I know my animals are in heaven. I'll share my story so you have my "proof"

My cat Cleady went missing for about 4 days. We didn't know what happened or anything, but the night he went missing there was a HUGE rainfall. Eventually we had to accept that he probably had been caught by a coyote (he had arthritis) and there was no fur or evidence because of the rain.

The night we finally decided to accept that he was really gone, I was so upset. I didn't feel like it was certain, because I had no proof. That night when I went to bed, I was almost asleep, and I heard purring. Our other cat was downstairs in his room, and I knew the door was shut, so I figured it was my imagination. As I was laying there, I heard it again. I sat up and looked around the room to see if Krinkles (the other cat) was in there. I even called his name. He wasn't there, so I layed down again, and rolled over. As I rolled over, I moved my leg and I felt a lump at the end of the bed, like there was something heavy on the bed. Then I heard purring again. I looked at the end of the bed, but nothing was there. I thought, I'm really loosing it, but I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep. I moved my leg again, and I felt the same lump. There was nothing on the bed, but as I moved my leg back and forth, back and forth, I felt this lump in the same spot every time. The whole time, I heard purring. Now, this spot on the bed was Cleady's spot. He layed there as I talked to him every day after school about my day, he listened as I practiced my homework, and when he was allowed, that's where he slept all night. I whispered, "Cleady?" and the purring and the lump went away.

That night I dreamed that Cleady was running through a field of flowers - every colour imaginable - chasing butterflies. The sun was SO bright the sky looked white and glowing. In the dream Cleady was purring and his arthritis was gone.

I woke the next morning with tears all over my pillow, but feeling more at peace than I ever had before. I KNOW Cleady was there that night, letting me know that he was ok and had made it into heaven no problems. I know some people won't believe me about this, but I know what happened. I was NOT asleep when I heard the purring and felt the lump on my bed.. and I know it was Cleady telling me he was at peace.
