The whole "soul left" argument has been scientifically debunked. The experiment was fudged. If you believe in souls, then yes, your kitty's soul has passed on. It doesn't weigh anything, though.

If you want a scientific explanation, her body was relaxed and easier to pick up. Even when we relax as much as possible, we still resist being moved. Our tendons contract, our muscles contract, and we lock our joints. Kitty was just completely relaxed and at peace. That's why she felt lighter.

In the end, though, you can believe what you want. If that lightness being her soul makes you feel better and comforts you, then believe that. Isn't that what your faith and beliefs are meant to do?

That's a great answer, Thank you.

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
