For example the cat followed other church staff to the site of the burial? Is that really so perplexing? [/ QUOTE ] Well, they didn't see him go there. And when they saw him there, he was there for two days. |

Cats often sun themselves on piles of dirt. Maybe it can still smell a trace of its meal ticket at the gravesite. Are you suggesting that there is some non-scientific explanation? [/ QUOTE ] They do that for two days? I'm just exploring the possibilities. |

Re: Scientific Explanation?
[ QUOTE ]
I read an article the other day about a cat that was adopted by a church in Pinehurst. The cat became good friends with one of the staff at the church. Upon the man's death, the cat could not be found after the funeral until he was discovered on the grave of his friend, where he stayed for two days. Assuming the information in the story was correct, let's go ahead and make the assumption that the cat knew his friend was there. What can explain that he knew, assuming that the casket was sealed properly? [/ QUOTE ]I can with cetianty say that the explianation may have nothing to do with that he was a a staffer at a church. If you are trying to imply that it must, your are being intellectualy dishonest. |

Re: Scientific Explanation?
One of my three dogs had to be put down about a month ago. We had him cremated and put in a sealed urn. My wife brought it home and placed it on a table in a far corner of the living area where a couple of others like it resided. We went out that afternoon. When we returned, one of the other dogs had taken the urn from it's spot, and moved it to the place where the deceaced dog had always laid in the evenings.
Improperly sealed? One of the other dogs had been a priest in a previous life? I don't know. I do know that it was a very very strange experience. Doc |

Doc [/ QUOTE ]I like this story but I don't think that smell would work here, since the dogs ashes probably don't smell like dog. And I don't see any reason to invoke god or priests, and reincarnation. The dog simply knew what the urn represented. You and your wife communicated it to the dog. |
