I was having a busy week and putting a lot of pressure on myself. So much needed my attention. A website refresh, creating a new course, gardens that needed watering… you get the idea. I was going through a checklist in my mind on what to focus on first and suddenly I heard LOUD MEOWING from my cat Cosmo—very unusual behavior from our quiet and calm kitty.
He ran up the stairs to my office and at the same time, I peeked out my office door to see what was happening. I picked up my kitty and he snuggled into me and purred. I heard him say telepathically, I want to help. The tension in my body began to relax. I sat in a comfortable chair and he sprawled out on my lap, put his paw in my hand, and fell asleep. I hadn’t realized how many controlling thoughts I was having and didn’t notice the amount of tension in my body until Cosmo brought it to my attention and asked me to stop and just be.
As I relaxed on the chair with him in my lap I realized what a profound message he had for me and how this simple act of meowing and asking me to hold him helped me become profoundly aware of my own needs and change my energy and thoughts. Cosmo knew what I needed. He felt my contracted energy and heard my limiting thoughts telepathically. He was reacting to me.
The animals who live with us, know us authentically, feel our energy, hear our thoughts, and understand our words. They will do whatever they need to do to get our attention- even though sometimes our human egos may not always agree with or want to hear their wisdom.
I am grateful for my kitty Angel’s message reminding me to slow down and change my thoughts from forcing and controlling to trusting and being in the moment. Observe your pets and the animals around you. What messages are they giving you or the other humans in their life?
