Cat is "talking" to deceased / Spirits ?

If the ghost of a previous cat counts, then yes. My mother's cat, Bill, passed away over two years before we adopted Gato, but he still avoids certain areas of the house- areas in which Bill spent her last few weeks.
I don't know. Maybe he just avoids it because it smells like her, but I think that there's something more to it...

None of my fur kids ever talked to any deceased that I know of, but many years ago when my little terrier Cinnamon went to RB, one of my Lhasas (also now at RB), would stand and stare for long periods of time, at the spot that Cinnamon used to lay the most.

She was seeing something that I couldn't, and I believe that most animals are much more sensitive than most humans when it comes to issues such as this.

Great. I'm home alone a lot (night owl roommate -- long story), and now whenever Blackjack barks at a dark corner, I'll just think it's a GHOST instead of a car alarm going off somewhere.

You guys are freaking me out! My building is like 80 years old and probably has all sorts of spirits lurking in it. Blackjack is supposed to PROTECT me, not scare the ZINGOS out of me!

I know its common is Siamese to "Talk" but Paris my Lilac Point is just a talker there is no way she is expressing her feelings just to do it?? She always has a ton to say usually around 6ish every night?? I think whole heartedly that she is speaking to my siamese Pricilla. We believe completely that Paris was sent to us from Pricilla...The crazy thing about the whole deal is there was 3 people on a waiting list for Paris and 1 was not fit to give her a home and the other pulled out before adoption and for my 30th birthday I had a lilac point siamese baby waiting for me when I got home!!!

And Moosmom I have read that about the pennies...I believe it ever since my grandfathers passing I find pennies everywhere...This too was a thing all of us grandkids use to take from our grandparents were pennies so we could hit up the local convience store looking for candy...Its almost like Grandpa was making sure we were happy....

Ok, this might explain a lot. My RB kitty (ChenMao - an only-child) was Tonkinese and she hardly ever spoke unless she really had something to say to me. My little lynx-point Siamese will rarely speak except in little chirps but my little orange tab talks like crazy. Mostly in one room (the dining room....not necessarily ChenMao's favorite place) and I haven't been able to figure out why. He's just plain chatty. I wonder now if he's talking to her. I always thought that he was in some way channeling her because of some other behaviors I've seen. I have seen both cats run to the same spot like they see or hear something that is beyond my human senses and even run and jump like there is something there that they are playing with. I chalked it up to missing brain cells.

Awesome! What a happy thought! I'd honestly love to think that ChenMao is still with me playing with my new furbabies.
