One of the greatest gifts we can share with our pets is a relationship rooted in trust, understanding, and emotional connection. My cat, Ceelo, tested this bond on one unforgettable day a few years ago.

Ceelo, who has always been confident and grounded, had never climbed a tree until one day when his survival instinct kicked in. A neighbour's dog chased and treed him. I found him 20 feet up our huge fur tree, clinging to a branch and meowing for help.

I asked (animal communication) if he felt he could get himself down. He hesitated but said he could try and turned to face headfirst toward the ground. My heart jumped. "No, Ceelo!" I called out, “That's not the way down. Go to that big branch to your right and rest there!” He listened, found the sturdy branch to straddle, and sat like a rider on a horse. (Ceelo is a large cat, and those gave him the relief of clinging to the tree)

Humans are masters of blocking, avoiding and living in our heads/thoughts and worry. We must give our pets credit for helping us take accountability for our emotions!

Behavioural issues are not always what they seem! They can be caused by physical pain, emotional issues, rescue trauma, abuse, injury, fear, misunderstanding, trying to get our attention, and mirroring of their person, just to name a few. Animal communication can make it easier to get to the root of the behaviour and discover why they are acting the way they are.

The only thing for certain is that an animal's behaviour always makes perfect sense to them!
