According to author Ted Andrews of Animal Speaks, cats  wild or domestic have certain qualities in common.  They are associated with myth and lore, magic and
 mystery.  Nine lives, curiosity, independence, cleverness, unpredictability and healing.  Those with this medicine should also study its color, size and breed for a
 deeper understanding.

Cats have more rods in the retinas of their eyes which enable them to see effectively in the dark.  The dark is often associated with mankind's fears.  Since the car is at home in the dark, it serves as a valuable ally into the world of the supernatural and the unknown and can help those with this totem move through their fears efficiently.

The energy field of a cat rotates is a counterclockwise direction, the opposite of a human energy field.  Because of this, cats have the ability to absorb and neutralize energy that affects humans in a negative way.  This is part of the healing medicine that the cat holds.

If something affects you in a negative way place a cat on your lap or find a cat to pet.  Your energy field will immediately realign itself and inner balance will be restored.

Because of their x-ray vision, acute hearing and high intelligence they were used throughout history as guardians and protectors.  In ancient Egypt cats guarded the temple gates and were used to ward off evil.

If cat appears in your life the blending of magic and mystery is at hand.  A trustworthy teacher, the cat will guide you into the world of self discovery and transformation.
