't eating... is that right?  As a Dachshund dad, I know that there's nothing that keeps a Dachshund from their food... but that was a sign from her.

  I  mentioned that Betty Sue will show up from time to time, in things that remind Erin of her, or Erin may hear her (like a faint bark)... or those cute little feet/nails running across the floor."

 CONFIRMATION FROM ERIN:

You are 100% right. Betty Sue fought kidney failure for 13 months. I gave her fluids twice a week since the day she was diagnosed. She had recently started losing weight rapidly & lost a pound & a half in just 2 months, which is a huge amount considering she was only 8 pounds to start with. She refused to eat the last 2 days of her life.

     I heard a faint bark during the night, the same day that she was put to sleep. Our other dog growled all night long that night which was very unusual. The next morning I found a big pink flower with a yellow butterfly sleeping in it.   I felt like that was kind of a sign.

   Then I downloaded your book & was shocked to read the similarities between your dachshund's last days compared to Betty's: the similarities were almost identical! Then I saw the pic of the little black dachshund in your book & thought that was another sign! Of course then I read the rest of your book about all of the signs that spirits send to us to let us know they are still around. I couldn't believe how many signs I had seen!

  

  Erin also confirmed that Betty Sue was fiesty and called her "Sassy!" 

FOLLOW UP SIGN FROM SPIRIT - Spirits can also make things happen to help us - including making a photo that we're searching for appear in front of us! This email from Erin on Oct. 27 gave another proof that Betty Sue is around her:

Erin said "I've included yet another picture of Betty Sue. I looked everywhere for this picture a few days ago but couldn't find it. Today it popped up in 'Memories' on Facebook. It's a picture of Betty Sue with her head hanging out of the window of our truck, ears flapping in the wind, while we're 4-wheeling on the beach at the Outer Banks. We try to go there every year on vacation & she went every time. She just loved going to the beach & digging in the sand. I'll always miss her sassy self."

Spirit Dog's "Yellow Duck" Message

Little playing with her yellow toy

Dogs provide images, barks, noises, and so many other signs to let us know they're still around us. In early December I received an email message from Wendy about her dog "Little." She wanted to know if Little was okay and still around. That's when Little confirmed she was by showing me one of her favorite toys.

WENDY'S NOTE

Little's Duck toy!

Wendy said, "She was diagnosed 11-17 with Lymphoma & we let her go 12-2. Devastating to say the least. I could go on & on...she was cremated, and vet staff made paw print molds. We had her euthanized at home."

LITTLE GIVES ME A SIGN

I wrote Wendy and told her that " Little is showing me a yellow toy ... it looks almost like a ball, but could even be a yellow Duck. Do you have a little yellow duck, or a yellow ball in the house? She tells me that she was fixated on it (it may not be a toy - it may be something you had , like the yellow ducks in the bathroom). - anyway, she's going to be around and give you signs.

WENDY'S CONFIRMATION

Wendy sent a photo of Little's Toy Basket and in the basket was a squeaky yellow Duck!

She said "I think u just made my boyfriend Jeff (of 14yrs)--a believer. Thank u! U made our day! And many days 2 come.   Now when that toy turns up mysteriously, we'll probably Keel over!"

Blade the Dog Sends a Special Coin and Gives me a "Left-sided" message

Recently I received an email from a woman named Elizabeth whose dog Blade had passed. She wrote

Blade's Special Coin

 me asking about a special coin that she found and wanted to know what it meant.
  SPIRITS SEND US COINS - Spirits often send us coins after they pass as a way of confirming they are fine on the other side, and still around us from time to time. Moving a coin or anything from someplace to right in front of us is called an apport- and it takes a lot of energy. When you find a coin, check the YEAR, because it could indicate which spirit is thinking of you. My dad often sends coins dated 2008, the year he passed. My mom and our dog Sprite sends coins dated 2013, the year that they both passed. Usually I find the coins whenever I happen to be thinking of them. That means they are around when I think of them, and they send a coin as confirmation.
   ELIZABETH'S SPECIAL COIN FROM BLADE - Elizabeth wrote: Blade was 16 years old. His name is Blade.  His was mostly blonde with some white on his chest and toes.
  We had him since he was 4 months old. My husband and I miss him so much! I found a guardian angel coin the week after he died. It was strange how I found it. I was pacing on the sidewalk here at work and on my way back into the building I saw it right in front of my feet! When I came into the building I looked it up and the internet told me the coin was called a : Guardian Angel Coin. I have never seen those before in my life. I felt that Blade dropped it for me. Can you verify this??
   MY RESPONSE  - THE COIN AND A LEFT-SIDED MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM BLADE

Blade

The Guardian Angel Coin was a sign from Blade. It takes a lot of energy to do move something from one place to another -that's called an "Apport." The energy that Blade required was drawn from the positive energy of your love. Spirits often do that with monetary coins - usually the year indicates who it is that is giving you a message (based on birth dates, dates of passing, anniversaries, adoption years, etc).    So that special coin really is  fantastic.  
  Blade gave me a couple of other signs I provided Elizabeth - and the next one confirmed they were from him:)
  Blade wants you to put that coin in the car, so he'll continue to "ride with you!" He's giving a happy grin with his tongue hanging to one side (left side) - I'm unsure if he used to do that, but it's definitely on his left side. Did he also look at you from the left side of his face? I keep seeing the left side of his face, looking at you both.

  ELIZABETH'S CONFIRMATION! -
  The left side of his face thing threw me off at first but then I started thinking about his right eye and how it had a growth in the lid and how it was difficult for him to see through his right eye.  So, from his perspective he probably was always looking at us from the left! So, yes that makes total sense to me now.
