I would like to make this a thread where we can update our current psychic events.
It can be anything we feel has happened lately that qualify as psychic in nature. It doesn't have to get proved as psychic as such, let's not make this thread boring.

I will start by telling about a dream I had last night. It was about a yellow house that had a big stonewall in the garden which my mother had bought.
It was located by the sea and there was a flood coming, so she thought moving the fence closer to the stonewall would protect the house better, but when she moved the fence which was surrounding the house and the whole garden, everything collapsed, the house and everything in the yard fell down the wall and on the street below.

Today I went to see her and somehow we started talking about dreams, so I told her this one, and she said that she had passed a house just like that the day before, the description matched exactly and that she also had thought about wanting to buy it, but saw that it was just sold to someone else.

I have not seen this house before in reality and she has never spoken about it either.

Before I start Bebelina, that light blue is a little hard to read unless it's just my eyes, if no one else thinks so, disregard my mention of it.

Now, I don't know if this qualifies for your post but I've been wanting to tell someone this without being laughed at.

For the past few months I've been visited by what I think is a ghost - wait for it - kitten! I'll be in bed trying to get to sleep and I swear I feel the weight of a kitten walking over the top of my doona (blanket). The first time it happened I couldn't move because I was trying to work out whether it was just my imagination, although I knew I was awake I just couldn't believe what I was feeling. It's exactly the feeling of having a kitten negotiating it's way over a blanket down around your feet.

A few weeks later it happened again, only this time I decided to move my foot to see if it would stop. It didn't. Once that happened I had to get up to see if anything was there because it was so real. Of course nothing was there and the rest of the night passed without incident.

I finally told my mother (who I'm living with at the moment) making light of it because it seemed so silly. She's a little bit superstitious so it didn't faze her in any way. But she did tell me that when she used to sleep in this room I'm in now, my brother (who died in 2000 and used to own a pet shop) now and then would come home with a kitten and place it on the end of her bed. How freaky is that? Since then, it's happened another couple of times, and once I felt the kitten trying to climb on my head. It doesn't scare me in any way, in fact I feel like it's my brother coming to say hello, but it's not something you want to tell the people you work with because you know what they're going to be thinking.

Do you think animal ghosts are possible?

Cheers
Teri

Oh, that was a totally adorable story. Of course it's your brothers way os saying hello. So I don't think it's an animal ghost, just him somehow making it happen. Try talking to him next time it happens, say hello back.

I do believe animal ghosts exist though, my dead cat Yoda often comes to visit me, but now in the form of a lion. He was yellow in life, and I often joked about him thinking he was a lion. I can also sense him in bed sometimes. And my other cats definitely see him too, and other stuff. It's funny to watch them at bedtime because there seems to be very much activity in the room that I can't see for myself, but their heads turn and eyes get big, so something is definitely there. Sometimes they stare into the wall like they were really looking at something, but who knows, maybe they are just nuts...like me. :D
I live next door to a "Funeral shop" undertaker?...well, I have a sneaky suspicion that the spirits of some recently dead people who perhaps have followed their mourning relatives to this undertaker stops by in my place and lingers for a while. The hurse is often standing outside too, sometimes with a coffin in and sometimes not.

I've seen cats staring intently with the fur standing up at nothing too. Don't you just wish they could tell you what they're looking at?

I like to think of myself as a rational person but I can't deny that this has happened to me. I really wish there wasn't such scepticism attached to people's unexplained experiences.

I also saw a spirit/ghost/whatever many years ago just before the death of my father and that experience is a very vivid memory. The problem is I know what I would think if someone were to tell me the story as if it happened to them - it's just very hard to believe. Anyway, maybe one day these things can be scientifically proven.
Cheers
Teri :)

Yes, I'm sure it will be scientifically proven too eventually.
That there are existances on other frequencies than us.
My grandmother often talks to her dead sister in dreams, and the sister often tell her about things that she should be aware of. She has also spoken to me in a dream too.
Mosty of my "psychic" events are dream related it seems.
My grandmother and I also saw my grandfathers ghost shortly before his funeral. He just walked by us in the hallway of their house, like nothing had happened. I don't think he was aware that he had died, or refused to accept it. Because the people who bought the house from my granmother later had to consult a psychic because of the many disturbances in the house, doors opened, things dissapeared and so on...
The psychic told them of an elderly man that was playing tricks on them, mischievious.
So that must have been him, perhaps a little irritated that new people had moved into his house.
My mother astrally projected to him when he was dying at the hospital ( it's not her father, but my fathers father) and he talked to her about everyday issues ( he was not awake at the time, had been unconscious for a few days already and was according to her halfway out of his body), he spoke about all the apples he had to pick. She tried to explain to him what was happening but he didn't want to listen to that. But by now I think he has moved on, hopefully, for his sake.

I was wondering to myself why it is that it's usually women who seem to have most of these kinds of experiences. Or do you think women are more willing to discuss them? I'd love to hear something from the men on the forum.

I think intuition is closely related to psychic abilities, if not a direct result of that ability.

If it's the case that these souls stick around for a while after death, I wonder how long they stay for, or whether there's some reason they don't move on.

I dislike going to funerals because I believe that the essence of the person is no longer in the body.

You've got me going now Bebelina - there are so many questions that are never going to be answered to everyone's satisfaction.

Cheers
Teri

marry me darling bebelina

Greetings,

I have had the pleasure of having the company of many cats in my life, some of them for periods of times of 9 to 22 years.

Reading your post in regards to "feeling" a cat on the bed made me smile. The same thing has happend to me. I have at times, felt one of my past cats ( Tania ) walk on the bed, and cuddle up to me...like she use to do. So much, that like you, I would sit up and look around for the darn cat !!

I never made much of it... did not scare me ( surprise me for sure !).. was just happy she was there. Granted never did tell anybody about this... as usual.. they would look at you like you have 2 heads !!!

Hope your cats stays with you.... always

Bottica

Thanks for the confirmation that I'm not the only one that has this happen; it's good to be able to share the experience. The little cat paws are so light, yet distinct, it really is amazing.

Again welcome to the forums.
Cheers
Teri
:)

Teri...

Well, may I say thanks to you.. you had enough "guts" to put it out.. (talk about it)... and that got me going...

She was there for about 2 years off and on, (Tania) and yes, those was her little paws.. only she would walk in this way... Well, you just know which on it is when you have a certain amount of cats... LOL...

About 3 years ago, Anouk, me cat of 22 years passed on. I saw her in a dream about 6 days latter. She has never been back to the house.. but then, I now have 6 cats (all strays).. I guess in many ways she is back.... Smile

Bottica

have a sis that had a psychic connection with her cat anja
*lets see.....got lost, sis went directly to it (quite far)
*cat senses sis returning way before she actually got back (5mts or so)

Just a tiny blip from a skeptic: How do you folks define a psyhic event if you do not want to do any proving?

Simply as something you wish to believe was one?

OK, OK, I'm off...... ;)

Hans,

Please to meet you... but then I am not here to prove or disprove what has happend. Anyhow, how could I prove it to you ?

I know in my soul, and in my mind that I felt my cat walking on my bed towards me more than once.. and no, I was not dreaming, but wide awake, resting. It was present enough for me to turn on the light, get up, and look for my cat....

An event ? No, I just call it life.

Bottica

Your scepticism is exactly the reason most of us don't go around telling people what has happened. I can't prove it any more than you can disprove it; you'll just have to take my word for it. In any case I don't have any reason to lie - what would be the point? It's just something I've experienced, you can choose to believe it or not believe it; it doesn't matter to me.

I'm glad Bottica spoke up, because in a way it gives my experience more credence and possibly she felt the same way.

Cheers
Teri

Bonjour...

You are correct, Teri, I did and do feel the same way... I guess we all know its not easy talking about experiences that are out of what one may call "the ordinary life", but it is sure beautiful went it does happen...

Another cat incident.
My mother has a cat, My, that frequently ran away and stayed away for several days, up to two weeks at the time.
She worried a lot and went looking for it everyday.
One day when I was there she went out looking for it again and came back with My.
My mother had seen a big rabbit sitting on a stone and it seemed so calm that she carefully approached it and asked it if it knew where her cat was. The rabbit jumped off a few steps and looked back at her, she followed, it continued, and again after a few steps it looked back, to see if she was following it seemed. Then it jumped over a ditch into the woods, and the second after the cat jumped out from the same place. So either the rabbit showed my mother where the cat was, or the cat is a shapeshifter, or the cat had lived with the rabbits and thought she had become one herself.
Well, whatever it was, the cat doesn't run away anymore.

I've known a few cats and most were nice - it takes a little while to understand the feline facial expressions, but after you learn cats are much more understandable.

However, most cats I have known were D U M B.

So why is it common to ascribe cats such powers? I mean, I've known cats that were extra stupid and one Oriental Shorthair that was a positive genius, but most of the time the cats I've known were kinda noisy, kinda clumsy, and not too bright. Fun! But not bright.

Certainly the one I've got right now would probably run right out of my place if he had any idea where to go... if he had any extraordinary abilities whatsoever, he'd probably be using them on me just to relieve his boredom. The only form of communication he engages in is "I am hungry", which he generally illustrates by trying to eat you.

Shhh, don't say that, they will come after you... :eek:

Nah, it's no offense to the cats - they're smarter than a lot of other animals. (Parrots I'm still not sure about. They could be very smart, but then again they usually have a mean streak a mile wide.)

It's only that it's very difficult to teach them anything. And when girl cats go into heat... hoo boy, do they lose their marbles. Didn't notice that so much with boy cats, but all my boy cats were fixed.

Yes, fixed male cats are the best.
One of my females now have an infection in her uterus so she must have it removed ( expensive...), male cats often don't get sick as often as females.
Teaching them to use the litterbox can take a lifetime and one's sanity.

Just make sure the litterbox isn't anywhere that you want to walk.

As for the girls, getting them fixed is major surgery (unlike with the boys) and I'm still unsure whether it's worth the damage to the cat.

ANYWAY, this thread is supposed to be about being PSYCHIC, not owning cats. Sorry I sidetracked everyone - I was just wondering why people always think cats are psychic.

I have always felt that cats are a little on the "I'm mysterious and I know stuff you don't know" side. My family has had a cat before, Charlie, but I never felt anything special with him and never noticed anything strange or extraordinary about him. Anyways, now that I'm in America I've gotten another cat (chrlie was stolen) and his name is Paco. I anmed him, hehe. Anyways, he is 8 months old now, Maine Coon breed, grey and white (little orange I'm not sure), and he is smart! I taught him tricks including roll over, sit, come over, he knows how to catch a treet in the air, lie down, AND give me his paw! He is just awesome and the cool thing is that it didn't take much to teach him, but then again he was basically a kitten when I taught him that stuff and it's easier to learn while you're young. He has also learned pattern stuff such as whenever I goa round the staircase he knows I'm going to come out on the other side so he goes the arouond it starting at the opposite end I started at! Sometimes he runs after my legs "hugging" them maybe because he's mad that I hug him too much or maybe just because he is in aggressive mood. I'm pretty sure it's not because he loves me and wants to give me a hug!:p
I loved that story about the ghost cat! I'm a superstitious person, although very young, and that's maybe because I'm from the Russian neighborhood I lived in for most of my life (so far). My friends and I would get together and we would always have something superstitious to talk about. I believe in all kinds of stuff! Sometimes just out of my personality someone might say something that has happened to them and I'll say something that I'm trying to disprove them or shows skeptism, but really I'm not like that. Part of why I might do that is because I believe in possibility and always think that there's a possibility they might be lieing. Might sound childish but I'm that kind of person.
If anyone has anything else superstitious or something outt of ordinary to talka bout please post your experiences here!

Ok, Cats...

Well, I was raised with more cats than you could shake at stick at... and I still love them.
I presently have 6 cats, which 2 of then have been born in this house..
I have found that if you speak to them and treat them as "equals" as you would speak to somebody you care about, or are close to.. they respond...
Ok, I do not go crazy a obout this.. but I speak to them as I would speak to some friend.
I presently have 2 babies, about 4 month old... they attack my partner at night.. like bitting his toes etc. nothing bad.. but it keeps him up.. lol
They do not do anything of the sort to me.. at all...because i beleive ...I speak to them... like normal.. no baby talk etc.. I just speak to them.. he does not.. lol...
they do not attack me... they sleep with me...


Bottica
Cats have a litter box........

Sorry
Does seems like we did get away from the subject...

About 2 years ago, my old friend, Anouk, a 22 years old cat moved on.
A good friend of mine.. (insight my beleilf ) send another cat to my way..
Now this cat was an outside cat, with claws like hello, and yes, and bigger than one of my dogs. She never wanted to come in the house.
Well, the point is that she stayed here for about 2 years.. outside, in her "cat house" , all insulated for winter etc. fed twice a day... like she had it made..
Well, she dissapeared about 7 day ago, I have been looking for her all over... breaks my heart...
but then , had a dream, and here she was, sleeping on top of her house... (outside house) very happy , and telling me it was ok.. she was at peace....

I sense she is so close, there is not one day that I do not go out to her house and look if she made it back.

I totally beleive that .. if you want it.. there is a full relationship to be made with cats.. well them... (smile)

Bottica
My friend.. Peannut...

I don't own a cat and I haven't for about 30 years. In fact, I haven't had any kind of pet for many years; but if I were allowed to have a pet, my choice would be a puppy because I'm more of a dog person. Don't misunderstand, I love kittens too, it's just when they get older they can take you or leave you, whereas a dog will always come running over to see you tail wagging.

So because I've had nothing to do with cats in general for many years, the experience of feeling a kitten walk over me in my bed is more surprising and unusual (I'm not really sure of what word to use because it was totally out of the blue). If I owned a cat I might have explained it away somehow, but not having thought of cats or kittens for so long makes my experience more.... what? I don't know.

In any case, those of you who have pets, enjoy them, because I've wanted to own a puppy or a kitten all my life but circumstances have made it impossible in my adult life.

Cheers.

With respect to cats becoming aloof and distant, I don't believe that this is just the nature of cats...

I'm pretty sure that cats spend some of their time trying to figure out what you're doing. When you've got a relatively young cat, watch what they do. They often follow you around and stare at everything you do because they can't figure it out.

I watched one cat go through many contortions about how I brushed my teeth. She'd stare, every time. Sometimes she'd chew on the toothbrush when I wasn't using it. (Ew.) Eventually she got tired of staring and didn't watch anymore.

I assume from her manner at the time that tooth-brushing is something that isn't obvious as to its purpose, and that after spending weeks trying to figure it out the cat gives up.

I think the "aloof and distant" stage comes when the cat has decided that most of your activities are beyond its understanding because you generally don't make any sense.

There's a few ways you can reduce this effect.

Make sure that you don't take the cat away from its mother when it's too young! Kittens don't seem to learn all their social skills from their mother until almost sixteen weeks... worst of all is that they may not learn how to talk.
(Cats do talk to some extent and have a series of sounds that refer to different general concepts, usually desires and attitudes. They need to learn them from other cats, and if they don't then it's just pretty much "myar myar" for the rest of their life.)

Play with the cat on a regular basis - also, having more than one cat is a real bonus. Cats on their own get lonely, and thereby fat and stupid. (The same way humans get lonely, fat and stupid.)

SHOW THEM HOW TO DO THINGS. This is HARD. If you have handle-type doorknobs, teach them how to open the door on their own. They will love you. Anytime a cat can understand anything it's happier.

It also depends on individual cats, obviously. If you see a kitten with a scowly face, rest assured that scowl will stay there for the rest of its life.

BigBlue

You are correct about the baby cats, Like I said I have presently 2 young baby cats about 4 months, their Mother is here with them, and yes, they do speak to each other, and learn from her.

I also Have 2 males cats (1/2 brothers) and they have been teaching them also. As for me teaching them, well, my Big male, Felix, will often just sit on the kitchen counter when I am cleaning, and just watch everything I am doing.. seems to amaze him. Also, when I am sewing, they all gather in my sewing room, most of them on the desk with the sewing maching, and watch everyting I am doing...etc.

They are very inquisitive, and yes, I am a cat person. They have always been there when if I feel off, or doing something new around this place.

I just would not have it any other way..


Bottica
Cat to speak... just listen.

I just finished a series of photo classes involving dark room techniques. I'm trying for a career in Photography. There is a special black door that leads to the dark room that turns in a circular fashion to avoid light getting through. I was early and teacher, Richard went into the dark room to set things up. I walked around a little and started looking at some of the photo work done by previous students from different classes. Then I heard Richard drop something. At first I paid no mind because Richard is rather clutzy and often drops things but it waas unusually loud and I had a nagging feeling to turn around. When I turned around I saw my Uncle Dod standing by the door to the dark room. This was peculiar because he crossed the river in an auto wreck in 1986. Anyway he pointed to the dark room, smiled and then disappeared about two seconds later.

Oooh, spooky Raven. Maybe he was happy that you have taken up photography and wanted to show you that, like in "pointing you in the right direction".

Maybe we should rename this the Cat thread...:D
My two female cats talk a lot too and one of them has this stunningly funny voice, she sounds like a goat! She can't meow normally like other cats, it sounds like she has been drinking and smoking all her life.
Maybe she's Janis Joplin reincarnated. :D

I accidentally found this site in a newsletter -

http://greenfield.fortunecity.com/rattler/281/abilities/abilitiesengl.html

I've never used a link in a post before so I hope it works.
For all you cat lovers I think you'll find it more than interesting. I was a little taken aback because of what we've been talking about.

Have a read and let me know what you think?
Teri. :)

Since we're talking about cats, the first time I tried to astral project I felt completely paralyzed, this scared me and I wanted to wake up. I was concious of my physical body, I knew I was lying on my side facing the wall. Suddenly I felt how a creature which I definately felt to be cat had jumped onto my back and dug it's claws into me. At first I thought it was my cat, a young tabby who is very spoilt and not overly fond of being petted and stroked, had jumped onto my back in a fit of anger seeking revenge for all the times I had huged and stroked her!
Luckily this was not the case, waking up I realized that the cat was not and had not been in my room. My intuition tells me that it was no less than a negative entity from the astral plane trying to stop me from projecting...

Anyhow. I am not into sharing psychic/mystical/spiritual experiences simply because I know that they are not not had because they are meant to be shared, they aren't merely 'cool things that happen', or 'great storys to tell people'. They are so much more than that, for one thing they are very real and very serious. I fully believe it is very contrary to ones own and others spiritual progress to go about blabbing about experiences during meditation, or dreams with evidently profound meanings...
I don't think, however, seeing apparitions and ghosts count as profound spiritual experiences(unless you feel it to be one or are given a message), so I guess this can't hurt.

Sorry if I upset anyone with my words. I just don't believe it's right to go about treating spiritual experinces as if they were a movie you saw or a song on the radio.

You are free to believe what ever you want.

My cat visitor came again last night. I don't know whether it was because I had been thinking about my brother who is now dead, or whether it was because i've been very depressed, but first I became aware that I was awake and then a 'flush' came over me - that's the only way I can describe it, like when you feel your face go hot when you blush, this happened all over my body, and then the little paws just walking down around my legs. This flush feeling is a new experience, and it still doesn't scare me in any way, but I'm so curious as to who or what it actually is.

Cheers
Teri:)

You might try astral projection, I am sure you would see your little friend(as it is obviously fond of you and probably means no harm) when in the astral. If it is a manifestation of your brothers doing you might even be able to speak with him. However apparently it is only the very recently deceased who come to visit people at night before their conciousness slowly joins with the universe, (to be eventualy reborn, or not). Very rarely do they stick arround.

I am speaking voodoo, but you must admit this is a very interesting phenomenon, for one thing it is very uncommon for 'astral' entities to manifest physicaly. I would be most interested in hearing about what you come up with if you do some research.

I wish I knew how to astral project. I've got no clue how to even start. My brother died in 2001 - is that still fresh enough for him to be around still?

It is an interesting topic and I will do some research on the net. If you've got any good sites for learning let us know.

Cheers.
Teri

Do a google search. You will find everything you need to know about AP, some info is better than others though.

No, I don't believe it's close enough as what I think the usual time we are talking about is at most 1 week, however I don't know about special cases. I think it's possible to leave behind an 'emotional imprint' upon a house or place if there has been a whole lot of strong emotions arround the time of death, (tragic deaths etc..) this is what is perceived as ghosts or a 'presense'. But I realy don't know too much about it and could be completely wrong.

I hope you can find peace in your brothers memory, it's terrible to lose a loved one but remember that he's simply moved on to the next stage, what ever that may be.
