The cat who saved me

All animal all kind and Nature are wonderful.

All of Life is One. That is the belief that all of creation comes from the same Divine Spark, and as creations of that Divine Spark, everyone has a bit of that spark in them, even rocks, trees, and animals, so in a way, we’re all related as we all have the same ultimate origin.

Samira my cat was my Guardian Angel , she brought by the kings of Brunei pilot as a gift to his daughter , The daughter didn’t like a cat so they wanted to give a cat to someone she was 4 months by then, so the family asked a group of people to come to the house for a a coffee and then they will let the cat go and when the cat touches the first person he or she must take the cat so we agree. I thought well there are more than 20 people and there is no way she will come close to me as I was in the far corner.

We had wonderful time chatting and having our tea and drinks, then they let the cat go she start walking and going around and then she move and directly came toward me ! my heart was beating oh my god she coming to me ,please go away I said to myself and the cat moved slowly and jump in my seat ,oh no… NO ,I can’t take care of a cat I don’t have time ,I said. They told me I agreed to this . I said it must be a mistake why she came to me , may be the chair contain cat spray or it is her chair ….but I couldn’t convince them , the cat is yours….all said at once pointing at me and laughing. I took Samira home with her belonging all the cat supplies etc.

And she become my cat my friend and guardian.

Who knew the day was coming when I would nearly die while sleeping and black Cobra snake slit in my place in Brunei where I used to live and work , my cat Samira start hissing and fighting with her and woke me up to see the snake in my bedroom . wow so scary I don’t know what to do and I manage to get the blanket over the snake and quickly took the side table and crushed her and stood over the table for 20 minutes and then carefully went to pick up a an iron rod from the balcony and hammered her more until I know she is dead.

One month later I woke up to go to work and I dressed up and walked to the door to put my shoes but Samira my cat was hissing again and again angry and loud

She was focusing on my shoes and hissing and don’t let me wear my shoes

I thought oh my God it must be another snake , I took a broom and flip the shoe so carefully taken my cat away , then a black large scorpion was in my shoe .

As soon as he touched the ground I made him a mash potatoes with the broom ,

I Hitting him so hard with. Then I clean the room and made sure no poison left in the floor.

One day Samira was in the window while I was sleeping , and she kept coming to my

Bed trying to tell me something and run to the window and meow and come back , I thought oh not again, what’s in the second floor window now , when I look down in the garage where I park my car , a thief is brooked my window and he was stealing small items from the car , I scream at him and hit him with a coke bottle that I had beside the table then took my knife and went down after I called the police . I wish I listen to the cat 30 min before that , before he broke the car window that cost me 200 dollars to fix.

I moved away from that jungle house to protect my cat and myself.

Few months after these incidents Samira contracted what the vet called liver failure possible due to snake or scorpion bite !? ,”

The vet declared she’d be dead within a few weeks and that cats do not survive.

The vet began steroid injections for the pain. And try to give medication for infection and fever etc. I told my cat with tears streaming down my face that she could not leave me now, I loved her as she came to my life after my mother was passed away in Iraq .

that I really needed her, that she had saved my life many times . and I were willing to do whatever it took to be sure she would live .I will go to the vet every day and stay beside her and I can see her open her eyes and know I am beside her and walk so slow and tired toward my arms.

Then she began to have trouble eating and then she wanted hide and start having fever, the vet told me nothing he can do and I should take her my place so she be with me as he can see that she is happy to see me.

Samira was definitely my cat and would sleep at the foot of my bed every night. She would take the time to sit on the floor and completely bathe herself before she would jump up on my bed. And she always inspect the bed and my shoes for any snake or scorpion I can see her going throw every inch.

Whenever I was sick Samira would sit up with me on my bed and just watch me. Lick my hands and face, If I woke up in the middle of the night I’d see her beautiful hazel eyes glowing as she kept a steady eye on me.

She always made me feel very secure and safe, my own little furry nurse who was there to watch over and protect me. I never realized that was indeed her purpose. Like a guardian angel.

I think she was keenly aware of her purpose because whenever I was the slightest bit sick she would be so vigilant. She would even stay with me during the day if I was in bed, and she never did that when I was healthy.

Every time I got sick she stuck to me like glue, my little watch cat, so when she became ill I took the best care of her we possibly could. I got her all the medication she need and I even paid for a baby sitter to cat sit and make sure she get her medication and water etc every day . until I got a phone call from the house cleaner who cat sit and she told me that Samira refused to eat and she is sweating and something wrong with her , so I drove from work and took her to the Dr again and he manage to bring her back again with 1500 dollars medications and injections etc.

And I took her back home it was day before my birth day. Next day on my birth day she moved so slow toward my arms to hold her and passed away in my arms in march 12 my birth day, I cried so much and kissed her and waited she was in my arms covered with a towel that she like.

I called in sick in that day . AND I asked some friends to help me, we went to the garden of the house I Digg 4 feet and buried her with some of her toes and her picture with me and I wrote a letter for her and put it with her in the grave. And made a rose shrubs around the grave in week after that. But when I Buried her in that day I put 5 candles for her around her grave as she was 5 years old when she die. I was watching from my window upstairs and asking God to bless her soul , I saw more than 10 cats ! around her grave close to it , maybe they were looking at the candle those cats stayed at the grave almost until mid night. I couldn’t sleep that night I felt I am missing something more than my family , my heart was acing and broken. I LOVE YOU SAMIRA.

I have many other cats after that Nemo who got killed by a coyote in north Alberta 2008. I still have 3 cats ; Smokey 8 years , Ashley and Mahera 4 years each.

This experience may not be what you’d call “paranormal,” however, it shows us the interconnectedness of all life and I figured that made it special enough to include Samira’s story here.

(( THE CAT in the picture is Nemo, I will add Samira picture later ).

Pets are our family, the love us and make us feel good I feel so relaxed and it reduce the blood pressure when I am beside my pet I feel sense of control responsibility and mercy I look deep into their eyes and they never blink , do you know Cats do say I like you and I love you by the way they close their eyes if they give you deep long pause of eye closer that’s mean I love you so much and if the blink after looking at you that’s mean I like you….just like their ears and tail and body gesture that they use to communicate to us but watch the eyes , try to look at your cat and then blink and close your eyes and open it and she will do the same to you.
