You aren't nuts. I have too many friends who smudge (use sage the way you
described). It is common in Native American cultures and even some Christian
religions (using incense at funerals etc). It is definitely worth the
effort---most of my friends try to get white sage and it has a wonderful odor.
They also believe in burning candles of various colors. I think green attracts
health.........a Google search for the meaning of candle colors would give this
information.
If nothing else, you may feel like you are doing something. And that may make
you feel better.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

I was thinking, while it won't heal the cats...maybe it would clear away
whatever was keeping her from accurately diagnosing the problem???

This is too cool. I'm not a big believer in new age stuff myself, but I am
totally willing to accept that there may be forces at work in nature that
respond to nontraditional methods such as Laura's. And in any case, unless
someone's allergic to sage or whatever the particular substance is for the job
at hand, it couldn't hurt! LOL re the harpie!

Kelly,
Unfortunately, I don't have a CLUE as to what is making your cats so ill.
I WISH I had an ACTUAL answer tho for you. You are in my prayers, as are
your cats.
Rest assured I'm certain, whatever is happening, isn't your fault. When
you deal with alot of animals, the odds will catch up with you sooner or later.
I only have one suggestion, kinda a last ditch:
"what-the-hell-it-might-not-help, -but -it -can't- hurt -thing".
Now mind you, I'm REALLY NOT a new-age-y type person, but a young girl I
shared an office with once was. Our team was having a HUGE run of
bad-luck...misplaced paper work, unexplained dropped projects & contracts, dead
beat clients, poor communication between the project manager and the
prototypers, continual run of illness-non-stop and a project manager who
stalked around screaming at people like a skitzoid-harpie.
Laura brought dry sage in one day, set it lightly smoldering (just so it
smoked-no flame) and starting from the far windowless side of the office
outlined the walls, pushing forward towards the door like she was moving a
solid invisible wall. ("Chases away bad vibes/spirits" was her explanation, to
which I remember thinkin' "ok, SHE'S nuts!") Once she moved the sage to the
door, ("pushing everything bad out"), she drew an "x" across the door frame,
tampered the smoke and pinned the sage above the door jamb. Not five minutes
later, our Harpie-isc manager comes flying into the common area outside our
office, in a rage heading our way, turns like she's bee-lining it into yell at
us, and I SWEAR, she stopped dead in her tracks at the door frame, looked
around all confused, muttered something along the lines of not remembering why
she had come to our office, and skulked away! We all started roaring with
laughter, I apologized to Laura, who repeated her "cleansing" of our office
whenever things started to go bad...and Ms. Harpie NEVER stepped foot into our
office again. Laura's advice to me: "When the unexplainable is raining down on
you, try remedies that can't be explained."
Ok, now you all think I'm nuts, BUT, I've tried it from time to time,
outside of work, and it, for a reason known only to God, seems to work.
God Bless, Good luck,
T
