In the past few weeks I have noticed two of our cats exhibiting strange behavior. At least strange behavior for them...but not for our recently departed Rascal. There were three things that I have commented on about Rascal that I missed, even though they could be aggravating at times.
Every morning, like clockwork, he would pull the towel back from the bottom of the door (we use it to block out light and noise), stick his nose under the door, and meow very loud to wake me up. Then, by the time I would be able to get out of bed to yell at him, there would be no cats anywhere to be seen. I would crawl back in bed and a few minutes later it would happen again. SO irritating! About 2 weeks ago our little Shadow has begun doing the same thing.
Another thing that I used to get a laugh out of is that whenever I was in the bathroom and would flush the toilet, Rascal would put his front feet up on the toilet and literaly stick his head inside the toilet to watch the water go down. Now, Shadow has begun doing the same thing (she never saw him do this because the door was always shut with just me and him in the bathroom).
The last thing I have noticed is the infuriating habit Rascal had of being vocal. He would walk through the house from one end to the other talking to anyone that would listen. If you meowed back at him, his tail and head wouild go straight up and he would come running to you just as proud as could be. Now, Midnight has begun doing the same thing...except for the last part. Instead, he just continues to walk back and forth through the house and meow at the top of his lungs.
It seems to me that Rascal is letting us know that he is still here. What do you think?

I totally agree with you, cats are incredibly psychic and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find your Rascal is turning his friends into 'rascals', this must be really lovely for you
