Dear Readers,
The Egyptians have long appreciated and celebrated the “cat” as an exquisite being, have given us the gift of the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but now their gift of “peace” to Egypt and the rest of the world is long over due.

A Free Consultation With The Cat Therapist
Reiki Is A Healing experience:
Carole’s Take on Oscar The Cat Who .....
THE MESSAGE IS IN THE SUBTEXT
My Orion clearly
appears to appreciate this image, but knowing Orion, my feeling is that his
feeling is that the cat and the lion should be transposed. Think about it!
THE OTHER WAY AROUND
COOKIE AND THE SHOP CAT
Whenever Cookie’s guardians visit the liquor store, Cookie props himself up on the counter to get as close as he can to the shop cat. Apparently, Cookie is not a threat. A shop cat has usually seen and heard it all. As for Cookie, he has fine voyeur taste, and could be that they will one day deign to touch noses.
MATILDA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
EDIE’S SURGERY (Spindle Cell Carcinoma)
Several
months ago I did a behavioral and Reiki stress reduction, relaxation session
for Edie. She was scheduled for surgery to remove a spindle cell carcinoma from
her front right leg. It was to be a long surgery because massive tissue would
have to be removed to prevent a proliferation to Edie’s lungs. Her surgery was
a success. Lucky Edie healed quickly.
Edie’s post surgery x-rays showed no residual or new spindle cells. You’ll notice she wore a cone so she couldn’t disturb her incision.
Her latest check up was a-okay, and Edie’s Emily and Alan gave a vigorous high-five.
EDIE’S TREATMENT PLAN
Her latest check up was a-okay, and Edie’s Emily and Alan gave a vigorous high-five.
EDIE’S TREATMENT PLAN
- When I gave Edie her session, I emphasized how pain management would be a huge source for her comfort.
- She would need to be crated while she recovered to control her activity. A cat-friendly heating pad to soothe her body, lavender oil of essence to enhance her sense of scent, and the musical CD of her session would ease all of her senses.
- I would treat Edie with distant Reiki, which would include doing mental symbols before and on the day of her surgery.
- Emily and Adam should do some fun things to nurture themselves. Edie would mirror and embrace their pleasure.
- They should frequently tell Edie how well she's healing, and how her chic cone becomes her. And how extraordinary she is!
- They should give me a progress report within a week or before if there were any questions.
So Edie
is now all healed. Emily and Alan are so relieved. But Emily has one regret.
During Edie’s recovery, she slept with them and curled up in their midst, but
usually slept on Emily. Never before did Edie tuck in with them at bedtime and
stay the night. And now that she’s recovered, she’s once again their interlude
bed companion. Edie’s her independent self.
“Emily,
you were Edie’s security cushion,” I said.
Also, they noticed she was a bit disoriented when her cone was removed.
“Sounds like it was a postpartum reaction,” I said.
I also told them that Edie would really benefit with the introduction of the very right kitten or cat-mate. They would too. Edie would slowly lose her fear of intimacy, and her trust instinct would increase. I could help them find her new companion, and they could use my introduction. (Refer to my July-August Blog.)

Edie’s
recovery is another example of all’s well that ends well.
LILY MOVES IN

| Lily |
The
rain was pouring down when Lily made her move on to the covered porch. Until
that decisive moment, she’d been hanging around their house -- untouchable.
That was two years ago. She was
now a member of the family’s catdom. Of the three other cats, Lily preferred
Simon who was eight, three years her senior. As for people companionship, she
was “Daddy’s” little cat. The feeling was mutual. With four cats and four
people, four was the
perfect number.

Then there was Sunny. When I
was contacted to do a behavioral session, Sunny was frequently urinating in
“spots” other than the three litter boxes. Find out more about Sunny, her
treatment and her cat-mates in my October Blog.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IN THE WHITE HOUSE
(Orion, a former rescue, will represent cats and offer nuggets of wisdom regarding Bo, the rescued First Dog -- a Portuguese Water Dog.)
EXTRA, EXTRA -- READ
ALL ABOUT THEM!
Bo has
a dog-mate. Yes, Sunny, a 14-month old spayed female who looks like Bo. She’s
not from a shelter, but the Obamas made a donation to the Washington Humane
Society to welcome Sunny’s arrival.
My Orion now has a duo to counsel.
For starters, Sunny can partner with Bo as poster pup for the First Lady's campaign Let's Move to solve childhood obesity and the President's campaign against Breed-specific Legislation.
