The story begins to when, my family and I had moved into our previous house. In my room there was a closet that had a small bed inside. At first I didn’t take noticed in it since it was a new house. The next time I had heard soft meowing coming from the Closet so I opened it. And there it was a small Cat that was quietly sleeping in the bed.
A few weeks passed that I had been taking care of it, and my dad had told me the cat had passed. Of course like a kid I cried and I wish he never left. A month after he passed I heard clawing from the closet and I opened it slowly. Nothing was there but the cat’s bed, and Sebastian’s (the cat) collar. So I closed it and went to bed.
I was lying completely still contemplating whether or not to get up and get ready fro school, and that’s when I felt something curl up beside me. I turned my head to where I felt the touch and the bed had an indent. I began to panic and I got out of bed. and the dent was gone. I had told my parents about it, but they called me crazy.
Later, that day I decided to go into my room and call out Sebastian’s name. I saw nothing but I heard a cat again coming from the closet. Like before i opened it but something was different, the collar was gone and the bed was turned over.
I had been told it was the death of my best friend (Sebastian) that had taken it’s toll on my imagination, But I say different.

Hi Amber Jo Merritt
Well – I think its lovely that Sebastian still comes back to see you. My cat Skimble passed away 3 years ago and I still hear the rattle the dish’s in the sink after we’ve had dinner (never could get him out of the habit of ‘stealing’), get the odd pen or bit of paper scoot across the desk or floor and see him leaping about out of the corner of my eye.
At least I know Skimble is alright and still watching out for me, even after death.
