Is it normal to keep dreaming of a long lost cat

I had this cat for 6 years. I really really loved this cat. She was my furbaby. We had an attachment like no other. We were bonded. She was my lovey. She went missing almost 4 years ago. I have no idea where she went or if she is dead or alive. I still cry about this. About a year after she went missing, I started dreaming about her. In these dreams I can feel how soft her fur is and hear her soft, high pitched meow. I pick her up and she hugs me like she used to. I almost always feel terrible after waking from these dreams to find that she is still gone. I had another dream last night. I am sobbing now as I type this. I don't want to dream about her anymore if i am going to continue feeling this way. I don't know what these dreams mean or how I can stop them. Please help.

    I know another pet wouldn't replace your cat but have you considered getting another? It might help.

    I have had cats since then, last year as a matter of fact, but due to fleas getting out of control, I couldn't keep them. I adopted two cats, one of which was pregnant and I ended up with 4 more kittens. 6 total felines in my house and it was too much.

    I want to try again with another rescue. My missing cat was a pound rescue and she was completely declawed. Poor kitty.

    The dreams mean that you love your cat, and there's nothing wrong with loving a long lost pet! I do agree with 'mysistershadow' though, another pet might help. Not to replace your cat, but to give you someone else to love? Your cat is very lucky to have had an owner like you, to still love and miss her after all these years
