When a cat passes away...
My cat passed away 3 months ago, She was a hefty 14lbs and was heavy when I picked her up. The day she passed away I sat with her through the whole thing then I picked her up and her body was light. I understand that her body was lifeless and she was no longer there but how come she was lighter than usual?

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?

Unless you actually weighed the cat, you really can't be sure she was actually lighter. She may have been easier to lift because cats generally stretch and squirm when they're picked up, and she was no longer in any position to do that.
