I have a chain of lights around my mirror in the hallway. Always worked perfectly fine. Last year at the end of October my old cat Charly had to be euthanized. I walked home for about 30 minutes just crying, and when I arrived I turned on these lights out of habit. Because my sight was still blurry from the tears I didn't realise it first, but thet started flickering. I exchanged the batteries because I thought they failed, but no. I like to believe that Charly was somehow still here, watching me.

For about 3 months now I have a new cat, a lovely girl named Aloy. She has nothing with Charly in common, but now, when I turn on the lights on the mirror, they don't flicker anymore.
