Actually he was busy dying during a thunderstorm and shook his fist at the sky as he passed.  
And this has to do with psychic animals…?

Oh, and just for the record, I’m not suggesting that my cats have ESP or anything, just that they tend to amaze me on a regular basis. 🙂

Actually, Carinvorousplant, I mentioned Beethoven _because_ of the rain the night the woman died; the fact that she had been quite the musician (she was a pianist and organist with a music degree from UCLA); and her own daughter’s observation that a rainy night was the way her mother would have wanted to leave this world. This woman and her two brothers, who were all present during the time the older woman died, would know this better that anyone _else_ present (her own husband had died 11 years before.) Some people leave their mark on this world…
