Has this ever happened to you? You have a vet appointment for your cat and she is NO WHERE to be found.

Your cat has magically disappeared - apparently into thin air.

Can animal communication help with the 'case of the disappearing cat'? It can indeed. Communicating with your cat exactly what is going on and why it is happening will often begin to put the cat more at ease about the entire experience. The earlier you start telling her about the appointment and the more frequently you talk with her about the appointment, the easier it will be for all involved.

Here are some tips that may minimize the risk of your cat doing her disappearing act:

• Explain what’s going on either verbally or mentally to your cat, whichever way feels more comfortable to you.  She will pick up on it.
• Stay calm and focused when talking to the cat.  Image the cat calmly waiting in their favorite spot.
• Be up front with your cat about the appointment.  Even before you make the call, tell the cat what you will be doing, why you are making the appointment.  Is it for a yearly checkup? Tell the cat.  Is it because your cat has allergies?  Focus on the point the vet intends to ease their discomfit, wants to help them feel more comfortable.
• The vet is most probably not your cat’s favorite place to go.  Acknowledge this.  Do not try to ‘sweet-coat’ the trip.  Animals are very tuned into us and are aware when our words are not congruent with our feelings.
• If you find yourself in the position of running late, let your cat know you are running late.  Ask for her help in getting back on time by being in their favorite place when you get home, ready to go.

By calming yourself and imaging the projected outcome to your cat, you will in time find your cat becomes calmer, ready to help you any way she can.  The case of the disappearing cat is solved, and you have a cat who is willing to show herself and be with you!

Every day just seems like Valentine’s Day when you can enjoy life with your beloved animal companions. This Tuesday, February 14^th, is really Valentine’s Day, and on Talk2theAnimalsRadio we are celebrating that pets are really the heart of the matter.

My guests on this special show are Therese Kopiwoda and Sid Korpi and we will be talking about matters of the heart when it comes to pets. Therese is the owner of PetsitUSA, a leading online directory of professional pet sitters, dog walkers and dog daycares as well as a Pet Tech pet first aid instructor. Therese shares ways to keep your pet’s heart healthy.

Sid Korpi is an animal chaplain and author of the book Good Grief: Finding Peace After Pet Loss.  Surviving a “tsunami of loss” in her own life led to her discovery of spiritual truths that brought her strength and facilitated her heart’s healing. She felt compelled to share these things with others who suffer — often in isolation — from the passing on of their very dearest nonhuman friends, their pets.  Coping with grief is not about forgetting your beloved animal companion, but incorporating that experience into your life.

Also on the show Talk2theAnimalsRadio holistic pet wellness expert Shannon Benecke shares a holistic tip from the heart on pet wellness for your beloved companion.

Tune in to Talk2theAnimalsRadio on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 8PM CST to hear this heart centered show! Not to worry if you can’t tune in live, the show will be archived both on the show page and at iTunes.  Remember to ‘like’ us as you are listening to the show!

This morning, before the coffee had finished brewing and before I had put my glasses on, I was perusing FaceBook and found a post from Jenny Pavlovic of 8 State Hurricane Kate fame.  Jenny said a woodchuck had gotten under her truck and she was asking about the significance of woodchuck.

What a great way to start the day and to incorporate the wisdom of animals in your life! First you notice the animal, and then find out what the animal signifies.

Woodchuck, also known as groundhog, speaks of the following:

• Getting to new areas of interest: are you entering a new time of studying, building?
• Hibernation: is it time (regardless of the season) to pull back and reflect?
• Rebirth: what is it time to let go of?

Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small by Ted Andrews, is a magnificent reference book to have on hand as you are studying and learning about the animals.  It helps you to identify and meet your own animal helpers, those animals that will guide you through the everyday of your life.  It is also a comprehensive dictionary of more than 100 different animals, birds, reptiles and insects, giving you basic as well as symbolic and historic information on the animal.  I highly recommend this book as a fundamental in your own library.  True confessions here: My copy is well worn and well loved, but it’s never where I need it.  I have been considering getting two more copies…..one for the car and one for the upstairs, leaving my original copy in the office! That way I will always have one on hand when I need it. If only there was a digital copy for my computer…..

What animal is reaching out to you today? Remember: U2CanTalk2theAnimals!

Hear that calling: ‘jaay-jaay’? That’s because Blue Jay is the animal of the week here at Talk2theAnimals, and Blue Jay is calling for your attention.  Blue Jay is related to Crow, so he’s not shy when he wants you to pay attention to him.

Blue Jay connects the Sky, represented by his blue color, the Heavens, represented by the white, and Earth, represented by the black on his feathers.  Blue Jay reminds us we are able to connect with Sky, Heaven and Earth if we desire.  One way to do this is by integrating spiritual practices in our everyday, mundane, physical world.

Because, like Blue Jay, we can connect to both the spiritual and physical, we need to be aware of not becoming too scattered, but staying focused on what is at hand.  We need to be aware when ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’ begins to creep into our lives.

Blue Jay is fearless and has no qualms about harassing and/or driving hawks and owls away.  We can call on Blue Jay’s courage when needed.

Questions to ask when Blue Jay appears:

• Where am I too scattered/distracted?
• What areas would be beneficial for me to explore more deeply?
• What fears do I have?

Thank you, Blue Jay, for coming forward and calling out your wisdom.  You have much to teach, we have much to learn from you if we only open our senses.  For this we are grateful.

If you like stories about dragons, elves, humans and halfbloods, you’re really going to enjoy The Elvenbane (Halfblood Chronicles, Bk. 1).  I started reading it as summer fun, deck reading, and I was quickly amazed at the different underlying thoughts and philosophies that were woven underneath the main story.  Yes, you have dragons and fire, elves and magic, halfbloods and wizards, dragons talking to halfbloods and so on.

This is the concept that truly fascinated me: the elven kept the humans as pets. It gave me a rude awakening as to how pets are still considered in society.  Made me think about the word ‘pet’. I’ll be writing more about that in a future post.

This book itself is magical: it can be a fun summer read, it can take you away to fantasy land, or it can stir up your mind and open your eyes.  Your choice.

Click on the link to purchase The Elvenbane (Halfblood Chronicles, Bk. 1).  After you’ve read it, leave your comments and let me know your thoughts. It will be fascinating to hear what you think of the book!

Prepare for fun, prepare for a good time, because our buddy Otter is visiting us this week!

Now just look at Otter’s picture…..don’t you already feel a smile coming to your face? 

Otter brings joy on all levels, inner, outer, spiritual, physical.  While Otter is attentive to all things which ask for his attention, he is not overwhelmed by them, nor does he take them too seriously.

Whether it’s earth or water, Otter feels at home in both elements.  Take a minute to playfully look at your environment: do you feel comfortable in more than one element?

Otter helps us to be children, no matter our age.  Otter would like us to remember (these are his words): “Remember that you are all children at heart.  So many of you humans play at being an adult, meaning you are acting like you think adults should act.  Where did that come from? (shaking his head) We otters have lots of fun AND we do what we need to do, as we need to do it. But we do it with a light heart, a light Spirit.  What happened to your light Spirit?”

Questions to ask when Otter shows up:

• Am I working too hard?
• Am I being called to be more creative?
• What’s my light Spirit up to these days?

If you’re ready to lighten your burdens, create more freedom in your life, have a good time and discover delight and joy in life, call on Otter.  Otter is ready and willing to help you find fun!

Thank you Otter,  for your guidance and leadership, we delight in your presence with us!  For this and all you are, we are grateful.

Harmony,

Janet Roper
