Hi Laura,
I am Cat's bf. Thank you for answering her post. Anyways, because of my allergies and asthma I do not have pets of my own. I actually do some volunteer work for this animal shelter up here in Canada - I am their webmaster (been so about the last 10 months or so) and I handle any internet-related matters. This is their website:
I do visit the shelter about once a week. I also sponsor two cats there, including one cat (Huckle) that myself and an old lady (former neighbour) used to take care of when she was a stray. We both lived next door to each other on the ground floor of this apartment. The old lady moved to the US to be with her family and decided that she wanted her cat to be taken care of, so she made arrangements to have Huckle taken to the shelter. She asked me to check up on her at the shelter and little did I know that I would become a regular visitor to the shelter, not just to visit her Huckle but ALL the cats there! I don't know, I am just drawn there - it is like an addiction. My gf jokes that I have "cats on the brain" because I think about them all the time!
In the past, I was indifferent towards cats. However I had a profound experience about 10 years ago when a cat saved my life, a cat I never saw before. It was a real cat, because I looked for it afterwards for about an hour or so to give it some cat food as my way of saying thank you. I was stroking it too.
Something about that incident just caused something to "click" within me. Later on, I moved away to another city, where I moved into a ground-floor apartment. I saw that there were cats that came around the building and I began to put food out for them. I trapped a few of them, got them spayed/neutered and then released them back into the area. I really got attached to one of them, his name was Billy. I tried to let him in but after awhile it got too bad for my health.
One night I was sleeping and I felt something touch my comforter near my leg. Somehow, I knew it wasn't a human spirit but believed it to be an animal spirit and when I opened my eyes, there was nothing there. I got up out of bed, went to the sliding door in my living room to see that Billy was sitting there and waiting on top of this heating vent thing outside and when he saw me at the window, he came running over to me. I let him inside and gave him some food. There was another time recently that I felt something touch my bed and I woke up.
Before I moved away, the humane society here helped me find some catlovers who were willing to adopt him. I brought him over there and even checked up on him another day to see how he was doing and he seemed to be adjusting just fine! However little did I know how much I would miss him. I tried to contact the couple again but unfortunately they moved away and did not leave any sort of forwarding address or phone number. I want to learn to communicate with the animals at the shelter as well as talk to Billy to see how he is doing. I want him to know that I could not keep him because of my health problems. I hope he is not upset with me.
When I think back to how close we were, it breaks my heart that I had to have him adopted, that I could not adopt him myself. One time, when he came up and laid on my lap while I was sitting at the computer, he was purring very much and he looked up at me. His eyes turned this shade of blue as he was doing so, which I found strange at the time because actually he had dark brown eyes. I think he was trying to show me that how much he loved me.
I also want to learn how to heal animals using energy. Like Cat said, I do have a number of books on animals communication and even books about animals in the spirit world.
How can I learn to communicate with animals when I don't have one of my own? At the shelter that I goto, will it be too difficult because there are so many cats there?
