Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Remembering Nikki
Two years ago today, Nikki left us for happier hunting grounds. I don't know if it's due to being ill the last few weeks, or just because I've slept much more than usual, but I've been having very vivid dreams about Nikki and Frank lately. Every time I've taken a nap and every night, I've dreamed about one or the other, or both. The dreams are lovely, but I wake up missing my old friends all over again. The other night, I dreamed that we were in a very nice place, with old houses, painted red or yellow, around a very lush and green garden. The sun was shining. Frank and I were sitting in the grass, watching Nikki play with another small tuxie girlcat. I said to Frank, I hope she isn't mean to that cat (Nikki was known for hating all strangers). But I needn't have worried, because Nikki was playing nicely with the other cat. Frank and I just sat there and watched them. There were other cats around too. Frank was purring in the sun. I just didn't want to wake up from that.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

That's such a lovely dream. Sort of a cross between the Rainbow Bridge and the Island! I dream about my cats all the time, but not about those who've passed on. Purrs for you on this sad anniversary. It's nice that you can remember them in such nice settings. Joyce > That's such a lovely dream. Sort of a cross between the Rainbow Bridge > and the Island! I thought so too.

It's nice that you can remember > them in such nice settings. Most of the dreams are very nice, like this one. I only remember one bad dream from a couple of weeks ago. I dreamed I was doing something completely unrelated (don't remember what) when I suddenly realised I'd left Frank on the island to fend for himself all winter! I set off to save him immediately, but everything went wrong and I just couldn't get there - you know how dreams go when you know you need to do something and all these obstacles get in your way. I'd sit on the bus and suddenly realise it was going in a completely wrong direction, the boat engine wouldn't start, etc. Finally, I reached the island, and Frank sat there, looking emaciated and bedraggled and glaring accusingly at me. I exclaimed, 'there you are! You're still alive! I missed you so much! I'm so sorry I left you!' He just sort of humphed at me and turned his back, and then I woke up.

Your post was so beautiful that it made me cry. I think your dream was the epitomy of "in loving memory". I'm off to find Persephone and give her a cuddle in memory of your special black-and-white cats.

When I have dreamed of my (rainbow) kitties it has often been during such times. Who knows, perhaps it is that their spirits, still connected with ours through time and distance, feel that dearth.

They are just letting you know they are always with you.

My mother and I often discussed whether or not there was an afterlife and how we could possibly prove it, whichever one of us went first. We decided that a non-scary way would be best. I was devastated when she died very suddenly and unexpectedly in 2003. It was a couple of years until I had the most wonderful dream when she came into my bedroom along with one of my RB dogs and we talked. I thought I was awake and I was frightened, but she told me not to be, and that she was with all the RB family. I like to think that was her way of coming back and maybe that is Nikki & Frank's way too. It was very comforting. Tweed > I like to think that was her way of coming back and maybe that is Nikki & > Frank's way too. It was very comforting. Most of the dreams are comforting like that, with just the one upsetting one (see my reply to Joyce in this thread). SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I can't believe it has been two years. In some ways, you are so lucky to dream of them. I never dream of Grant. I wish I would, I think.

In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. {{Marina}} The other day, I came across a photo of Pan sitting on my bedside table, and I had this huge rush of missing him! But what a lovely dream about Frank and Nikki. I can understand why you didn't want to wake up! I don't dream much, or at least not that I remember. But I'm very likely to wake up with a cat on top of me or right in my face asking for breakfast.

What a wonderful dream - to feel so close to Frank and Nikki again. Take care, Susan M Otis and Chester > Two years ago today, Nikki left us for happier hunting grounds. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I just didn't want to wake up from that. {{{{{{{Marina}}}}}}} I know that feeling. It's hard to wake up, especially if the dream is vivid and happy. But I take it as a sign that they are letting us know that they're okay, which is a good thing. Purrs for your healing heart.

Lots and lots of hugs and purrs for you, Marina, POlonca and Soncek > Two years ago today, Nikki left us for happier hunting grounds. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I just didn't want to wake up from that. You always will hold fond memories of them in your heart. And they came to you when you were feeling down. Just more proof that they are watching over their slaves past present and future :-) |
