The Return of Puddin the Cat

Puddin

Back in the summer of 2005, when I was still new to the skill of hearing animals, my parents and I had a session with my animal communication teacher, Kristin Thompson. On that day, Kristin relayed info. from a few passed animal family members, including the family pet, Puddin who had transitioned at the age of 22 yrs., four years prior.

Puddin had said, "I am definitely coming back! You will have to wait awhile. Danielle will recognize me but it may take a few days. I will be the same type of kitty."

I had completely forgotten about that conversation when just a few weeks ago  three young boys came knocking on my door asking if I wanted a cat.  I explained I was maxed out with my 4 cats, but being the animal lover I am, went out to meet the kitty just the same.  In their hands I saw a little calico kitten. 

Their story kept changing regarding details on the cat and after a time, I ended up simply saying I would take her in long enough to find her a home or make arrangements with the wonderful people I knew at the shelter. 

The boys were pleased and as they walked away I overheard them say, "Well THAT was easy."  Hmmm... Knocking on houses all day?  Really??    

Anyway, when I held the kitten that first evening with me, she was very outgoing and affectionate without a trace of timidness.  She also had this odd little way of hugging her body into mine as I snapped photos of her that was very endearing.  With such a sweet personality I figured that would easily swing her into the arms of  her future people as she was easy to fall in love with.

On that first night I did not take much time to communicate with her outside of asking what she'd like to be called and explaining my intent in temporarily housing her.  She asked to be called "CC" which I later personally decided would stand for "Cute Cat".

I took many photos of her that first night as seen on this blog and sent them off to friends immediately asking if they were interested in giving her a forever home.  I also  planned on contacting the shelter within the next few days if I had no takers. 

The following day on a drive to visit my parent's house, I tuned into my guides asking what this kitten needed in a home, her life purpose, etc.  In reply I was prompted to ask who she was.  It was then that I was informed she was Puddin, returned. 

I admit I was (happily) surprised and a tad shocked!  Puddin, the sweet, good natured cat I and my sis had grown up with had indeed returned.

Later that night when I was back at my house I spoke with CC more.  She explained I could address her as CC or CC-Puddini, and for me to know she WAS different this time around.  She explained she had come to do energy work for the earth, to be with my parents and help with their elderly cat while also helping me understand more about reincarnation and other such topics. 

She explained she would be similar in some ways as her old self  but was going to be a little more bold and spunky this time around too.  Not all of who I had known her to be would change, but she didn't need or want to be exactly the same as she had been before.  She was ready to lead a new life with new DNA doing new things with us.    

She relayed to an intuitive friend that we were not to look for the Puddin we knew inside CC as that lifetime was very complete. She told me had learned new things between incarnations including working with star energy and the cosmos.  Although her soul was the same, she didn't need or want a repeat of the same life she'd already lived as Puddin, so for us to anticipate this.

So, as of this writing, CC is happily living with my parents again at her request. 

One of the interesting observations I've noticed in communicating with CC is that when I feel her current vibration (energy), and then feel her energy back in the time when she was Puddin, I find she feels very similar but not exactly the same.  She explained she has evolved since she was last in her last body with me, thus her vibration has evolved a bit as well.  She knows more now and can work in new ways. 

    

I have much to learn and understand personally about her own unique experience cycling in and out of  physical form.   But as my questions arise, CC will help me understand.  CC's return is a reminder that we always exist and evolve regardless of where we are and that ties of love always continue.

P.S.  For this photo, I actually kept moving my foot away (who wants a foot in a photo, right?) while she just kept reaching further and further out to touch me.  When I learned on day 2 she was Puddin returned, the odd little reaching  made more sense as she told me in retrospect, "Of course I recognized you.  I had plans to rejoin you.  No confusion on my end!" 

 

Regarding reincarnation, CC says:

 "We come in our own perfect time, when circumstances are right.  It does not truly matter whether we reincarnate to be with you again or work with you from afar, we are just as close at heart.  Sometimes though, the jobs we need to do require a vehicle.  A body.  And so we come around again.  It's all well and good."

Thinking about Taking an Animal Communication Workshop?

One of my clients e-mailed me inquiring about the 1 day animal communication workshop I teach and my own starting point in the field.  I have excerpted some of her questions and added a few more for those considering a workshop.   

1. Did you seem to have "the gift" before attending someone else's animal communication workshop?

No, I'd never communicated with animals before my first class (that I was consciously aware of). So I have been in the same shoes as most of the very beginner students I teach. And no, the class doesn’t require that participants have ever had a psychic experience of any type or be a good meditator. The workshop is truly designed at its core for those who have never communicated with animals before.

One a side note, I don't believe conversing with animals is a gift. It's more a natural skill that I compare to learning a foreign language that simply comes in through its own intuitive channel. Those channels are often underused or completely ignored in our daily routine, but during the workshop we dust them off and actively work these channels.  Each time you use your intuitive channels, they get stronger.

2. Why aren’t humans using telepathy everyday if it’s so natural to us?

Telepathy is the ordinary language used by all animals on the planet. We humans just happen to be the only species that underutilizes this language regularly.  Why?  Perhaps becasue we’ve elected to use our human vocal chords to converse instead.  Perhaps because they're louder?

We, like the animals, have access to the more subtle, quieter energetic language of telepathy if we choose to tap in and use it. Just because we as a species generally haven’t used it beyond our baby and toddler years (see my post from August 1st, 2009 ), it’s still always been a natural part of us that can be reawakened at will and with practice.  

3. What is your success rate with new students?


Everyone is on their own unique journey in opening their intuitive skills and comes to class at different starting points, so everyone's speed of learning to quiet their minds and shift into an open receptive channel/mode  varies.

In general though, nearly everyone drawn to take the class (with most having never done this work before) receive genuine communication at multiple points throughout the day, generally with a snowball effect as the day goes on.  Humans, like all of life, are designed to feel subtle energies, and telepathy literally means "feeling over a distance" so it's really not surprising people do so well at picking this up.  The info. received might be from a partner they’re working with during an exercise and/or from the animals directly. It’s very exciting.

4. After a day's session, could I go home and talk to my animals or would more practice be needed?

It would be likely that more practice would be needed.  Specifically in practicing with other people's animals before you trust yourself in hearing what your own animals say. And I say this not because you wouldn't be able to hear your own animals after a first class (because you certainly can!) but most people simply find they don't trust what they receive from their own animals in the beginning. Why? Because not having the audible feedback present can make us question if what we heard was real. 


Thus, most find it easier to practice with animals they don’t know in the beginning to give your mind ‘proof’ that what you are receiving is accurate as per the owner's feedback.  The more experience and practice time you have in this work, the easier it is to hear all animals (including your own.)  But a workshop is wonderful foundation for most to catapult off from! 

Does that mean you shouldn’t practice with your own animals after a class? No way! They tend to be the ones who MOST want to be heard! So by all means let them guide and teach you.

5. Do animal communicators ever use of other communicator’s skills?

Yes and it's well known amongst those in the field to do so. For me personally, it occasionally happens that I’m feeling too emotionally invested in a situation with one of my own (such as during a health crises). I feel it’s good to know when it’s most supportive of all to invite in a neutral third party.

6. Will I be fluent in telepathy at the end of a one day workshop?

Learning telepathy is like learning Japanese or any other language. While I don't know anyone who can be fluent in a foreign language in 1 day, I do know many who can learn to speak parts of that new language in just one session. When time is spent practicing any new language, progress is made and yes, the first workshop provides ample opportunity to begin speaking the language before you walk out the door. 

7. What is the time investment for me to become fluent?

It's unique for all. It’s not possible to compare individual learning curves, but tends to be a lot quicker than most people think if you’re willing to practice independently beyond the class. The good thing is, the practice itself is fun. 

8. Who should take the 1 day workshop?

Your intuition tells you everyday what is right and not right for you.  How does the idea of taking a class feel to you?  The inner ‘you’ will respond to that idea and help you know if and when you’re ready!  :)
