My cat Tiger passed away very recently, due to unforseen circumstances...I miss him terribly as he was my 'Baby' for over 8 years..He used to follow me to the shop and he would wait for me to get home from work...Tiger would be forever opening the cupboard door in the kitchen..Now, Im finding this door ajar, every day since he died..Im sure it is him!!! How can I make contact with him, just so I know that he is ok in the Spirit World and that I will ALWAYS have him in my daily thoughts???.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm am going through a tough time right now with my own cat, Tsuki, who's health has been a roller-coaster these past two months and we are just waiting for the other shoe to drop...
You have my sympathy and I think it's beautiful that your friend has given you something to let you know he is still there. My instinct would be to use catnip and a favorite cat toy in a combination guided meditation/crossing-over ritual... and I think he's OK in the spirit world and is using his unique cabinet-door trick to let you know that he's OK and is still by your side in one form or another to comfort you.
Blessings and condolances...

Thank you for those words of comfort..I will use the catnip and toy, although, Im not sure how to do the guided meditation/crossing over ritual??? I thought that Id felt pain before - but it feels nothing, compared to this...However, knowing his cupboard trick, it makes me feel somewhat a little better..towards some kind of recovery!!!
I hope that your cat, Tsuki finds better health..and improves.
Have you ever done anything involving astral projection, shamanic journeys or guided meditations? They're fairly easy to construct. I you find a guided meditation somewhere that has to do with getting int ouch with a spirit guide, it can easily be adapted to getting in touch with passed-on loved-ones, especially pets.
As far as a crossing-over ritual goes... the themes would be saying goodbye and helping your freind move on... actions might include burning a goodbye letter, burying the favorite toy, sharing a special mean in honor of your freind or setting up a miniature shrine in honor of your freind that you can visit every day for a set period of time and then dismantle when you feel the goal has been acomplished... You'll know when that has happened when you feel that your grief is no longer needed by your friend.
And thank you... He has been a wonderful friend.

Thanks for that...I will try the things that you have mentioned..It will have to be the catnip toy, as I dont know where else to find catnip alone..
The only time that I have experienced an 'out of body' experience was when I was 19yrs old...It scared me at the time and I only looked briefly at myself..Im not sure why it happened but it did..
Last year I was visited by a female spirit who gave me messages to give to other people...Included was things that would happen to people BEFOREHAND..and that certain people would say particular words, etc.
All the predictions came true..
Also, I was told that my life would be changed dramatically in a big way, but I wasnt told why!! They say that you cannot predict your own future!! Apart from, I was told that I would be off work for 2 days with an illness (does not happen) and that I would ask for the 3rd day, to be used as a holiday...And true to form - that happened.
I have a two minute memory, so there is NO way that I would have remembered such things, months prior to them happening??
This spirit left me for a few months..but when shes around, I can feel her presence.. Ive tried asking her to reveal herself - but the only thing I got was a name, a town, a date and a reason for her death!!
Im not sure if this is true or just my overactive imagination (Im a writer)..
Are there any classes I could attend, so I can learn 'How' to differentiate the difference between intuition, messages given and that of my 'own' thoughts??
My dog and Tiger were not the best of friends..So, I would usually separate them, if I was to go about my daily life..
This particular day, both the dog and cat had been pestering me all morning..
I left them together for a very short space of time...
Intuition told me to go downstairs to my flat, as I was in my neighbours..
I got down there and it was a bloody mess..My dog had attacked the cat...and that was MY fault and I will have to live with that decision for the rest of my life..
I had to have Tiger put down because of his injuries..even though, the veterinary nurse was SO cold and unfeeling..and said, the dog did a good job?? I intend to begin a legal case against her, if thats possible..
Intuition told me NOT to make this decision..I did not listen properly..
After that, I did not know my dog...She had a taste for blood, her eyes were something I could not recognise...
Suddenly, I was faced with a dog who had become dangerous..and she wanted more..(as mad as it seems) She told me this..
I had another cat and a dog...So, I had to remove the dog from the flat..
I know things are meant to happen for a reason..but it always seems that whenever I get close to someone or something - they are taken away..
Im always trying to learn about myself, etc..but Ive had so much bad luck in the past few months..
I have lost my few long term friends and now this karma has come inside my home to disrupt the harmony - that I CANNOT accept???
But I try to keep strong - I just want Tigers forgiveness..
I wouldn't believe that its exactly your fault. i think you're being too hard on yourself. You could not have predicted what the dog would do.... The dog acted on it's own accord.That sucks though. I'm sorry for that. I have had a cat since i was 12 and he's ten now, i call him my "kitty soulmate" if he died it would be a huge loss to me. Even losing small animals is hard. I think getting rid of the dog was a good choice, either that or work on his aggressiveness and "nip it in the butt". However, i think it would take a lot of work. Since you lost your best friend because of your other pet, though, i could see getting rid of him being the bet choice int his matter. But over all looking at the situation, i do not think your cat blames you for the loss of his life.
You have given me ideas. If you feel bad about it there are probably several types of rituals you can do for your cat. One is a apology ritual. But i really don't think it was something that could be helped, that you're being too hard on yourself, and that your cat is not mad at you imo. You could also do a blessing ritual for its spirit, to help it pass. And maybe, just maybe you might want to banish some negative energy? Like the room he died in, it may be better to bless and purify the area and maybe move some of the furniture around. Salt + water are very good purifying tools.
I would like to do a blessing ritual for his spirit..but I dont know how?? I think that the banishing of negative energy is a very good idea too..as I do feel that the energy DEF needs to change..What do I do with the salt and water?? Forgive me for my naivity -
Ive to go out now, but when I get back, later on this evening - I would like to try the things you have suggested..
Its funny, but I can hear words spoken and I can feel mood vibrations but yet, I cannot see things..Why is that I wonder??
