Tonya, I know, I feel the same way. But I did
go and see Sonya Fitzpatrick at a talk she was giving, and I was
impressed. It was not so much by her story, which I had heard before,
but by her deep sense of compassion, her positive way of thinking about our
furry loved ones, and how interested she was in people in the audience and the
stories they were wanting to share. Her energy is very calming and
positive, I really felt like she was on the up and up. I believe that she was given a gift, and I really felt that
she was in tune with how animals sense energy.
I'm also a big fan of Cesar Millan, the famous
Dog Whisperer, and he also supports that dogs sense our energy,
and the emotions we emit transfer to them. So I think that there is a
lot of truth in what these people have tapped into.
I found it true also when I was doing wildlife
rehabilitation, and had baby squirrels that I raised to release. I found
more sick/injured and dead adult wild squirrels in my yard than I think was
normal. Why? I think it is because they sensed my energy and
my concern for helping squirrels. I think they came to my yard
looking for help.

Sandy, I know there are animal communicators and I'm
kind of in the middle about whether I believe it's real or not. But
sometimes I KNOW they understand me or either I'm just crazy. I've had
too many coincidences not to question how much we do actually
communicate. Another thing, if no one's mentioned them. You might
want to try the feliway diffusers. They seem to help with my guys who
don't always get along. tonya Dudes

Nina,
I have to thank you, thank you, thank
you because I took your advice, and it's totally worked! I
did go to bed after this email, and I had a talk with Cricket! My
husband was working late, so I had the perfect opportunity to do it without
feeling silly, and I thought what the heck, I will try it.
As she sat on my chest and kneaded my neck like
she always does, I told her that she needed to be nicer to Cotton and it
makes me sad when she attacks him and I have to yell at her. I
told her what you said, that he already knew that she was a strong
girl, and that he was just a little boy, who could learn a lot from her
because she's so smart. I told her that he's sick and we might not get
to have him around for very long, and it was not good for him to feel bad
feelings, that it could make him sicker. (At this point she put her
paw on my mouth, but until what happened later, I thought it was just a
coincidence, but I now wonder if it wasn't) I kissed
her little foot, and I told her to be patient with him until he
learned to act like her-a very good girl.
Now I know that sounds like a long speech to
give a cat, but I stroked her head and talked very softly and she
looked at me the entire time. Sometimes she looked away, as if she was
hearing something uncomfortable, and some of the time she stared at me and
seemed interested in my lips moving. I felt better,
anyway.
The next day there were NO incidents of
her chasing him or stalking him. NONE! It was the first time since
he's been here. I saw her watching him at one point, and I
thanked her for being such a good big sister to him. They both looked
up at me, as did Miss, who was nearby. I could just
swear that she puffed up a little and put her tail a little higher,
and looked very pleased with herself!
We have not had another incident of
chasing/ambushing/batting heads since. Even when Cotton took a
playful swat at her with outstretched paw, claws out as she walked
by. She just stopped for a minute and stared at him, but I could
see her ear cocked at me, like she thought I might say something. She
didn't do a thing, she just walked on. Unless I'm imagining things,
she totally got it.
Anybody else ever talk to their cats and SWEAR
they understand?
PEACE is nice. I'm so happy that we have
some. :) Sandy

Re: 20 CATS...
Sometimes I'll shame them into being nicer... You
know, something like, Cricket, Cotton knows how tough you are, it's not
necessary to be so firm! Be nice to your little brother and Cotton,
you respect Cricket, she has a lot to teach you.
