Losing a pet is a big loss, and every owner would like to protect himself from it. But it may also be that the death of a beloved cat is associated with not quite ordinary, earthly reasons. It is important to know what this unpleasant event could mean, because cats have long been considered conductors between the world of the living and the dead. Many different cultures revere or even worship these animals. That is why they always paid attention to their death and saw hidden meanings in it.
Causes of cat death
To understand what the death of a cat means, you must first accurately establish the cause of its death. This can be either natural decline from old age, or poisoning, an accident or an unexpected illness. Sometimes animals jump out of a window or from a balcony for unknown reasons.
It may also be that the cat was killed by one of the neighbors or other people with the goal of causing harm to its owner and causing pain. But fate will certainly punish the offender and he will be haunted by failure for a long time. Ancient superstitions claim that such troubles will last for at least seven years.
The same thing awaits those who want to get rid of newborn kittens and drown them or throw them out into the street, leaving no chance to survive, while having the opportunity to place the babies in good hands.
Natural death from old age rarely contains a hidden meaning. A cat is a mortal creature, the same as all other animals and people on the planet, so it cannot live forever. But the euthanasia of a pet is perceived negatively by higher powers - they punish such owners with constant life failures in all areas of life for two years.
For women
Dreams with cats evoke pleasant associations, but few people think about why a dead cat dreams. For a woman, this dream signals the presence of a rival. He says that she will not harm the dreamer or will completely disappear from the horizon. Seeing a cat covered in blood is a bad sign. This means that there will be a major scandal or conflict with someone from the environment. A dream with the presence of several dead cats has a similar meaning.
Seeing the body of an animal in your home is not good. The dream warns of damage that will be caused to a woman’s personal life.
If the cat's color matches the dreamer's hair color, this indicates an impending disease of the nervous system - depression, apathy and others.
The deceased cat once belonged to a woman who had a dream - to get rid of an obsessive admirer who suffered from unrequited love.
For a woman in love, such a dream prophesies separation from her other half.
A young woman’s dream of a dead animal means conflicting feelings, low self-esteem and internal anxiety. If a pregnant girl had such a dream, she should be on her guard. It promises a split in family relationships and the appearance of an attractive rival.
The cat dies in the house
You should pay more attention to the death of a pet at home, especially if it happened suddenly and the animal was young and healthy. Cats are considered the best guardians of the house from negative forces, so in the event of their death, you need to inspect the house and be sure to find out the cause of this incident. After all, it may be that the owners are also in danger.
Some ancient legends say that after the death of a cat, its owner will face difficult trials - illness or other troubles in life.
If an animal dies in the house, this may be a sign of the manifestation of magical powers such as:
- evil eye;
- damage to a house or apartment;
- strong envy towards the owner of the house;
- other deliberate witchcraft cast with the intent to cause pain and trouble;
Cats have the ability to take everything bad upon themselves, so in this case you should be grateful to the animal - who knows what could have happened if such a little protector had not been in the house. It is imperative to say goodbye to your pet and bury it with dignity in order to at least somehow repay for the many years of loyalty and the sacrifice made.
How to help your pet
If a cat dies, you should definitely call a doctor or try to save it yourself. In the case when there is no longer any hope, all that remains is to try to ensure the most painless death possible, and before that, the most comfortable stay of the animal on earth in its last hours.
It is quite simple to understand that something is wrong with a cat: he begins to behave differently than usual, meows for no reason, eats less and becomes less and less active. The first step is to provide your cat with a comfortable bed in the place where she most likes to be. You should not squeeze the animal or pick it up - in this state it prefers not to move at all and lie in one place.
The best solution would be to spend time with your pet, lightly pet it a few times or just talk.
Despite the fact that all signs may indicate approaching death, it is best to call a doctor - changes in behavior may only be symptoms of the disease, and with proper care and a qualified veterinarian, the animal will soon return to normal.
A dying cat may experience urinary incontinence and foul odors, so care may need to be more careful than usual. It is better to choose soft bedding for the animal and change it as needed.
During this difficult time, the cat may want to be alone, but you shouldn’t interfere with it - the animal most often dies alone.
Diagnostic features
The diagnosis is made, as always, only comprehensively. To do this, anamnesis is taken into account (whether there were any problems with the kidneys before, whether the animal has diabetes mellitus or other health problems), clinical signs and laboratory test results. It is imperative to examine the sediment and the urine itself (general analysis and biochemistry).
A condition in which there are disturbances in the functioning of the excretory system is rarely determined by external signs - the symptoms can suggest or suspect the disease. This is also explained by the fact that the symptoms are “masked” as other diseases, which are excluded only with the help of additional research methods.
An accurate diagnosis of renal failure is made only based on the results of a comprehensive examination with the obligatory implementation of:
- examination and collection of a detailed medical history (medical history and lifestyle);
- laboratory tests of urine and blood;
- Ultrasound of the kidneys and abdominal organs;
- fluoroscopy of the kidneys.
When analyzing urine it is noted:
- increased protein levels (proteinuria);
- the presence of leukocytes and erythrocytes;
- presence of sediment;
- decrease in its density (isosthenuria);
- pH shift to the acidic side.
Blood chemistry:
- increased urea;
- increase in creatinine level;
- fluctuations in the amount of protein in either direction;
- decreased potassium levels;
- increase in the level of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus (with chronic renal failure);
- increased sodium levels.
General blood analysis:
- decrease in hematocrit values;
- decreased hemoglobin levels;
- increase in the number of leukocytes;
- drop in platelet and lymphocyte levels.
Differentiation of acute renal failure and chronic renal failure:
- in case of acute renal failure, anemia does not have time to develop due to the transience of movement, in case of chronic renal failure it is clearly expressed;
- CRF begins smoothly and lasts a long time; at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis is most often unfavorable; AKI manifests suddenly with a lightning-fast course, the prognosis is favorable with timely diagnosis and proper treatment;
- when palpating the kidneys in chronic renal failure, they are almost always painless, while in acute renal failure the pain syndrome is clearly expressed;
- in case of acute renal failure the clinic is bright, in case of chronic renal failure it is not or is very blurred.
Should pets be euthanized?
Increasingly, owners are leaning toward this option, arguing that it is an outward manifestation of humanity. In this case, the animal will not live its last hours, which are so often associated with suffering.
But, as mentioned above, higher powers have a different opinion on this matter. They equate euthanasia with full-fledged, deliberate murder. And this already entails irreversible consequences in the form of constant failures and even serious incidents.
A pet who has lived with its owner for many years does not expect a death sentence from him, and this only aggravates the situation. It's easy to make mistakes when making a decision. The animal could have lived some more time if the symptoms of some disease had not been mistaken for signs of impending death.
If cats do not take root in the house
It also happens that pets constantly die in the house, be it cats, dogs or small rodents. It is important to find out the reason why they do not take root. There is a very high probability of the presence of negative energy or evil forces in the apartment that affect life.
If the animals died at the same time or after a short period one after another, it means that even they cannot cope with the amount of evil that has settled in the house. Perhaps the family has been damaged or someone deliberately continues to pour curses on it, which the cats are trying to resist.
It would also be useful to search for information about the place where the home is located. Very often this is the root of the problem. In the past, on a piece of land there could have been a cemetery or a place of sacrifice, which cannot but leave behind a trace and negative energy. This is why it is so important to find out the history of the site in advance - places that serve as a haven for magical forces are usually sold for less, and the truth about their past is hidden. Young families or just people looking to save money buy houses without hesitation, and then become victims of terrible events, one of which may be the death of a pet.
If changing housing is no longer possible, it makes sense to turn to a priest or other professional who will cleanse the house by performing the most powerful rituals. You can do them yourself, but only if you are confident that everything will be done correctly.
We should not exclude the possibility that the brownie might not like the cats, although this neighbor usually does not resort to physical violence. The death of a cat may indicate that the creature does not like the lifestyle that the owner leads. In such a situation, you need to try to appease him, as well as put the house in order and stop constantly thinking about bad things.
If you threw a dead cat into the yard or on the threshold
Cats are often used by sorcerers when performing magical rituals. Sometimes the purpose of rituals is to harm people.
Envious people, wanting to harm, kill the kitten, throw it in the yard or on the threshold of the house. It is unlikely that this will cause serious harm. The calculation is based on the psychological effect. Seeing the corpse of an animal on the threshold of a home is not very pleasant even for a realist, but a superstitious person will take it to heart.
There is no need to consider a dead cat found near the threshold of a house as a bad omen and think about what it means. A dead animal just needs to be removed by wearing gloves and using a shovel or dustpan.
Signs associated with the death of a cat
There are a huge number of superstitions about these small animals, because they are long-time companions of humans and are firmly entrenched in all aspects of culture.
Seeing a dead cat on the street
Oddly enough, if a dead cat is found on the street or in another place outside the apartment, there is no need to be afraid or panic. Most superstitions associated with this event call it a good omen.
After such a meeting, financial profit is expected, a trip or a long trip is possible, as well as love or a meeting with an enemy, depending on the color of the animal - it is worth preparing for a fight with the enemy if the cat’s fur is black.
But English fishermen, on the contrary, immediately collected their fishing rods and their belongings as soon as they saw the corpse of an animal. They argued that after such an omen it was impossible to fish, because you could easily run into trouble without getting the desired catch.
If you dropped a dead cat
There are often cases when ill-wishers throw dead animals at the door of an apartment or in the entrances. Most likely, a magical ritual takes place here. If someone wants to harm a family, he has to strangle the cat and throw it to the home of the object of the conspiracy.
Real experienced magicians and esotericists are skeptical about such actions - they are sure that the emphasis is precisely on scaring a person. The mere sight of a corpse on the doorstep makes one feel uneasy, which is why very often the owner’s anxiety turns into the cause of subsequent failures.
For men
When a man dreams of a dead cat, he should expect new fans to appear. They will be quite powerful and will try to subjugate those around them to their will. Some of them can harm a man. It is recommended to pay attention to the color of the cat. The darker it is, the higher the probability. Regardless of the situation, it will not be possible to cause serious damage - circumstances will intervene.
A dead animal thrown into a house indicates possible damage to the home or its inhabitants. If the dream is repeated several times, the man has been jinxed and will face difficulties in his relationship with his wife.
A dead cat that appears in a dream to a young guy speaks of a weakening influence on him from a powerful woman. Her role is often played by a mother or grandmother. If a young man dreams of a dead animal while courting a girl, and the color of the cat is the same as his lover's hair, the relationship is doomed to failure.
How to remove negativity from the death of a cat
If the cat has died, you need to take care to get rid of all the remaining negativity. This will help avoid unpleasant consequences.
The first thing you need to do is bury the animal in a quiet, calm place, and then wash your hands, imagining how everything bad and unpleasant from life goes away with the water. A good option would be to adopt a new kitten - this is a good deed, thanks to which another little creature will find a home and care. This will also help take your mind off the sadness for your old pet, because you will need to take care of the new one. And the kitten, in turn, will grow into a worthy defender from all dark forces.
When it's all over
As you work through the final details, the enormity of the loss may hit you all at once and you will find yourself numb and unable to cry. Grieving any loss is a long process, and you may never feel fully recovered. Through understanding and acknowledging the progressive stages of grief, the day will come when you can look back on your life with love and smiles instead of tears.

How to come to terms with loss
It is not easy to survive such a test. All belongings of the deceased pet must be removed so that nothing once again reminds of him. It is better to replay in your head only the most pleasant and bright moments spent with the animal.
It is important to monitor your own condition and contact a specialist in time if something goes wrong. If you have an irresponsible attitude towards yourself, depression develops, the treatment of which will take a lot of time, effort and money, because the drugs are usually very expensive.
There is no need to get a new pet if the memory of the old one is still too painful. This should only be done when memories of the cat do not bring tears.
In order to prevent the cat from leaving prematurely, you need to take care of its health and, in particular, its nutrition from childhood. There are frequent cases of early loss of cats due to the carelessness of their owners.
After the death of a cat or other pet, a person needs positive emotions and impressions - he needs to please himself and, if possible, limit the manifestations of negativity that exist in life. It should be remembered that a cat is one of the most devoted and faithful animals, despite its apparent indifference and independence. Each of them probably loves their owners so much that they are ready to pay with their lives to protect them from negativity.

Observations from everyday life, outside the therapist’s office
Here is a small example of the natural development of the process of a person’s consistent adaptation to changes in the system (field) in which he finds himself. I watched a scene in which a heavy poplar branch suddenly fell on the roof of a car parked near a house in front of its owner’s eyes due to a slight wind. The branch broke the windshield and damaged the roof. The sequence of experiences of the car owner was an illustration of how successive experiences of loss are described.
At first he walked around the car in a daze and, it seems, could not believe what had happened. Then he began to say to the neighbors who had come running: “Well, how can it be, why was I so unlucky, because I wanted to leave half an hour ago and only accidentally stayed at home!” There was resentment and helplessness in his voice. All this time he touched and pulled his hands away from the branch, without even starting to remove the pieces of wood from the body of the car. Then after about three minutes he almost regained his balance and a sign of this was the developing aggressive pattern. He began swearing at the city authorities and began using obscene language. Here the female part of the audience dispersed, and the men supported him. And against the backdrop of this aggression, he began to drop branches. Then he stopped and became sad. He looked at the car again and said: “Well, what a pity, because I recently painted it!” Then he looked around and said to those who were helping to remove the branches: “There is no need to remove any more branches. I'll call the insurance company now
Suddenly it is important for them to testify to the cause of the damage. They need to pay for everything."
So, we see that the car enthusiast spontaneously went through the five phases of the process of separation and restoration of integrity. And we see the role and contribution of the environment in the fact that these stages were passed without destruction. The environment, in the form of the people and neighbors present, provided support. The neighbors talked and supported the expression of feelings at every stage.
A common example in counseling practice is stories about parting with loved ones. There are often reports that although a person has left the relationship, he retains his place in the soul of a woman or man. The incompleteness of relationships is a phenomenon of forced preservation of the system. A person tries to avoid separation and, due to his emotions, maintains integrity where this integrity no longer exists. “You’re breaking up, and he doesn’t seem to have promised anything, and there seems to be something.” Such everyday examples can provide an illustration similar to examples of loss and bereavement in situations that are traditionally considered causes of stress.
