My cat died the other day, she was almost 20. It's gonna take me a while to get over. I keep thinking I'll see her when I enter my room, or when I wake up.
While she was dying, I literally saw the life force leaving her body. It was like a glowing wispy smoke. I wasn't the only one who saw it, so I know it was real.
Cat's may not have the same type of soul as humans, but I think they do have souls and / or spirits.
I'd use the money to start a cat sanctuary.
