I’m a 9 month old Tortie Seal Point Siamese. My person, Cat fostered me when I was only 3 months old and then she adopted me. 

What follows is my journey to learn to trust and overcome my fear of humans with Cat’s help and support..

You see, I have trust issues.

My trust issues stem from my first mom teaching me to retreat whenever things didn’t feel safe, so that’s what I do to protect myself.

Thankfully, Cat understands this.

She is patient, kind, and persistent.

Cat knows I can’t go any faster than I’m comfortable.

Her secret sauce?

Cat consistently meets me where I’m at during our daily “dates,” where I let her pet me while noshing on something tasty.

Day by day.

Treat by treat.

Pet by pet.

She never pushes me beyond what I can handle.

And over time, I’ve grown braver.

And then it happened!

While nibbling on deliciousness, and before I could run away, Cat leaned in and smooshed my face with a big kiss.

OMG! I couldn’t believe it.

Once the initial shock wore off, I realized I really did like smooches.

I even surprised myself by coming back for more

You see, Cat understands that it’s not about her timeline.

It’s about my timeline.

Animals must have the power to choose how and when they want to interact with humans.

If you’ve got a fearful or anxious animal, don’t give up on them.

Trust that with patience, kindness, and consistency, they’ll show you their way.

Want to learn how to understand your pet’s voice and help you both feel safe and connected?

Cat is masterful at helping animals feel safe again, and she teaches humans how to support us with patience, respect, and the choice to go at our own pace.

These aren’t just Cat’s ideas—they’re the foundation of Animal Communication and Reiki.

And here’s the best part.

Cat doesn’t just help animals like me feel safe—she helps humans like you feel less worried, anxious, and more heart-connected.

Pretty cool, eh?
