Some "carers" do not understand dementia. They think the person is 100% doolally. They think their Soul isn't there any more. The Soul is like the sun which is glimpsed above the clouds from time to time, and often most unexpectedly.
People with dementia are not devoid of feelings. Nor are they unable to tell when a loved one has been suddenly taken away.
Anyway I am very glad the cat is with the old lady's son. But it's a pity the cat couldn't have stayed with her. Showing a photograph to a person with dementia might not work. It depends.
It always amuses me how some people with allergies can suddenly be healed when money is involved! lol
I once had to go to a "healer's" house and she wanted me to paint signs for all the doors in this establishment. The signs she wanted were very intricate with lettering and flower designs. Each one would have taken a day to do. I told her they would be £25 each.
She was coughing and breathing hard. I asked her if she was okay. She said she could smell smoke on me and was allergic. She couldn't be near me.
Then I dropped the price to £20 each, and she came to the table to work out the designs. No sign of her previous "smoke allergy"! haha
The smoke was a mixture of wood smoke (from blowing the wood coals into flames) and my friend Peter's cigarettes which he had been smoking a lot in the car. Well I can't totally blame him, as I had one too that day.
I must have smelled bad. I don't deny that
