When we were learning Reiki, the teacher had a cat to loved nothing more than climbing up and kneading people--was definitely performing Reiki. This dear cat is still doing Reiki at 20 years old.

But not very much. But you do know that our mutual friend Cherie has 9 cats - several outside only and one family of 6 or 7(I forget which, but it's a mom cat and her litter before the operation). They all are quite nice ones. Cherie would never have taken in the mom cat if the pregnancy were known, however... Then the outside cats just kept showing up and needed to be fed, so there is now a baseball team of felines. It's a good thing she has a large shaded yard, porches and many rooms for the cats to find solitude. I never see them fight and they all have different, very distinct personalities. And Cherie knows just who likes what for dinner! Gloria, I do remember Morris. But not very much.

With you he had a triple mission: to remove fear and to heal, but he did even more. He very cleverly got you to extend his love to many. Morris is one of your many helpers. For Morris to complete his mission he needed just that one last night with you. His solution was to stay near Lauren, knowing she would extend his love and healing energy to you, knowing this last night, in its finality, would stir your heart in surges of love beyond measure and knowing you would share that love and keep it moving forward in waves around the world. Now we all love Morris. (And Teeny and Jack and Sunshine and Ginger). Morris was sent to you in love, to love you, and through you his sweet noble spirit has touched us all and warmed and expanded our hearts.

I would assume it has to do with sound as a physical vibration of matter, something like the Tibetan singing bowls. The healing may extend beyond that of bones for all I know, perhaps even as far as the soul. In any case purring is certainly a rather strange phenomenon, and my relation to cats is entirely different when I remember what purring does. We had an old cat named George who looked just like Morris. The day he died, when we knew it was a matter of hours and he could barely stand, he climbed up on the couch with my wife and purred loudly as she petted him.

Her main concern was her 3 cats. The neighbour who fed the cats only noticed 2 cats occasionally. When she was brought back home her first concern was "where are my cats" She still was in tremendous pain but she kept calling them by name and they came slowly looking at her like "where the heck have you been" after a while they became conscious that Liz could only walk with a frame and was in great pain they forgave her and starting fighting who could cuddle her closest.

How did you find this blog? Did Lauren tell you? Your mom perhaps? Bev, where is your comment! Kelly, I am so happy to hear from you, though I'm sure I just said that I'm afraid of cats! :) I know someone whose cat was in the wall during remodeling and got all sheet-rocked and plastered in! Of course, they knocked down the wall to rescue the cat. Did you read the two recent entries about Teeny-Weeny? You do remember Teeny-Weeny, don't you? Computer Intrigue is the name of one entry. The other is the Real Teeny-Weeny. Is this the beautiful Kelly I know? How did you find this blog? Did Lauren tell you? Your mom perhaps? Bev, where is your comment!

I remember how suspicious you were of all cats. You told me cats were sneaky and not trustworthy. He had his work cut out for him. :-) Then came Morris, and the ensuing cat parade. Cats are tuned in to the unseen world, and they have tasks we can't understand. It must be the same for them; humans must seem so odd at times. Nice, and needy, and just plain weird. How can they eat that stuff? Why do they like that noise, and so loud?!? A friend of mine was talking about her cat, her first foray into the Feline. (A former Dog Person.) She said she thought her cat might be a healer, and had I ever heard of that. I said the only cat who isn't a healer is one with a big grudge! Even then, they get over it. I remember Morris!

This is such a beautiful, touching story. I sometimes get a little impatient with my angel Felix, but to think he might not come home again one day and our last encounter might have been one of less than total appreciation --- no, I won't even think of it. What makes this thought so sad, I feel, is that some of our most meaninful human relationships end without reaching this stage of disarmed and smiling appreciation. Ah, cats!
