Our pets give us unconditional love and acceptance. They are wonderful companions. In return, it’s only fair that we do the best that we can to keep them healthy and happy. One way to do that is to have energetic healing sessions when they are not feeling well or are stressed. Animals are very...
This is a post about diseases that our cats can have as they are aging. It is just a quick summary and does not go into causes or what treatment is right for any particular cat. Over the years, I have adopted several older cats – 8 that were 10 yrs. old or older....
When my cat Bogey was getting old and his back legs getting stiff, he loved to come to me when I was sitting in my reading chair to ask me for Reiki. He would position himself with his back to me, and I would put my hands on his hips. He wouldn’t stay long,...
Well, I haven’t posted in a very long time. The last time I did, my Sphynx cat Bea was doing better in terms of her digestive issues. She was 11, I’d had her for 4 months, and we lived in MA. After I wrote that post, her digestive issues returned, and in fact lasted...
