CAT DETECTIVE
I recently did a distant Reiki treatment for the search of a lost cat by, Kim Freeman, the “Cat Detective”, whose assistant is her cat Henry. http://www.keyetv.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/cat-detective-helps-owners-find-beloved-pets-19384.shtml

“Your Reiki must be strong because the reunion was wonderful,” Kim reported.

Overweight Foodie
Orion Endorses Scratching Post from Sisal Rugs Direct

| Go to it Goldie! Fitness, less food |
One
of the questions was about a cat who was an overweight foodie. She lived to
eat. “You put out the food,” I
said to the guardian. “Feed less, and she’ll eat less.” I told him to give
smaller feedings with more fiber, maybe some low caloric vegies mixed in with
her food. Melon might entice her. Change her focus with enthusiastic play. She
might welcome a brushing. Attention is a must. I told him that his cat might be
eating out of frustration. Love and attention can outweigh her need for food,
but he must be sincere or she’ll “feel” the difference. “You can do it,” I
said, “Your chubette will be healthier and happier.” Don’t make her a candidate
for diabetes or any other disability.
Outrageous but Creative Behavior
Why
does my cat turn off the lights when I’m in the shower was another question.
“Your cat’s trying to get you to see the light,” I said. It’s the single cat syndrome. The right companion
would divert her “creativity” to her new relationship. If a companion, either
cat or dog, is out of the question, arrange play dates for her with a cat
friendly dog or perhaps she could visit a neighbor for a change of scenery or a cat loving child could spend
time with her.
Your cat’s talking
to you, his/her paws are in your court.
ORION'S CATITUDES
(Orion, a recovering feral rescue, gives his cat-speak on cat and other issues)
Orion Endorses Scratching Post from Sisal Rugs Direct
You Can’t Declaw With Love is an issue I wrote about in my first book -- Cats Prefer It This Way -- pub. date 1976. My viewpoint has not changed. There is a way your cat can keep his claws if you give him/her support with the right encouragement, training, posts and scratch pads he/she can accept and respect.

Checking out his new post from Sisal Rugs Direct

Orion has a new sisal post that he endorses which is made by Sisal Rugs Direct. See Natural Cat Products at
This is a company in Minnesota that’s eco-friendly. They use remnants of their sisal rugs for the posts. That alone deserves a shout-out. Take a look at Orion and his new post.
