I’m seriously considering paying an animal communicator has anyone done this?

[crouton]

I know it sounds nuts but I’m at my wits end with an issue. Have tried multiple doctors, behaviorists, specialists everything. So I just wonder what my cat is thinking during this behavior and so there is the thought for these ‘animal communicators” or empaths that claim to be able to connect with animals.
Am I nuts? Maybe but honestly this is slowly killing me from stress and the communicator is a last resort.

has anyone else done this for a living pet (not pet psychics) ? Or do you know someone who has?

it’s not a big investment so I mean I’m not losing a lot. But I’m skeptical. Didn’t know where else to put this thread.

I have. I did it about 15 years ago for a then GSD who had degenerative myelopathy and was being treated at a full service hospital which included a lot of alternative therapies. I should disclose that I am not particularly spiritual or religious, so I was quite skeptical but interested. The woman who came to my house was impressive, as I shall add momentarily. However, a few months later the hospital had an evening with another psychic who was going to train people to become able to communicate with their pets and, frankly, she was a train wreck.

So....I am not sure that it brought anything really to light that I did not know or corrected anything. The dog in question was the sweetest boy and had never done a thing wrong in his life after I rescued him from a horrific situation....so it was not behavioral. The psychic asked for no information about him at all prior to coming to my house. I made a point of removing anything in the house that might help her to do a cold reading....no pics on the wall, nothing personal around, no jewelry on, etc. Yes, there is a piano in the living room, but if she went down the "I sense someone is musical" road I would have shown her out.

She knew things, but then they do say that it is possible that information does move in the zero point field. My dog, the GSD and his sidekick, apparently informed her that their favorite blanket was in the bedroom and they wanted it back, that I had stopped buying their favorite treat and described the container to her, and the GSD specifically complained that his friend was not controlling the wildlife in the backyard as he had and that things were going to hell in a handbasket which was also actually true. The GSD also told her that he was happy we had moved from the other house, near the site of his rescue, because it made him uneasy to still live there. They also asked why I had stopped putting the clear cold window pieces in their water (ice evidently).

She was "interrupted" by a couple of my previous dogs, one of whom wanted to tell me that he loved me but that his death was premature and it was not his time to go. He had died during a surgery that I had authorized against my better judgment but it was not at this hospital and no one at this place even knew that story. My longest lived dog came by to tell me that it was her time to have gone and that she thanked me for helping her make the transition.

Some things got general but I suppose that is par for the course. I did not pay a lot and I was skeptical but it was interesting and did make me think about part of life that we may not yet understand. If you do this, in your case, I would ask for help with what you want, whatever is going on with behavior. Don't answer your own questions though and let them communicate with the cat and see what he has to say.

I do have to say that I think there is a lot we don't know about how animals communicate and view the world. Fiona herself appears to have an incredible ability to read my mind...maybe it was body language. But I could be in the kitchen drinking coffee thinking that I needed to put Revolution on her and she would simply hide for the rest of the day.

Thanks. I’m glad I’m not alone in this. In my case the cat in question rolls in dirty (and clean) litter boxes.
No skin issues, no health issues, no pee issues except that she constantly gets pee on herself when urinating and has to be wiped off this is from the way she squats, behavior folks are no help.
I’ve honestly tried everything over time and nothing stops it. I keep a log of how she’s acting, eating, if she wants brushing or plays more, toilet habits, etc and there is no rhyme or reason as to when she does it.
I’m just so disgusted that she won’t stop and I no longer feel clean in my own home since she does this overnight and then comes into my bed or on furniture.
I need to know why she does it before I die of stress.
Honestly everything anyone suggests, I’ve tried it over time. Even got her clothes and a thundershirt. She likes the clothes but still rolls in dirty litter and refuses to clean herself off ever. She only cleans her toes

Have you posted this problem in other forums here? There still might be some non psychic help that others could give. Litter boxes are tricky and there are lots of queries about them.

As for the psychic, if you can afford it, and it is not unreasonable in price, it is one more piece to the puzzle.

I’ve read everyone’s suggestions here to others and posted on other forums. No one dealing with this has ever successfully curbed it it seems. I’m at my wits end.

I made a separate post rehashing everything just in case, thanks

Has she always done this?

 

[MoonstoneWolf]

I did but nothing was accurate. And she was supposedly a very well known animal communicator. Personally I would save my money and ask feline behaviorist (like Jackson Galaxy type) instead. While I believe there are some that can communicate with animals, I would think for something like this it's best to not gamble on the psychic and find a vet first, feline behaviorist second and animal communicator last (like the very last resort) as a lot of these so called communicators are scam artists. I did just read it can be related to some medical problem as well like urinary tract infection or worse. Not something you would want to mess around with or ignore in the event the situation is the cat's call for help.

With all the above said, I do believe it is possible that you can learn to communicate with your pet, just like the animal communicators can. It takes time but you know your cat or dog better then someone you give money to. Straight From the Horses Mouth is a good book. You can read it, try it and decide it for yourself but again I would first go to a vet and look for some medical condition before doing anything else. I'm not giving medical advice as I'm not a vet, but pointing out that you could be overlooking a medical condition that the cat needs help with and that can only come from a Vet. And then again you may just have a cat that likes to roll around in litter but only a vet can tell you that, not an animal communicator.

BTW this was brought up once before on the forums and I found this for you.

I've never used an animal communicator, but the topic has come up in the past.

Here's a couple older threads on the topic, if you're interested.

Thanks I tried many behaviorists and contacting Jackson himself (no answer from them) and no one has any suggestions that work. She’s seen various vets, no health issues. We’ve asked other vets as well and none have any answers.

I read all the previous posts and posted myself last night, nothing in the previous threads helped us either. I’m at my wits end.

 

[MoonstoneWolf]

Actually Norachan gave some really good advice on the other post. She's very knowledgeable about that sort of thing. If there is no health issues then it may be just a quirk or she just likes laying in the litter box. If you're looking for an inexpensive cam to set outside to watch what's going on Wyze cams at Wyze dot com is good and only $20. A lot of us here have them. Or you can find the same cam at Chewy, PetSmart and Home Depot.

Did you ask on Jackson's FB page? Or even access his website?

Yes I did, I don’t use fb so no to that route but I went to his website and such and contacted them. Incidentally the same way I contacted them to complain about the litter hes now hawking, they responded to my litter complaint but radio silence on the other request. Ive heard from other cat owners on other forums with the same issue that they also did not hear back from him.

We already have outdoor cams, the most we get is a squirrel in a tree, or bunnies in the garden in spring summer (we live in a snowy climate)

She never puffs up or is angry when she does it. Also the way our house is right now a catio enclosure isn’t an option, and like I said our climate is cold.

She doesn’t just lay in the litter box and relax. She goes in, stretches into a deep downward dog pose, then drops down and rubs her neck on the litter before somersaulting over and rolling around quite a few times. Then she pops up with wide eyes, looks around, and usually either pees or poops in that box or just goes to another box to pee or poop.

Thanks for the links for some reason I didn’t see them when searching. I know this idea is insane but I feel hopeless with my cat coated in litter.

Although I'm not sure if I believe in their abilities or not, in your case, if you can afford to spend the money, it really can't hurt to give it a try. If you do, let us know how it goes.

I've always been interested in animal communication. I've watched a lot of videos & class like videos on YouTube.
Two that I really like, & prove to be legitimate, from learning things that they'd no way know, unless communicated from the pet. (Said by the pet parents).
The 2 I like are Laura Stinchfielf & Danielle MacKinnon.
I've recently thought about contacting a local one for an issue I've been having with a cat that was an outside stray/ friendly ferral ( after a couple months work to get him to trust me). Who now comes inside to eat, play, hang out, & has spent the night a few times.
I've worked on & experimented with communication w/ him a little, & got an easy question answered. His age. But this issue is more a behavioral one,& beyond my ability of experimentation.
I say go for it. But as others have suggested, I'd tell as little as possible, etc.. to get a true reading. I'd go by referrals so you know you're getting someone true.
Gayle Naste is one I I get monthly news letters from. I believe I learned about her from an old site member yrs ago. She also has a book on Amazon. She's the real deal. She recently lost her dog to cancer, so not sure if she's taking any new clients right now, but worth looking into.
I hope that helps. Keep us posted.

I have used an animal communicator for years. She is fabulous. She has helped me so much in integrating my 7 cats as well as my dog when she was quite sick.

I did it, with two different communicators. The first wouldn't do it without talking to me first and it seemed like she was pumping me. She also got kind of annoyed when she was telling me what she found and I kept saying no no no to something.

The second one seemed more spot on, and I've had her do sessions several times, but.she's only accepting new clients if they are referred to her

What were your sessions for? Behavioral like me or a deceased pet?

 

[misty8723]

Some were for deceased pets. Some were just to find out what was going on with them, not behaviorial, health wise. I do believe there are people who can do it, it's just hard to know which ones are legitimate. I would try it, you have nothing to lose, as long as you can afford the sessions.

 

[shadowsrescue]

Mine have been for a variety of reasons: Overall health check, behavior issues, sick animal and deceased pet. The lady I use does it all. She also doesn't have a limit on the number or animals per session. I have 7 cats and do an hour at a time and do my best to check in with all.
