@ndy, your questions have gotten me thinking, and I am trying to come to an understanding of pets that is as close to the Law of One as possible.
2D animals operate mainly on instinct, without much of a perception of their self as an individual. The decisions they make center mostly around orange-ray functions such as survival. If a 2D animal entity is at a point in their spiritual evolution that they wish to prepare for 3D work, they may choose to become attached to a 3D individual or family that can provide the desired catalyst. As a part of this, which may well be a conscious decision, the entity is entrusting its life and general wellbeing to the 3D individual or family. I do not wish to make this sound like a one-sided deal, as a 3D entity can learn much from an animal and both can share love, affection, and friendship. I would think, then, that the decisions that one would make concerning the pet would be up to the caretaker's judgement.
If you have a loving, trusting relationship with your pet, you should be able to tell if what you are doing is in alignment with the pet's best interest. They will definitely tell you otherwise if it is not. We had an old, blind cat several years ago that I was very close to. During the final vet visits, she sent a very clear message that she wanted nothing to do with it and preferred to stay home. We shared a few more months than we thougt we would have with her, and she passed peacefully and painlessly with us as we lay in bed. It was quite sad at the time, but I preferred the quiet togetherness, and I felt that was what she wanted as well.
The point I am attempting to make is to trust your judgement, and if for some reason you do something out of alignment with it (as I did by taking Kitty to the vet) the pet will let you know if it is an issue (hissing, screaming, and spitting in the vet's face might be a sign of that). As a veterinary technician or doctor, it might be best to trust the judgement of the family that the pet has agreed to have care for it. Above all else, it is your intentions that matter, and no matter how an animal reacts it will still know that you mean well for it.
Eddie, it is wonderful to hear that your cat continued to grace you with its presence. I can share a similar experience. Kitty has been with us ever since her passing, and we also experience her walking on the bed at night. If we are lucky we catch glimses of her around the house. My two year old daughter even said 'look, a kitty cat' and pointed to where I had buried the cat in the yard when there was no way she would have known. She was not born yet when Kitty passed. Funny, as I write this she is in the livingroom with me
Unity, great job having faith in your cat's ability to heal! I think it all depends on the judgement of the pet's caregivers, but I would certainly hope that each would exhaust all options before throwing in the towel. I know I would appreciate that if I were a pet.
Monica, your observation regarding reincarnation with the cats is quite interesting. You must be doing something right if they come back to you! Maybe there's more that he wanted to learn with you that he did not get the chance to finish.
