Pepper Returns

This is the fourth dream I had after the death of my cat, Pepper, on October 26th. (She was put to sleep after suffering an age-related illness. She was about 20 years old.)

I had another dream about Pepper. This one was strange...she was "back," that is, back alive, but it was normal for some reason and she wasn't a ghost. It was kind of like a second chance, or maybe she hadn't died? I have the feeling that she HAD died, but...like I said it was confusing.

She was walking around the house and I picked her up and she purred and it was so nice. Then she started walking funny, with her back legs bowed. :( I was so worried she was getting sick "again." (Before she died she wasn't defecating anymore.) She wandered over near the front door and I opened it and held her out over the porch, thinking maybe she had to pee. She squirmed and I brought her back in and she kept wandering. So she hadn't wanted to pee? What was wrong with her? She finally went over by the chair and stopped for a few minutes, then came out, walking normally and looking happy.

"She peed by the chair," I said to Dad, but I wasn't upset, I was actually HAPPY. She was back to normal! Dad got annoyed though and started making sounds like something really STANK. She hadn't peed, but had pooped. Well, that was messy, but I was still grateful. I got some paper towels and went to wipe it up only to find Dad already was. He seemed to be even MORE upset now, and I stood there with this look on my face like, "Well, you know, *I* was going to clean that up." But there wasn't anything I could do.

So I went and petted Pepper again.

She was so sweet. She purred and everything.
