If you want to be heard—I mean really heard and understood by your cat—you’ll appreciate this story. At the end of my rope with the behavior of two kittens, I decided to try “speaking” their language. The results were incredible. (See the story below.)
First, I’d like to remind you of other writing I do about cats. I’ve written numerous articles for magazines featuring cats, for example, on cat behavior, cat care, and unusual cats, like Pallas’s cat.
I think most of you know that I currently write the Klepto Cat Mystery series. There’s so much going on now in the Klepto Cat Mystery factory that I’m bursting to share—but I’ll wait until all of our cats are lined up in a row before I spill the beans. At that time, I’ll have three major announcements to make. EXCITING!
For now, I want to remind you of my first book related to cats: Catscapades, Tales of 
Ordinary and Extraordinary Cats. This book features 35 original, cute, unbelievable, interesting true stories about cats.
For example, on page 88, there’s the story of Daisy and Katy: The Kittens Who Learned to Love This is also the story of when I learned to use visualization to communicate with cats. Yes, I actually used mindtalk to try spreading the love between two kittens who were absolutely hateful to one another.
Daisy (at about 8 months old) liked being the princess bee. And she did not appreciate my bringing home gorgeous Katy (a 4-month-old kitten). In fact, she quickly reduced the little Himalayan to dustball status. If I wanted to interact with Katy, I had to drag her out from under a piece of furniture. One night the kittens woke me with their growls and high-pitched yowls. I raised my head off the pillow and saw the two kittens—one on each side of my legs. Katy had finally mustered enough courage to join us on the bed. But things weren’t going well.
I had a splitting headache and the kittens were at war with each other. I watched as Daisy smacked Katy twice on top of her head with her paw. And Katy, ears flat back, eyes tightly closed, raised one paw and slapped the air a few times in the direction of the calico. The growling sounds accelerated with each blow.
I was glad to see that the kittens were dialoguing, but their timing was awful. I had to get some rest. And I so wanted the kittens to be friends. That’s when I brought out the big guns and used a visualization method I’d only heard about.
If you have cats who won’t listen to you, and if you’d like to attempt a method that just might help to open up a channel of communication with him/her, you must read this story in Catscapades, Tales of Ordinary and Extraordinary Cats. Order your copy at
