My cat only pays me any attention when i have a can of food and a tin opener in my hand, so he has me down as mug num1
 
Sorry to read of your loss Marion if you'd like to combine the purchase of a slinky Oriental and the humanitarian gesture of rescue then there are specialist rescue organisations in the UK. It would save you money too. Also might be worth enquiring in nearby rescues just in case they've had a bedraggled exotic handed in - it does happen.

We lost our beautiful siamese cat two weeks ago, he developed heart failure and went downhill fast so it was sudden and unexpected- he was only four. We buried him in the garden two days later.
Since then there has been nothing- I have almost been looking out for it but no, nothing has happened to make me think he was there then had to remember he is gone. In fact he is conspicuous by his absence- the house is too quiet, he is very definitely totally gone.

I thought the same about my Oliver, who died about 5 years ago.

Some time last year I was dropping off to sleep when I distinctly felt the familiar sensation of a feline body 'making muffins' on the duvet, then round and round in circles until it settled against my legs, just like Oliver used to do. Nothing there of course, but I found it very comforting.
 
Id say its psychological...I had similar things happen to me and Im not too well mentally. Although Im not saying you are too. So sorry about your cat, I remember how hard it is to lose an animal.
 
I had an experience this morning

My cat, Bearcat, passed away after a long and fairly happy life. She had been an outdoors cat for a few years before I made sure she was an indoor cat. I have seen too many sad remnants of family pets along our roads here. Anyway, Bearcat had been with me for nearly a full decade and seemed happy and playful, especially in the last few years.

She passed away about 10 days ago. The entire family was completely broken up over it, including my other cat, Ralphie. For days after Bearcat passed, Ralphie would climb onto the desk and stare into my face and weep. I would try to comfort him, but I could plainly see he was hurting. We all were hurting and grieving for a member of the family.

This morning, about 5 AM, Bearcat's usual rousing time for all of us since she always begged for us to get up to feed her, I woke to feel a definite lump, reminiscent of Bearcat resting against my leg in bed. I was startled fully awake when I heard her purring, loudly, as she always did at this time of the morning. When I raised my head to listen and moved my foot, the pressure disappeared and the purring vanished.

I'd like to believe it was her, but the skeptic in me tells me not to trust my emotions and thoughts during times of grief like this. I miss her terribly.
 
I suppose it is most likely to have been a dream,but i would prefer to think your cat was just putting in an appearance just to show all was well .
 
Had an odd experience at the weekend. I lost my lovely labrador in November last year. He was only 11 which isn't old for a lab. I've smelt his distinctive smell a couple of times since he died and also thought I heard his claws clicking on the wooden floor once (but that may have been imagination). But each time it's been in the same place - at the foot of the stairs. Saturday night I was just going up to bed and something caught my eye through the rails of the bannister. And there he was, looking directly at me. Just an instant then he was gone. Objectively, I know it was my mind playing tricks on me. When he was alive I'd often "see" him out of the corner of my eye but when I actually looked it was a coat or a towel or something that my mind processed as him because it was vaguely the same size. But this wasn't like that. I could see his face with his bright eyes and distinctive tilt of the head. I've repeatedly stood in the same spot since and tried to work out what I could have been looking at that tricked my mind into thinking it was him but there's nothing at all there that I can se that would make my mind think that. Although it was late I wasn't particularly tired and hadn't been drinking (I know someone's going to ask). So did he pop back? I hope so, he was a beautiful dog
 
We just lost our kittie, Daisy Mae, a month ago - every single morning she would awaken me by meowing, she wanted to have her breakfast at 7:00 a.m. We lost her on November 1, the following morning at 7:00 a.m. I was awake and just going to get up, when I heard two 'meows', I was stunned. I quickly got up and looked around, nothing. But I know I heard her, just devastating.

Hey, pop over to the "Cats & People" thread and post some pics of her. I don't know how to actually insert the link.
 
Here's the little darling:
