A viewer asks: “My Soul Mate Cat recently passed away at 9 and a half years which is young for the breed he is. He meant the world to me. Is he okay and is there anything he would like me to know?”

Your dear cat is in fine shape and reveling in the higher astral plane with friends among the many beings it has shared experiences with. He has strong love for you as well, and he always felt your love for him and to him it was very, very, special and very, very, precious. As divinely created beings, cats, despite their somewhat more reserved and remote demeanor compared to canines among companion animals, do live for love and know it when they feel it. That will never change. He will be bonded to you going forward and visits you when you think of him, and wants you to know he does not miss you in the same way you miss him, because he can choose to be with you and sense your presence and energy and see that directly in ways much harder for you. He also wants you to know that he did leave at a younger age than expected, although not through his choice but as a consequence of other factors that ended up taking his life. That was, we can tell you, a consequence of karmic forces at work bringing around negativity that was too great for him to handle and keep his physical life going. So it was in no way a failing of any of his friends in the physical who cared about him. Even though you cannot see him, he is still there for you in a real sense, and you will see him again because he will greet you when it is your turn to transition one day.
