A is for Anpsi:
A term for psychic phenomena involving the interactions of
animals with humans.
In doing my research for the first letter of the Pagan BlogProject 2013, I wanted something different but yet something I could relate
to. I have animals all around me. I feel their energy and even talk to
them. Not like Mr. Ed, but more like a
very subtle voice that creeps into my head when they are around. Note, this is not something you can share
with your psychologist. (giggle)
In my research on the web there’s not a great deal of
information about Anpsi or Animal Psi. We've heard about the dog that traveled
across the country to find his lost family.
Or the cat that ends up back at home after being lost for years. These are the types of things that most attribute
to Anspi. There are even companies out
there that will claim to use Anpsi to assist in helping with behavior therapy for
pets. A quick Google Search for – Psychic
who talks to animals – will give you a nice long list to review.
I believe that we can indeed “communicate” with
animals. The main thing to remember is
that the animals would be the one’s talking.
We should actually be “listening” to the animals. I have two very real communicating animals in
my house.
First we have Sheba.

Sheba belonged to hubby before we got married. She communicates with the dead. She would sit for hours in a section of hubby’s
grandmother’s house and chat away. She’d
meow at the chair or stand in front of the stove and just talk talk talk. We believed that hubby’s grandmother’s spirit
was still in the house.
After we packed her up and moved her across the county, she’s
taken up residence on my ancestor altar.
She sits there for hours. We also
have a very active corner of the house where again, she sits and meows for
hours.

Next we have Melon.

Melon is my kids cat.
Melon came to use as part of a litter we rescued from the shelter. We drove up there and the Lola picked out the
one bright orange kitty in the litter.

The lady told her, we will be putting the rest of the litter
down. She began to cry, so hubby took
all of them. We raised them and found
the rest homes, but Melon stayed here.
Melon chats with me from time to time.
He can even physically say “mama”.
When I lose things in the house; Melon knows where they
are. Several times, I’ll ask out loud, “Melon,
where are the keys?” and a little voice will come in my head and tell me where
they are. He is terrified of loud noises
and storms.

He loves pets and
drools. He doesn't talk to the dead, but
yet helps the absent minded living find the things they've misplaced.
I think this was a great find. I knew that I could “talk” to the animals but
just didn't know what it was called. Hope you've found this informative and
entertaining.
Namaste & Blessed Be

Very COOL!! Love this post...
I do love the kitties. I agree with you that some are more attuned to spirits than others as well. I just lost one of mine on New Year's Eve so this was great to read of cats with good loving homes. Best in the new year to you!
Love it. :)
I loved this post! I thought about joining up for PBP but never quite figured it out, I'm still thrilled whenever someone I follow posts one, though.
Interesting topic and your kitties are beautiful! I love that you were able to save Melon's siblings. ^_^
Great post. :) Love it.
