It’s The Crazy Cats or Me!
Back to Our Hero and Heroines
So what does the energetic nature of the human-animal bond have to do with Patty, Frankie and Alexandra? The cats were mirroring Patty’s biofield. Our energy fields not only govern our mental and physical health, they create our reality. Physicists and philosophers who study the nature of reality and consciousness tell us that reality is a series of possibilities. These possibilities are made of–you guessed it–energy waves! What we focus on, what our magnetic field gives energy to, governs the frequency of those waves and how they coalesce into matter and experience. These ideas are not new-age nonsense, but are based in science. The works of brilliant researchers such as Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla have contributed to these modern theories of life.
I have come to believe that animals are not only our companions and furry friends; they walk the path of life with us to teach us who we are, and to help us stay balanced and in a state of well being. I like to think of this as the spiritual nature of animals. With careful observation, we can learn so much about ourselves. Patty went on to create a meaningful professional life that has helped so many people. Yet during her career, she was plagued with a common theme. Many of her superiors did not respect her, her work was de-valued, and colleagues took credit for her ideas. In simple terms, her professional life and work were pissed on, over and over again — just as she and her beautiful chest of drawers were.
What if Patty had known the energetic connection of the human-animal bond, and what Frankie and Alexandra were reflecting back to her? Could she have taken measures earlier in her career to break the pattern, and create a new possibility for herself? If she had known that we could influence our realities, not simply exist in them, could her professional life have been more rewarding?
Perhaps this sounds too silly to be true; just a ridiculous theory from an over zealous animal lover and energy practitioner. Perhaps. I would agree if it were one story. But having watched many stories unfold, and now being able to explain what the pattern is to the human, and what probably happened to them in the past to create it, I don’t believe it is silly at all. When I can spot the unresolved human anger by working with the aggressive animal, I know it is more than coincidence. The response is usually a look of amazement from the human. “How could you possibly know that?” they often say. “Just ask your pet,” I reply.
Patty’s story exemplifies the reason for my work. It shows us that things are not necessarily as they seem. Life can be an illusion. If animals are able to shed light on our lives, then why not other human beings? Perhaps this human-animal relationship is a model for human-human interactions. As long as there is one homeless person, there will be feral cats. As long as one child is abused, there will be cruelty toward animals. Animal welfare mirrors human welfare.
The research potential for this concept is very exciting. A multidisciplinary team of psychologists, neuroscientists, social workers, veterinarians and animal behaviorists are just a few of the professionals that can join together to look at life from an entirely different perspective. As Albert Einstein said, “One can’t solve a problem with the same thinking that created it”
Don’t worry, cat lovers, Frankie and Alexandra remained with the family, and enjoyed the rest of their lives in the great outdoors. They fulfilled their instinctive purpose for their mom, but it wasn’t apparent at the time. On behalf all humans who are learning about energy fields, and desiring a better life, I thank you Frankie and Alexandra.

add your comment »To who ever suggested Feliway many thanks.
I was at the vets about 10 days ago with one cat but asked again about our cat that sprays and pees usually several times a day. The vet said they had been trying Feliway and I said I had heard of it. He said it worked like a miracle with his son's cats.
I said anything is worth trying even thought it is expensive. The atomizer we used for two days but still had pee so we also bought the spray. We went away for 4 days and left our daughter to look after the animals in between going to work.
We have been home nearly 3 days and so far maybe saw one spot. Today nothing. This is a miracle for our house so we will see how it goes over the next month.
While we were away our daughter sprayed a little of the spray in each room and the atomizer is in the living room. I have done the same since we got back.
Whoever invented Feliway I would think will be come a millionaire, if it works they should.
The vet suggested an elderly lady whose cat keeps scatching her should try it. He was worried about the lady getting an infection so I hope it works for her.
I keep wanting to fall to sleep, not sure whether it is the heat or the Feliway. LOL

@ Sheila N Try pulling ALL dry food for your kitty. Dry food has the tendency to irritate the esophageal lining and urinary tract which then can cause inflammation so kitty gets UTI. Try only feeding wet food 2 or 3 times a day. Also, I recommend getting probiotics to sprinkle in the food so that his flora and fauna are replaced with healthy biotics. Good luck.

Did the woman in the story not possess a spray bottle with water? Actually, the cat's "owner" should have diciplined them. Would you let your child piss all over the furniture?
I'm pretty philisophical, but letting the house burn down while you meditate on the nature of the flame is just rediculous.

I wrote an earlier post asking if anyone knew about the energy relationship and through the help of another Care2 member (thanks JennyLynn!) I feel I understand better. It is not that your animal is like you but it reacts in reaction to your mood more. When I am upset or angry my new kitten goes crazy and starts attacking my older cat. Sort of what I would like to do to the person who made me made in the first place but I feel too civilized to do. The kitten doesn't know those things yet and just reacts. Well now I can control the situation a bit. I should have know because I figured out that is what the Supernanny teaches on her show but with children.

I think one of my cats is quite like me, but the other was abused before we rescued him and he is real scaried-cat, SUPER shy, nothing like me.

I have tried the cologne, I used I used Gapscent So Pink which I love. I think it stopped them peeing in that spot but found another one. Cats are not supposed to like citrus, so I use a cleaning spray with lemon in it. This doesn't always work.
I am so glad to have found this thread, at least our cats are not the only ones that do it. We always though it was just male cats but we have all female. Long to hear of something that stops them doing it. Urin Off is a very good product that takes the smell away. It can be bought on line and just by chance is shipped from a carpet shop 10 mins from where I live. At about $20 it is worth it.

This doesn't work for me. I have 2 cats and they are very different with their own personalities. So they obviously don't reflect me.

I tried the Jean Natee body cologn that was suggested to me to stop my kitty from urinating on the carpeting--a new habit after we put an addition on our home. Another one that didn't work. Any more? Yes, we've replaced the carpeting, cleaned it with enzyme cleaner with abundant furvor. And still no luck since we put on this addition. Sorry, didn't work.

I agree with the poster who said that cats (and dogs) reflect their owner's personalities. Often when non-cat people pipe up claiming that cats are standoffish or cold or other derrogatory terms, I tell them, "Not my cats." They are sociable, sweet, loving and absolutely adore me. They'd rather curl up WITH me than all alone. However they are cautious when they first meet new people - just like me.

Past Member and Melissa: When your names are mentioned in the same breath as Einstein or Tesla, then you can claim to understand what is "science" and what is not. However,you are entitled to your opinions. No disrespect intended.
