‘I can’t explain it, except there’s little things that he does, like looking for the litter box exactly where the litter box used to be’: Cat owner's despair after losing their soul cat is replaced by joy, and the arrival of a mystical kitten

Reincarnation is a concept that has been spoken about in various cultures for thousands of years. And if you consider your soul to be made up of some form of energy, and accept the scientific fact that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, then it is not a far cry to imagine that your soul's energy could be transferred upon your passing.

Which is certainly what this feline pawrent began to think when the kitten they adopted started behaving in ways that their soul cat who had recently passed used to. Whether it was sniffing around where the old litter box used to be, or the kitten's ability to comprehend far beyond its years, there was something oddly familiar about this kitten. We will leave the rest to be read by you, so that you can decide whether this is indeed a case of cat reincarnation, but what we will say is that whether it is or not, there are a whole load of creepy coincidences here.
