Black Cats
February 22, 2017
I have had the pleasure of working with a few black cats. One thing that is interesting is that they carry a stigma of being black. Really! They do. The first time I heard a cat tell me this during a session I was kind of shocked. I did not think much of the idea of being scared of a black cat, black cat crossing your path; witches have black cats and so on. I mean really, we are in 2017 and isn’t that a thing of the past? The black cat being bad luck idea is still held by, well, black cats.
I worked with a black cat that was sort of a rescue. He had been someone’s kitty, then he somehow ended up outside without out a home. Then someone took him in for a while and put him up for adoption. My client, the kitty’s new mom contacted me because this poor kitty would NOT come out of his hiding place under the couch. At night though, he would come out to eat and drink. During the day though he was nowhere to be found. His new mom was concerned. She thought he might not be happy. His response was to give him time. He said that he was kind of scared that his new home was too good to be true. And he felt that he might be moving to a new home soon, because he had trust issues. During our communication session he learned that he was at his forever home. His new mom was so kind. She bought him a kitty condo, good food, toys, and treats. He began to understand that he was loved for who he was, a black cat.
During a session where I connect with the pet, I do a meditation called Living in the Heart. When I begin the meditation I hold the image of the pet the owner has sent me in my heart space. The pet directs me how to hold his picture and we connect. When I connected with this black cat, he showed me that in a different life, he’d been a black panther and in that life, he only came out of night. He also liked to hang out high in a tree.
I had two sessions with this cat and his owner. In the second session he showed me that he had another life where he’d been a different black panther. In his current life he seemed to be hanging on to the notion that he was still a black panther. During this session he realized that he was a house cat, and although he was black, he was domestic and did not have to be nocturnal, nor did he have to hunt for his food.
This is not the first time an animal has been hanging on to other lives. I’ve worked with horses that had lives as winged horses. The remnants or energy left over from these wings often cause issues like difficulties with saddle fitting, problems in the withers and sorry for the pun, flightiness.
This cat really began to understand that he was no longer a wild cat. He was not feral. He had a nice home with nice humans. He was in a place that he could trust he would be safe and there he would stay for the remainder of this life. Now that’s a nice ending to a story isn’t it?
Another black cat I worked with has issues of bearing unworthy because he was black. He felt the stigma from centuries of judgment of being bad luck, and although his owner said that she did not feel that way at all, he clearly had absorbed the feeling throughout the years and lives he’d had as a black cat. Sometimes these creatures continue being the same type of cat over and over. It’s not always easy being black they say, but in this case of this particular cat, he knew that he was loved because he was black and his owner loved him very much. After his session, he understood that even though he was black and felt badly about it, his owner loved him for who he was. She would keep him safe from harm in her loving home. This communication session allowed the cat to understand that he was safe and loved. Another good ending hey?
