Less than 36 hours after Samson died, my 15 year old cat Daphne joined him.
I don't know what the truth is of life after death, but I choose to picture them young and happy and well again, curled in the sun sleeping and sniffing heavenly fields of catnip, with angels to serve as their devoted servants until I can get there to resume my duties, and Daphne's first dad, my friend Mark, happily reunited with her at last. I promised him when he was dying that I would always take care of her, and I did.
However wonderful where they are might be, things here are sadder than I can bear. A house without cats, for the first time since I was born.
Your 2 posts of Daphne and Samson brought tears to my eyes. Perhaps Daphne sensed that her good friend was gone and she wanted to be with him. I choose to believe the same as you do of the afterlife and I bet your friend Mark has both Daphne and Samson curled up in his lap, all 3 enjoying paradise together. My heart goes out to you for your loss(es).

I am sooo sorry to hear about your two precious babies and dear friend passing away. How hard it is to deal with one loss, let alone three. I am sure they were meant to be together...As you will be with them again one day yourself. Sometimes I believe that our most beloved companions deal with a loss even harder than we do. Daphne, Samson, and Mark are all very special angels....Leslie

I really feel for you with the lost of your cats. We too lost both of our cats one last year and one this past March. Our house too has not been the same since. Be happy that Daphne is now with Samson and they'll be always with you in spirits.
