From the time we are young, we are told there is the possibility of meeting your soulmate someday. But most people don’t tell you that sometimes, that soulmate can come as an animal. And, for cat people, sometimes that means your soulmate can be a cat. It might sound silly to some people, but I believe there is truth behind it after reading several heartwarming stories over the years. It is valid if you’ve ever felt your cat is your soulmate. Here’s why.
First off, what is a soulmate?
A soulmate can be many things to many people. But it’s suggested that a soulmate is someone with whom someone feels a deep, natural, and often intense connection. This can be a romantic partner for many, but such is not always the case.
Whatever the case, this bond a person feels with their soulmate is intense and often feels as if it was destined to be. Once a person recognizes that another person (or perhaps an animal) is their soulmate, it can feel like a missing puzzle piece in their life has been found. These bonds are so profound they can often not be explained, and this intense phenomenon can bring on a wave of happiness, emotions, and attachments to the other being. A strong desire to be near and to have your soulmate share in life’s best moments will always be there.
Can my cat be my soulmate?
As mentioned above, the term soulmate typically has a romantic attachment. But that doesn’t mean your soulmate will always be a significant other. If you’ve ever wondered if your pet is, in fact, your soulmate, you are not the only person to have felt this way. A soulmate is another being that makes you feel complete and can fill an emptiness you once had inside without saying a word. That said, there is no reason why you can’t have a cat as your soulmate. There’s even a term for those who believe a cat is their soulmate. It’s known as a soul cat.
How do I know if my cat is my soulmate?
Animals are incredibly intuitive, and this is especially true for our feline friends. When you have a soul cat, this unbreakable bond speaks volumes for the nine lives you share with them. Your cat is there with you in those blissfully quiet moments that can sometimes feel surreal, as if time stops and it’s just the two of you. When your cat is your soulmate, they know something is wrong and do not leave your side. This can happen when you’re depressed, super stressed, or under the weather. They know in these times that you need them near, even if you don’t have the strength to admit it. They do not leave your side. You cannot explain this bond, as there are not even the proper words to define the magical connection you share. Additionally, you might feel that others wouldn’t understand, so you keep it to yourself. It might even be more special if you do.
When there is a soul cat in your life, this serene understanding is a shared rhythm, a beautiful coexistence that makes you—and your cat’s world—a better place.
The only downfall is that when it’s your kitty’s time to cross the rainbow bridge, you’re left with a hole in your heart, and your world will never be the same again. That’s the thing about soulmates: we are lucky if we ever get to experience this phenomenon in our lifetime because not everyone is so fortunate. If this is you, and you once shared your life with your now late soul cat, remember, they’re up in the clouds watching over you until the two of you can be reunited again.
