Around 7AM Buffy started meowing, trying to make me get up. Oh no, I groaned. "Sleepy-bye". She has dry kibble and water right there. No
reason for me to get up yet. (except for the gooshy food). I wasn't a
good cat slave. I refused to get up until around 9AM.
I keep a lightweight cotton robe at the foot of the bed. When I got out
of bed that morning, Buffy had dragged it off the bed and onto the cat
steps at the *head* of the bed. I looked down and there it was, as if
she was saying "Hello! Here's your robe. Now get up and feed me!"
Cute trick with the robe, Buffy. I have to wonder why she grabbed an article of clothing for me to put on. Hmmmm.
I did get up and she did get her gooshy food. And I did get to sleep in that extra 2 hours before discovering the robe. :)

That happened last August, almost a year ago. Buffy died on 6/11/2021.
 I haven't changed my habit of keeping that robe at the foot of the bed.
This morning when I woke up to get ready for work, that robe was once
again on the pet steps at the head of the bed. I was flabbergasted.
Her food and water bowls were in the bedroom, too. At the risk of
sounding completely nutty, I sometimes think I can hear her eating her "crunchies" during the night. This despite the fact that those bowls
have been washed and put away.

I kept thinking I saw Cinnamon out of the corner of my eye, and when I
turned to look at the motion, of course, there was nothing moving. I
think this is a normal response. After my grandmother died, many years
ago, I woke up one night and saw her standing in my bedroom doorway
smiling at me. Of course, I was dreaming, but it seemed very real.

I think that loved ones do stay with us on some level. That they do things
to let us know they're there. If it was in your imagination, how come your robe was on the pet steps at the top of the bed not where you left it on
the foot of the bed?

It's a magical mystery. I'd have had no reason to move it in my sleep.

Yes, you're nuts. Buffy's dead, get on with YOUR life.
