Cats

Blind Cat

Fabia from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, asked:

Hi Julie,

I came across you on Instagram and am hoping to have a general reading with you some day.

In the meantime, I was wondering if you could answer a question about my beloved cat, which is 19 years old.

My fur baby has had some health issues lately and just recently went blind. Since that happened, he now hides in the basement. I have to bring him up to take him outside.

Is there anything else I can do to help him stay upstairs and make him comfortable? 

Thank you,

Fabia

Hi Fabia,

In order to get more information for you, I energetically connected to you in Canada and from you to your cat.

When I scanned him, I could see (in my mind’s eye) what looked like damaged nerves to both of your cat’s eyes. The pet health network website says, “Optic neuritis or inflammation of the optic nerve is relatively uncommon in cats but does occur and is associated with viral infections, protozoal infections and fungal infections. The term “optic neuritis” compromises all diseases of the optic nerve that cause deterioration and usually produce a sudden visual field problem or total loss of vision in one or both eyes.

In addition, I asked my brand new daughter-in-law Mallory who is a veterinarian about your cat. Dr. Mal said, his blindness is most likely caused by hyperthyroidism and or hypertension that has caused retinal detachment. I “got” (received information) these issues were also at play.

So, in order to help your cat, I did an energetic healing that generated new nerve tissue on both of his eyes and also fixed his detached retinas.

When looking through his eyes from behind, I could see a small hole of vision begin to appear in the center of his eyeballs. I believe his vision may improve with time.

Lastly, your cat told me he’s hanging out in the basement because sunlight hurts his eyes. He said he’s more comfortable in low light or darkness. You may want to see about getting a pair of feline sunglasses for him. Perhaps the pet store or your vet can help you with that.

Hope you find this information useful and hope your cat’s vision improves.

Nelson The Cat

Kelly from Saline, MI, asked:

Hi Julie,

I’ve heard you help others with pets on your podcast – so I’m hoping you can give me some advice on mine! 

My big orange kitty, Nelson, is about 15 1/2 years old. He has had various skin issues throughout his life and now, he has a growth (a little smaller than a dime) on his chin. It doesn’t seem to bother him too much other than it may be a bit itchy.

The vet is assuming it’s a tumor and has recommended that we laser it off. However, she has advised it could very well grow back and potentially be more aggressive. 

Can you scan Nelson and let me know what you see and if removing the tumor is the best course of action?

Thank you!

Hi Kelly,

In order to get some information for you, I first energetically connected to you and from you to Nelson (love his name). He is very cute.

The growth on Nelson’s chin looks like a sebaceous cyst to me. Although the surface area is the size of a dime, it has a conical shape that goes to a point inside. In addition, the cyst looks to be filled with sebum, a waxy, paste-like substance comprised of keratin, a protein found in skin and hair.

I believe it’s in Nelson’s best interest to have the cyst removed. At this time, I don’t “get” it will grow back.

Hope this helps.

My best to Nelson!

Ricky & Ralphie

Corey from The Bronx, New York, asked:

Hi Julie,

I got two kittens about 12 years ago. I was looking for one cat but they were holding each other so tightly that I got them both. The Petco rescue person told me they were brothers.

Well, one of the most painful things I ever had to do was to have one of my cats (Ralphie) cremated last August.

He developed diabetes and doctors said he would have deteriorated and it would have been difficult to take care of him.

My question is about his brother Ricky who never showed any sadness about the event. He has not looked for his brother or anything.

I was just wondering what he understands about the situation?

Also, I wondered if Ralphie (the cat that passed) is still around and knows that he was loved dearly.

Thank you!!

Hi Corey,

What a great question.

The reason Ricky isn’t missing Ralphie is because Ralphie is still there, only now, he’s transitioned into spirit form.

Animals and especially small children (under the age of 4) are very intuitive. They can sense spirits, both human and animal, when we mortals are unable to. Cats in particular are known to be very psychic.

I’ve lost count of the number of times a cat owner has told me about a situation where all of a sudden their animal gets agitated without a viable cause. And then there are the stories about a cat slowly turning its head from side to side like it’s watching someone walk across the room when no one is visible. In that scenario, the cat is sensing a spirit.

Every pet owner acknowledges how much we learn from our animals. This is a case in point. When a loved one or a beloved pet dies, they remain with us, just in spirit form.

And, Ralphie did know he was deeply loved.

Thanks for your question.

Blessings,

Julie
