I was recently talking with a friend about our own experiences with things "out-of-the-norm". We always speak about these things, trying to logically explain them and it helps. We are both persons who believe in such things and who had experienced such things, but we always try to think rational before taking something for real. It is like we make our own mini-investigations on the subject.
She was telling me something about her cat. A couple of months ago, her cat dissappeared. She lost hope about finding the cat. She thought that someone took her or, worse, she died. She got her mind off of it, but some time ago, her boyfriend dreamt that the cat came back. She indeed came back a few days ago. My friend was telling me that she seems to be somehow changed, that she senses there is something changed about the cat. She told me I would call her crazy, but she thinks that maybe something or someone reincarnated in the body of that cat. We laughed a little at this possibilty but we started to talk about some tribal societies who strongly believe that spirits can reincarnate in animals or objects.
Talking about this, I remembered something I saw when I was a kid.
In the vicinity of my house, there is a park. It is lower than the level of the street. You have to go down some stairs to enter the park, the street is about 2 meter higher. One day, I took my younger sister to the park and I remember that I saw a dead cat on one side of the road. I took a look at it, it was dead, it was completely dead. It even looked like it was already dead for a day or so. You know the look they get upon their death, they somehow swell and their fur looks weird.
I felt sad but entered the park. While I was looking after my sister while she was playing, I saw the cat crossing the street on its own four feet. I was a little shocked but I thought that it was another cat which looked just like the dead one. I tried to stop thinking about it, but the thought was putting such pressure on me that I finally walked up the stairs and went to the spot where I saw the dead cat. It was gone.
I remember I was somehow happy, but curious at the same time. I am completely sure that cat was dead when I first saw it.

I have been living with cats all my life. I can't keep them all day inside the house, they need to roam and that is why I sometimes let my cats get outside, they always came back. I had a cat who disappeared for about 2-3 months. We lost hope that we would find her, we started looking in the neighbourhood to see if she dies somewhere. We couldn't find her. One day, my sister was in our yard and she suddenly yelled 'The cat is back!'. I didn't even budge, I just thought that there was a similar cat. Well, I went outside and it was indeed our cat.
I don't discount the possibility that the dead cat was just took by someone and what I saw was, in fact, a similar one. I just had a powerful feeling that it was the same cat. Like I said, I did not see anyone picking it up and that thing is not usual. Like I said in my first comment, those unfortunate dead animals are taken away by the garbage collectors. The point where I stood made me able to see the spot where the dead cat was and I didn't see anyone going there, just cars passing by. That's why I found it weird.
Thank you, as well, for your comment.
