– What’s wrong with the cat?
– I’d like to understand the dog…
– How can I help them live better?
– How can I understand what they need to feel better?
– It seems she’s angry and I don’t understand why…
– Can I ease their suffering somehow?
And so many other questions run through the minds of those of us who live with animals…
In short, it could be summed up as: HOW CAN I UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER AND HELP THEM?
Personally, these questions intensified when I adopted a cat who came to my home without me knowing. The Guides showed me it was important that she stayed; I already lived with another cat, so I kept her.
She walked with her head tilted, was uncoordinated, and had a series of health problems that were well attended to by the veterinarian and their team. We treated an ear infection with various medications, but she never fully recovered; she was also deaf, because I would call right behind her ear and she wouldn’t even flinch—only the sound of high-pitched piano keys made her react, and she would come very close when I played.
For days, I energetically saw a black ball on her head; I applied light and performed healings I felt appropriate to accompany her, but it didn’t disappear.
During this process, images of her life path up to that moment appeared to me: she had been adopted by a family (father, mother, and a girl about 4–5 years old with medium-length straight blonde hair) in a village 15 minutes from mine; but for some unknown reason, she was abandoned at the end of the upper street near my home. The father of the family took her out of the car, struck her head with a metal rod, and left her in front of the trash bins, assuming she was dead.
The cat was angry; all day I felt she was telling me, “I came for the girl, I want to be with the girl, I come to accompany the girl,” and I often spoke with her to help her understand that her path had changed and that she was more than welcome at home. Her attitude was both sweet and defiant, seeking constant contact and also breaking any object she found on her way, meowing hoarsely out of frustration.
Finally, I dared to tell the veterinarian what I saw energetically, and fortunately, he accepted it and referred us to the local veterinary hospital, where they detected a brain tumor that, because of its size, also affected her ears: it was operable.
At this point, I saw her so angry that her Higher Self communicated to me, saying she wanted to collect the soul incarnated as the cat I knew. This communication with the Higher Self always comes with a feeling of immense peace and love; the words arrive clearly, in a calm but firm tone—very different from speaking with the incarnated soul, which expresses much more through emotion.
When I sat in front of her and asked what she wanted, her response was, “I want to return to Myself, I’m tired.” I cried a lot and accepted that this could be her path despite the pain it caused me. Still, although many people told me to let her die and not spend money on the operation, I decided to do it. I felt I had to do everything in my power to accompany her, regardless of the outcome.
After the operation, the black ball had almost disappeared; she still tilted her head and didn’t dare to jump or run uncoordinated, but she no longer meowed hoarsely or broke things all the time. I continued taking her to the vet, and she received all the prescribed medication; I also kept performing the healings I felt for weeks.
Months later and to this day, her face is more relaxed, she meows softly (except when she’s angry), turns even when I say her name quietly, and she can run and jump safely. Her head still tilts a bit, but the improvement is huge. I’m grateful she finally decided to keep accompanying me and everyone fortunate enough to experience healing with her presence, as she rarely fails to appear when I do this kind of work.
This experience was one of the toughest lessons in detachment for me. Here I learned that loving is accepting the Other’s Path unconditionally, giving purely from feeling, without expecting anything in return or any specific outcome: giving even knowing the other may leave at any moment.
Loving is opening to Love without considering pain or loss, taking off your armor in the middle of battle, smiling in adversity, and most of all, being present in Each Moment: Love exists neither in the past nor the future; Love expresses itself in the Present, it is Eternity in essence.
