The mind is a funny place, especially a womans mind when she's shopping for shoes. lol
But seriously consider this all things are spiritual. The body is dead without the spirit.
A healthy dog is seen chasing cars, barking and runing one minute till it gets hit by a car. The dog is lying beside the road as you go over and nudge it with your foot. Dead as in dead, stiff, no longer alive, but wait where did it's spirit go. The spirit gives life.
Perhaps your cats spirit is still in your bed and has no body left to return to
Have you changed your bedding lately? Just kidding ... keep on dreaming SteamWake we like your spirit.
