Intuition not Superstition

Are you superstitious?

Until 2019 we had Miss Jo-Jo

We’ve also had three cats who looked black then either as they grew or in the sun you realised they were chocolate brown. Chocolate though, what’s not to love?

Seriously, we don’t get cats for any other reason than we connect immediately, obviously we also make sure they’re connecting with us. Rescue centres always roll their eyes and we get versions of “you can’t expect cats to show you they like you immediately!” Or something else suggesting frustration at our total self-focus.

They also try to educate us, which is when they get the 40 year explanation, yep I’ve been a cats mum for 40 years, and although Tony had a break when he left home, he was raised with cats. So 33 years plus a bit.

Do we know everything? Are you kidding me? Like humans they’re all individual and you have to learn about them and what they need. However, we respect their rights as living beings to be happy with us, so we wait quietly to see if they show a sense of comfort around us, they’re not scared.

If they refuse to come near in the very clear way only a cat can, then we know they’re saying no. We’re not the problem, we’re in danger of having all the cats 😻🤣, only wanting to be able to take proper care of them stops us. You have to be responsible. They rely on you for that.

Our Charlie was a ball of emotionally damaged fury when we got him, rightly so poor little man. The first thing he did was bit us both and pounded on us, but he did come near us and he wasn’t afraid to let us know how upset he was.

So yes we took a furious three-legged kitten,and we watched, waited, changed his name because he hated the sound of a name associated with nothing but hurt, and we landed up with the most beautiful boy, for far too short a time sadly. He died very suddenly, probably as a result of a ten hour operation at 8 weeks old, our vet said he’d seen that twice before in similar circumstances. Sad but so worth it.

So nope, we don’t get cats for luck we get them for love. Love of them, and with the exception of a few people, that has been the main light in our lives. We owe them a lot.

Apart from that…

I’m trying to think of superstitions. I had OCD when I was younger so I had a turning lights on and off three times thing and was laughed at by the people causing it. 🤣 I sorted that. My brother had it too, he sorted it too.

I have a crystal skull I can’t bear to be without, but that’s the energy of the crystal.

I think I’d have to look up superstitions to be really sure, but hey, who needs them?

I live my life on energy and the feelings that come with it. Twice this week I’ve been caught out by ignoring myself. The second time something said to me “don’t put that plant back on that windowsill.” Followed by “why on earth not it’s happy there?” Place plant.

Thank you Mimi or Lily for proving to me that I can trust my intuition.

Yep, intuition not superstition.

And love, as much of it as often as possible, for all of us, everywhere.
