Cattitude - Episode 314 Your Cat Is Talking—Are You Listening?

Episode Description from the Publisher

What if your cat could tell you exactly what they're thinking? This week on Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes animal communicator Zan Ottaway, whose approach combines intuitive communication with an understanding of animal behavior. Zan explains how she connects with cats, why she believes anyone can become more receptive to what their pets are communicating, and why cats aren't being spiteful when they act out—they may instead be expressing insecurity, excitement or stress. Michelle even puts Zan's ideas to the test with her own misunderstood cat, Charlotte, as they explore one of the most frustrating feline problems of all: litter box issues. The conversation also takes a touching turn as Zan discusses how cats grieve, communicating with pets who have passed, the guilt many pet parents experience after losing a beloved animal, and her work helping rescue animals. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic or simply wish your cat came with a translator, this episode may have you looking—and listening—to your feline companion in an entirely new way.EPISODE NOTES: Your Cat Is Talking—Are You Listening?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cattitude-the-1-cat-podcast--6666768/support.
