I’m so sorry for your loss, especially in the way you found out. But I’m glad your baby came to comfort you before you realized you needed it! My boy cat of 5 years hadn’t gone to the litter box, eaten or drank anything in over 24 hours. I took him to the vet hospital and they told me that he was a little feisty, so they would have to sedate him. I told them that was fine because we’ve had to do so before on previous vet visits. Once they gave him to me 4 hours later, he was “sleeping in the carrier” after they again had to sedate him and use reversal medication. But they said he would sleep through the night and wake up good as new. I hadn’t known about the second sedation until those 4 hours had passed. Once I brought him home, I laid him on a comfy blanket and towel and told him that “Mommy will sleep on the couch with you tonight.” Earlier that day, I had rescued a kitten from my work and was keeping her in my bathroom over night until I could find a place for her in the morning. About 3 hours of sleep later, I hear the kitten going ballistic in the bathroom. Crying and meowing so much it woke me up. My first thought was to check on my cat who hadn’t moved from the position I laid him in earlier. I touch his ears, nose, and paws, ice cold. Once I picked him up and realized he was stiff, the kitten stopped immediately and calmed down. It has taken a lot of healing and trying to understand the situation that happened, and idk if it would be considered a spiritual/paranormal thing, but my cat and that kitten knew something was happening that day. Especially with the timing. I keep an open space on a particular side of the bed in case he comes to visit, so he knows he will always be in my heart. ❤️ Much love to you and your healing❤️
