Short answer: Yes
Unrelated wild animal story:
One time at a party I was sitting like sad Keanu at the bottom of the steps leading up to the back porch. There was a squirrel about 15 feet away and he was just staring at me. I picked up a wine cork that was laying on the ground next to me and offered it to the squirrel. He walked over to me and grabbed the cork from my outreached hand and nodded and ran up a tree with it.
Sometimes nature can be pretty cool.

Yea I think karma is real. Not like in a mystical sense, like there is something out in the universe controlling it all, but it's kind of like do good things and good things happen. What happened to OP, however, I do not believe is karma. Like that one guy said, cats are pretty smart, he could tell you were down and decided to be nice to you.

I'm a pretty nice guy and shitty shit happens to me all the time. Then when I'm an asshole, shittier things happen to me.
So I'm pretty fucked all around.
seriously though, when a thought becomes a proverb, there must be something to it.
"What goes around, comes around."
it's a permutation of the Golden Rule.
as soon as the gun panic of 2013 dies down, I've got things to buy from Blunt.

Sorry for your loss OP, Simba sounded cool, My cats tangled with a raccoon, and all I got was a fucking huge vet bill.
I think Sleeve was onto something too, animals are super intuitive in my experience and pick up on things you just wouldn't believe! Karma as a cosmic force yes or no? I almost want to say "yes" What goes around comes around seems very real to me...enough that I really try to make sure not to fuck other people over at all now...

Absolutely. And as corny as it might sound, Raj nailed it one time on an episode of The Big Bang Theory.
"It's not mumbo-jumbo, it's practically Newtonian. For every action, there is a reaction".
You do good things, good things come back to you. You act like a dick and treat people like shit, do mean-spirited things, and have negativity in your soul, that's what comes back. Period.

We asked listeners to send us their best coincidence stories, and we got more than 1,300 submissions!
According to NPR this has been verified.
lake Oliver is living in Nicaragua right now. We talked on Skype. About four months ago, he was on the phone to his friend Camille, who goes by Cami. He mentioned to her that the screensaver on his iPhone had been the same picture for a long time, that he wanted to change it.
Blake Oliver
So I asked her to just send me a picture of something. And it was really funny. She ended up sending me this picture of her as little kid as a joke. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's kind of funny. It's not what I was expecting, but that's funny. And then I glanced back at the picture, and I saw my grandma walking through behind her.
Sarah Koenig
What?
Blake Oliver
Yeah. How crazy is that, right?
Sarah Koenig
Very crazy. The picture was taken about 18 years ago.
Sarah Koenig
But you recognized her right away?
Blake Oliver
Oh, absolutely. There's no question that was Grandma Joyce. It was without question Grandma Joyce.
Sarah Koenig
Coincidences like this one usually have a dense nest of details to bolster their craziness. Here goes. Blake is from Michigan. That's where he met Camille. But Camille's family isn't from Michigan at all.
Blake Oliver
They're originally from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Sarah Koenig
That's where she grew up?
Blake Oliver
Yeah, that's where she grew up.
Sarah Koenig
Was this photo from Utah?
Blake Oliver
No. And that's the funny thing, is my grandma lives in Melbourne, Florida. And I'm thinking, oh, she must have been in Utah and walked past it. And Cami's like, no, that picture was taken in Parksville, Vancouver Island, in Canada.
Sarah Koenig
What?
Blake Oliver
Yeah, right?
Sarah Koenig
Blake figured out that at the same time that Cami and her family were on vacation in Vancouver, Grandma Joyce had gone there to visit some of her husband's relatives.
Blake Oliver
Like, what are the chances to think that not only did I meet Cami, but she sends me this picture of her in the background, of my grandma?
Sarah Koenig
I don't know what the chances are. Minuscule!
Blake Oliver
It's insane. Right?
Sarah Koenig
Yes.
Blake Oliver
It's crazy. I don't know if you've seen the picture, but not only just in the picture, but perfectly behind her.
Sarah Koenig
At that moment, a fellow producer emailed me the photo. And there it was, cute four-year-old Cami in the foreground, facing the camera, and not far behind her, a blonde woman walking past wearing blue shorts and a matching top.
Blake Oliver
Yeah, and she has no idea she's in the picture even.
Sarah Koenig
Yeah, right.
Blake Oliver
No clue.
Sarah Koenig
She doesn't seem aware. But I have to say, it's not a very crisp photo. I'm sort of surprised you would recognize her right away.
Blake Oliver
Well, yeah, there's not a lot of-- it's my grandma. I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't have quoted that, it was pretty long.
