We had a black cat called Misty since she was a kitten who had the most beautiful green eyes, just like crystals. Being a very gentle cat, she loved to be inside the house most of the time and was allowed to lay anywhere she liked, but our bed was her choice at night time. We also had a ‘cat flap’ fitted to our front door so it was easy for her to come and go whenever she wanted.
By the time she was eighteen, it was obvious that her health was failing as her coat had gone brown and her beautiful green eyes had dimmed. So I had a talk to her about being with her when she passed, if that is what she wanted of course. I had been attuned to Reiki by this time and I knew how much animals responded to the loving energy.
This particular day, I had a friend visiting when Bill told me that Misty had come inside, she had been staying outside a lot, and it looked like it was her time to leave this earth plane. I sat on the floor and gave her Reiki healing until she passed. I believe she had understood what I’d said to her, and she wanted me to be with her at her time of passing. It was such a peaceful and beautiful time. We laid her in a box with one of my beautifully scented red roses inside, and buried her in our garden. I lit candle and placed it on top of her grave and we said our goodbyes.
I always wondered about her green eyes, and some months later, she came to me in a dream and her eyes were the beautiful bright green that they were when she was alive, and her fur was black and shiny once again. So this confirmed to me what I’ve read many times that once we’ve passed over to the other side, we revert back to how we looked at our happiest. And Misty was letting me know that she was healthy and happy again. How comforting!
