What Your Cat Is Really Thinking: Intuitive Cat Communication 101 By Layla Morgan Wilde

If you’ve ever wondered what your cat is thinking, this post is for you. Since 2011, I’ve made it my mission to help cat lovers learn how to understand cats better. Our now classic post about 10 Easy Way To Communicate With Your Cat from 10 years ago still holds true or Catspeak Lesson #1 in Intuitive Feline Communication.

 

I’ve used everything from humor, science to woo woo to drive the message home. Imagery is something we all can relate to so I created some tongue-in-check images.

After all these years, I’ve seen more awareness for external help like pet psychics and professional animal communicators. I kept experimenting and learning from the pros until I became one myself.

Lately, I’ve been reflecting about the questions cat lovers ask me and felt it’s time to share the key intuitive intuitive cat communication 101 basics.

 

Why is it easier to with connect with one cat than another?

Why can some people do it and not me?

Why don’t I trust the messages I get?

Why, why, why?

Why bother to even try?

WHY?

1. Emotional Bonding: Use telepathic communication to understand your cat’s emotional state, providing comfort and reassurance during times of stress or illness.
2. Health and Well-being: Through telepathy, you can detect potential health issues or discomfort your cat may be experiencing, enabling you to provide prompt care and attention. I’ve found this especially helpful for dental issues.
3. Behavioral Understanding: Telepathic communication can help you understand the reasons behind certain behaviors, allowing for a more empathetic and effective. Understanding leads to happier cat and human families.

Before we explore further, let’s look at the traditional description of communicating with cats. By combining scientific behavioral approaches with intuition, I believe it’s the full package to understanding cats.

Animal communication is a fascinating field that explores the ways in which animals communicate with one another and with humans. Cats, as highly intelligent and expressive creatures, have their own unique ways of communicating. By understanding their body language, vocalizations, and behaviors, you can deepen your bond with your feline companion.

1. Non-Verbal Communication: a. Body Language: Cats communicate a wealth of information through their body postures, facial expressions, and tail movements. Learn to interpret their signals, such as a relaxed or tense body, upright or lowered tail, and direct or dilated eye contact. b. Vocalizations: Cats use various vocalizations, including meowing, purring, hissing, and growling, to express their needs, emotions, and intentions. Pay attention to the context and pitch of their vocalizations to understand their messages.
2. Scent Communication: a. Pheromones: Cats have scent glands on different parts of their bodies. They use pheromones to mark territories, signal their availability for mating, and provide comfort. Familiarize yourself with the scents your cat leaves behind and how they use them to communicate.
3. Behavioral Communication: a. Play Behavior: Play is a significant way cats communicate with humans and other animals. Observe their play style, which can vary from stalking and pouncing to gentle batting. Engage in interactive play to strengthen your bond. b. Grooming Behavior: Mutual grooming is a form of social bonding in cats. By grooming your cat or allowing them to groom you, you can communicate trust, affection, and belonging.

 

The biggest obstacle to receiving clear and accurate intuitive info is doubt. It clouds the process which is actually incredibly simple, if you trust and believe.

 

As my cat Odin is getting older, I’m finding it easier to communicate with him, but I couldn’t help think about some of my other cats. I’ve loved all my cats but I’ve been able to communicate with some much more easily than others. And it has nothing to do with how many years I’ve known them, the age, gender, personality or any other factor. Ditto for communicating with cats that have died.

Two older cats I adopted Gris Gris and Radish clicked intuitively with me immediately on day one. Other cats like my soul cat Merlin started with a strong connection and deepened over 20 years. His sister Coco and I never clicked on the same level. Other cats I’ve known like Miss Mew and Lulu were lovely but remained inscrutable.

WHY? I don’t know definitely but I chalk it up to karma, soul contracts and perhaps astrological compatibility.

Psychic communication allows us to see the world through the eyes of our feline companions. It invites us to step into their world, feel what they feel, and understand their unique perspectives, leading to a bond built on compassion, empathy, and shared experiences.”

– Dr. Allen M. Schoen, Veterinarian and Author of “Kindred Spirits: How the Remarkable Bond Between Humans and Animals Can Change the Way We Live”

 

As with any behavioral modification or training, it’s less confusing for a cat to have one person teaching them. This is especially true is a partner, spouse, parent or child is dismissive of any kind of animal communication.

 

Practical Tips to Communicate with Your Cat:

 

 

1. Respect Boundaries: a. Give them space: Allow your cat to approach you when they feel comfortable. Avoid forcing interactions or invading their personal space. b. Provide hiding spots: Cats often seek hiding spots when they feel overwhelmed or stressed. Offer cozy, safe areas for them to retreat to.
2. Active Listening: a. Observe their body language: Pay attention to your cat’s posture, tail position, and facial expressions to understand their moods and emotions. b. Respond appropriately: React to your cat’s communication cues in a gentle and reassuring manner. For example, if they approach you with an upright tail and relaxed body, reciprocate with calm petting or gentle play.
3. Establish Routine and Consistency: a. Cats thrive on routine, so establish a consistent feeding schedule, playtime, and grooming routine. b. Use consistent verbal cues: Cats can learn to associate certain words or phrases with specific actions or commands. Use clear and consistent verbal cues to establish communication patterns.
4. Bonding Activities: a. Interactive play: Engage in regular play sessions using toys that simulate hunting behavior, such as feather wands or laser pointers. b. Positive reinforcement: Reward your cat’s desirable behavior with treats, praise, or gentle strokes to strengthen the bond between you.

 

It bears repeating: Cats reflect or mirror their human’s behavior. A stressed human = a stressed cat. The cat will exhibit stressed, nervous energy or internalize it.

 

 

Exploring Intuitive or Psychic Communication with Your Cat: Unlocking the Telepathic Connection

Defining Psychic Communication: Telepathy: Telepathy refers to the ability to transmit or receive thoughts, feelings, or information without using conventional communication methods such as speech or body language. It is believed to involve a subtle exchange of energy and intention between individuals.

Animal Telepathy: Animal telepathy implies the telepathic connection established with animals, allowing for the exchange of information and emotions at a deep, intuitive level. Since our focus here are cats, I prefer to call it Intuitive Cat Communication.
