Orion, a recovering feral gives his cat-speak and ©whisker waves on cat issues ….

“Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work another day in your life”  — Robert Klabaca

Major Health and Work Transitions
Orion’s whiskers did a super stretch for Dante as I gave Adam a Reiki chair treatment to calm his mind, body and emotional well-being.

Adam was having major transitions in his health and work schedule and Dante and his two companions mirrored Adam’s stress. Their reaction was to keep their distance. This saddened Adam. They all felt ghosted — abandoned.  Reiki was the “tie to bind”. As Adam relaxed, his three cats now mirrored Adam’s bliss.

Bello and Caro feel the glow

There was a time when Dante terrorized his two companions. But that was now history.

That Long Lost Story
“The two brothers retreat to the kitchen cabinets when Dante is on the attack,” Adam had said. That was several months ago when Adam contacted me to do a grief and restorative session for his three cats. Within the past few years, he’d lost his partner and two of their five cats. Dante, who was seven and Adam’s cat, began to terrorize Caro and Bello, the ten year old brothers who were his late partner’s cats. Truly, Adam loved the three of them. But now he was their sole guardian, and felt very sorry for the brothers who’d lost their main person. “I get so angry with Dante when he becomes the attack cat,” said Adam.

Blurred Boundaries  Scapecats
I told Adam that Dante could not accept this major transition in relationships. Now the boundaries were blurred.
Dante felt betrayed and anxious whenever Adam interacted with the brothers. But if Dante felt acknowledged and included, Caro and Bello wouldn’t be his scape-cats. I devised a treatment plan that would slowly chip away at Dante’s fury and mend fences with the two brothers. Adam wanted very much for the cats to stay together.

Common Ground Found
Time moved on. And so did the three guys. Now and again, Dante would act out with the brothers but more often Adam was able to distinguish Dante’s tell tale signs — ripple of his back, flick of his tail, widened pupils — and to distract him with an enthusiastic toss of a toy or walk in the hall. We had found common ground for these guys.

Dante the recovering aggressor


Relaxing to Adam’s Reiki chair treatment 
“OMG, they’ve come full circle. We have a triple win”, I said to myself.  As I gave Adam a Reiki chair treatment and lightly placed my hands on his head, Dante, the recovering aggressor, scrambled up on Adam’s lap, while Dante’s two companions sprawled out nearby.

Healing is a caring process. Adam and his guys have traveled a rocky road to recovery. So many blocks have been chipped away.

This is the story of Adam and his 3 cats and how they successfully overcame internal strife, horrendous grief and health issues. Look for the full story in future Posts.
