Redcat Tuesday 7 October 2024
Cat with a Cause, 1. Humans with Anxiety about Horses.

Since we didn’t pick out a kitty to be the Redcat, He chose us. And since we are not proclaimed feline experts, He also made most of his own decisions. Without very much to use as a reference, whatever Redcat did (or didn’t do) we just accepted that as what cats do or do not do. As time passed and we met more humans who knew more about cats than we did, and then some of the decisions he made we began to put more introspection around that. The heightened vocals and depth of conversation and the ban on hunting were both a bit unique, yet not unheard-of in the feline world making him interesting. What made this cat special? His Cause. He had one or two. Took his assignment seriously. Redcat was nice to just about everyone, he did not appear to have any enemies. Agreeable, live and let be. So, then what made him so prudent on making sure that humans could release anxiety enough to become closer to the horses? He would vanish once completed, so his motive was not about stealing therapy thunder.

For a decade we saw this occur repeatedly. When there was true fear or anxiety (often clients will say they are afraid of the horses, yet it will reveal as something else), about being in proximity to a horse. Redcat could feel that and know the difference. His routine would then become immersed in making a connection between that human and a horse. The scenario usually began with him entering the space, making the necessary steps to his candidate, then lots of vocals as if to say “Hi. I have 4legs, fur, and only 15 pounds!” Once he was noticed and connected (easy for him), He would then begin interacting with a horse(s) – checking in that his human candidate was paying attention. At times he would really make his point by walking around the legs of a horse or sitting under their belly. Once a connection was made, or beginning to take place, Redcat would just leave the arena. The ‘connection icebreaker’ talents shown up as His CAUSE here with us. How did he know, we do not know. He did know though, when someone needed him to help. For that, am so grateful as several would have missed their chance without his intervention. Have often wondered what the horses thought about their self-selected sideline helper…?

Redcat Tuesday 6 in September 2024CATversations with Red. As these posts are coming forward (one per month) highlighting the interesting unique-ness of our ginger feline friend we are focusing on twelve topics that really had him stand out in our observations. This month is all about how vocal and talkative Redcat was in all of his glory. For years, he would engage in conversation, or CATversation as we ended up tagging it. What does this mean? Well, he meowed of course, yet there were so many intonations of his vocal abilities that in time became to mean specific things. Redcat vocab had a plethora of chirps, squeeks, squawks, and howls that when applied could show emphasis on his communication skills. Also, he had a way of being loudly vocal, unrelenting when he wanted your attention. While there is not a huge variety to compare to, what we will say here is that Redcat had a voice and he never was shy about using it. Are all cats this way? Do not know. Time will tell supposing. Yet, Redcat was this way and it became quite normal to have a full blown conversation back and forth for as long as he wanted it to continue. Here are a few short clips to show an example of this. Will link in our story the granddaddy which incorporates his catversationalism in addition to the use of body language and selective SILENCE to prove his point of view. Shot all in one edit, just added text and music. Enjoy! Redcat2008-3/26/2024Self-appointed therapist, feline, trauma groups with the horses 2014-2024😻🙀😼😹
