Having Cheysuli back and healthy:

PRICELESS

Cheysuli has kindly allowed me to take over her blog to tell the people asking about the Animal Communicator.   I went to see Polly Klein at Tonglen Healing Arts.  Chey and I were able to visit in person but she does do remote sessions.

When I made the appointment she emailed me an intake form and asked me to send it before I came.  Part of that included questions I wanted to ask Cheysuli.  When we arrived for our appointment, she met Chey and I at the door.  I sat and chatted with her initially.  Chey was allowed out to explore the office, which included a bathroom area.  Chey hid behind the toilet.   Polly talked to me about what I called Chey about our life a little more completely.   Also she clarified questions I had for Chey, so she asked the right thing.  For instance, I asked her what she liked to eat.   Polly wanted to clarify if that was a flavor or if I were thinking of dry or canned food.

Then she settled in to talk to Chey.  I went to use the restroom.   Chey immediately started to squeak a bit and then she followed me out of the bathroom and explored a bit more.  Polly told me at the end of the session, when we talked again that she had talked to Chey about what this place was and told her that it was a safe place for all animals.  It was safe for her to come out.  Chey wanted to know what went on there and Polly explained that it was so they could talk and then she would let me know what they talked about.

Cheysuli was quite worried that Ichiro is here for me–she is worried he will take part of my attention away from her.  She was much appreciative to learn that he is there for my husband. Unsurprisingly, she thinks my husband is beneath her and so is Ichiro, so that is good for them to be “for” each other!  Her illness seems to be all stress related and Polly could feel all of that even when they talked about Ichiro.  I found it interesting that when Cheysuli was asked about Georgia (in case she didn’t want to bond for fear of that loss) her response was, “He is NOT my Georgia.”  Gemini is separate but equal with her and there didn’t seem to be any ownership there.

We are using a Vi Miere flower remedy called family for use when there are family issues.  This is a non alcohol based flower essence that you spray in the air above the pet or on your hands and then rub them together and rub the cat.   I do not know that this is working greatly but I think Cheysuli is getting more relaxed–although she still seems to want to fight Ichiro.

I asked if Chey had anything else she wanted me to know.   She asked Polly what I did when I went away during the day.   Polly had to ask me what I did and she explained to Cheysuli and Chey seemed satisfied by that.  She said she doesn’t worry that I won’t come home when I go away–she is very secure in that.  Her big issue is that Ichiro is in her territory and she does not wish to share me.  But she might be willing to accept that he is there for my husband(those lower creatures!).  She doesn’t particularly like my husband because he takes my attention from her sometimes, but she realizes he is not going anywhere and she can live with that.

Look at me!  I can blog!

I can do lots of things.

And that  big Meezer hates me hates me hates me she does.

I don’t care.

This week, Kate, who is the Mum of our friend Eric who went to the Bridge last week, sent the Woman some gifts.  There was a great toy for me… er… Ichiro or whomever.   Ichiro seems to be the most interested.  The toy is behind him and you pull the string and it moves.  He is apparently standing on the pin…

The cards are gorgeous and the Woman can’t wait until she can wear the pin.  Of course, first she has to have patients to go out and wear it.  It’s been slow again.

We would like to thank her for those lovely items. My human, uncivilized person that she is, didn’t think of giving gifts when meeting other cat bloggers.  Sigh.   How did such a person get a cat like me?

At any rate, I should like to thank everyone for the purrs.  Now could you purr me some more fishy flakes?  The Woman has this idea that she needs to wean me off of them to eat more real food… Sigh

If there has to be an Ichiro, there has to be ground rules.

1. I am #1
2. Don’t Bug me
3. Everything is mine
4. Don’t sit on the Woman
5. I am #1
6. I am #1
7. You are not #1
8. I am

Got it?  Good. ‘Cause that’s how it is.

Well I finally got a chance to have a bath and there’s even a bit of sun. We have been having rain again.  We have not had a very good summer at all, although while Cheysuli was sick it was quite hot.

She is back to hissing and spitting and chasing and swatting Ichiro.   He swats me so I cannot feel too badly for him but I do think she is a bit mean about it.

I also noticed that Cheysuli did not do a good job of thanking everyone for their purrs and good thoughts and the offers of food that maybe she would eat.  She is not very good at those things. I shall do that for her too.   So I would like to thank everyone for their good thoughts and well wishes and for their excitement that Cheysuli is doing better!   I am sure she appreciates it, in her own way.

I  am back.

I am eating my ZiwiPeaks dried food.  Considering how expensive it is, of course I held out for that. I am also eating a little of my regular kibble.

See where they cut me open?  Notice I have taken one of my sutures out?  Of course I have.

Now, if only I could get them to remove the kitten like they removed that kibble…
