By far, felines are the most mysterious creatures on Earth. They amaze with their grace and charisma, sharpness of mind and affection for a person. To answer the question: "Do cats have a soul?", You first need to briefly define the term "soul". In simple terms, the soul is a set of certain characteristics: preferences, attachment to some people, and hatred of others, individual character traits. Cats bark all these characteristics. Accordingly, if a person has a soul, cats also have it.
It is no coincidence that these animals, which understand human speech, experience emotions, have an individual character, were deified in many religions. So, the ancient Egyptians buried cats with honors in a special cemetery. The bodies were mummified so that after death they could gain eternal life.
Heaven and hell for feline souls
Many people think that if cats have souls, they, like the souls of people, should go to heaven or hell. And, nevertheless, this assumption should be rejected immediately. Judge for yourself, these animals are not capable of such atrocities that humans are capable of. On the other hand, cats do not know how to do good deeds.
What happens to the souls of cats after death?
In 1986, a student of mine announced that there was a ghost cat in their town. It was about the Scottish town of Dunfermline, they saw a cat on the territory of the old abbey near the cemetery. The girl said that together with her friend she was walking around the abbey, where they saw a snow-white cat, he was resting on a bench with an important look. The girlfriends wanted to pet him, but as soon as they got closer, the animal simply evaporated. The girls became interested, and the next day they went there again - everything was repeated one to one.

I was not lazy, and went there. Everything happened exactly as the student told me. Interestingly, the locals knew about that cat. The story was as follows.
The superintendent of the abbey loved this cat for many years, looked after him. And one day the cat disappeared. The woman was looking for her beloved cat for a long time, but then decided that the search was useless and most likely he was already dead. One day she heard a slight scratching at the door. The woman was delighted, opened the door, on the threshold she saw her beloved animal, but the cat disappeared into the air at the same moment. This cat was seen in various places throughout the year, but most often on a bench in the old abbey. And then the ghost disappeared, the cat was forgotten.
This case could not but interest me. Since then, I have interviewed hundreds of cat-lovers and have come to certain conclusions. My main conclusion is that cats have a soul. The souls of those animals that were especially emotional during their lifetime appear in the form of ghosts. For 9-12 months, the souls of animals live near their owners, and then disappear. Where? But I cannot answer this question. However, I believe in reincarnation.
Cases that people have encountered the souls of deceased pets are not uncommon. Such messages appear with enviable regularity.
Death of a beloved cat. Dasha M. Novosibirsk
I had a cat. Once I needed to visit relatives in the village for a few days. For this time, I left my favorite with the neighbors. In the village with relatives, during lunch I suddenly felt a cat rubbing against my legs under the table. But there were no cats in that house! A few hours later, a neighbor from the city called me. She told me the tragic news: my cat somehow ran away from their apartment and got run over by a car.
The ghost cat. Yuri M. Kiev
In 2014, my cat Nika (completely black) died at the age of 14. I decided not to bury her, but to give her up for cremation. It is impossible to save the ashes of an animal after cremation, since several animals are cremated at the same time. However, I kept a small piece of her wool as a souvenir, put the wool in a postcard and hid it in a closet at home.
About six months after Nika's death, I woke up with the feeling that the cat's paws were softly crumpling the blanket on my bed. I didn't have a cat at that moment. I immediately remembered those pleasant memories, just as not long ago Nika did the same thing. I don’t know if it was me or not. However, the most surprising thing was that the card with wool was gone. Mystic!?
