Hi everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right section. I really just need someone to talk to about some things, and this forum has always been kind to me before.
I've been trying to develop my divination and abilities for a while now, doing tarot readings, trying to sense fae folk, etc. I've noticed that thoughts would enter my mind when I was trying to focus on the otherwordly, and they'd likely be true, although I could never sense things as extensively as my mentor. For example, I'd know there was a wood spirit somewhere, but she could pick up more on it.
Earlier this week (Monday morning), I had to euthanise my beloved kitty. She was a senior kitty and has been having senior-related health issues, but nothing that made me decide to euthanise her (quality of life was good still). She had a bit of an issue this past week but she was coming out of it. But, one night, she developed respiratory distress and I chose to euthanise her since she wasn't going to come out of it (the vet said) and be the kitty she was. She'd have to be in the ICU and hospitalised.
On Sunday, we bought a betta fish, and I had this thought that probably sprung from an idea of replacement (when people buy a cat when the family cat has passed on). This thought was that bringing a soul into the house means that another has to leave. But I mean, it's a fish and a cat. I've bought fish before without an issue, and I wonder if I only thought it because for the past week I've been trying to assess my cat's quality of life and decide if I should euthanise her or not. Please just tell me that that was my overactive mind and not a warning or anything. I'd hate to think that I set in motion events that caused her to leave me
Also, after she started getting a bit better, we were optimistic and bought her some different food to tempt her, set up her living area to be safer for her. Did our optimism have any effect on anything, do you think? I'd think that positive energy brings positive things...?
This also brings up something else that I'm feeling uneasy over. I had bought some memory foam to place on my mattress, to make things softer for her. It was covered by a sheet and two blankets, and she was lying on it. About 6 hours after we went to sleep, is when her respiratory distress started. I had this thought that the fumes would negatively affect her, but I don't know if that was just paranoia. The vet assured me that it had nothing to do with it, but I still feel like I could have prevented it.
Do you guys think that this--the foam and betta--were just a coincidence? I wasn't trying to "sense" anything, these ideas just popped in my mind. Was I just being paranoid do you think, because the idea of her death has been in my mind for a while?
On Sunday, she had one of the best days she had in a while. Which made me get my hopes up that she is going to be with me for a bit longer. I was giving her attention and she was just rubbing up against my hand, quite a lot. Looking back, I wonder if this is her saying goodbye? It was almost exactly 12 hours later that she went into respiratory distress.
Thank you.
