Micky had a very traumatic story before he ended up with his wonderful mom and dad. His mom wanted me to have a general question & answer session with him to see how the past had affected him and how he was doing now. I was expecting a serious session BUT when I connected to Micky: The Mightiest Maus, he was completely opposite to what type of serious and possibly sad personality I expected. This was a little clown of a cat who loved life and didn’t dwell on the past.

His mom had her questions ready to get started, but Micky felt the first thing he needed to talk about once I connected was that he was extremely upset about the “ant situation” and how much they annoy him (his mom confirmed that there was an ant problem) - he was convinced that the ants follow him around all over. I decided to go the route of explaining that it was impossible for the ants to be following him, ants weren’t that clever.

Micky: "They make me mad"
Me: Alright, well, there isn't much that can be done about the ants; they also live there. Can you try to avoid them?
Micky: "They follow me!"
Me: Ants don't follow cats unless they have sweet things on them, do you have sweets on you?
Micky: "No"
Me: Okay, so I promise you they're not following you. They are just looking for things to eat—and they won't eat you. Do you think we can move past the ants and answer your mom's questions? She wants to talk to you.
Micky: "Okay, but I still hate them"
Me: Noted and I have told your mom that you are unhappy with the ants.

The rest of the Q&A was funny, bizarre, and entertaining, but the ant situation needed to be addressed again because he just wouldn’t let go of it. This was serious according to Micky and he needed to make sure that we understood the gravity of the situation. His mom reassured him that she would try to fix the ant problem as soon as possible.

We also needed to have a chat about his low water intake, as well as the fact that he preferred drinking swampy water from an old pond, after tense negotiations, swamp water won in the end.

When asked what his favourite thing was, I saw him licking at human faces and it turns out that he says hi to his mom and dad while they are still in bed by licking them. He also mentioned his love for “Margaritas” (which I think is Margarine. No, his mom had never made him a margarita).

Micky Is such a resilient character who tries not to take life too seriously. I am glad that we went the route of light-hearted conversation instead of bringing up the terrible past. Sometimes bringing up the past can do more harm than good, and Micky helped me realise the importance of that.

A common misconception is that Rainbow Bridge sessions are sad and depressing, and I have found many of my new clients who don’t know what to expect being scared or anxious before the session begins. Fortunately, they seem to relax as the session progresses and often even start to enjoy it.

My thoughts about these readings are to always expect the unexpected, because it can often take a surprising route. Animals can be clowns, and it is completely okay (and encouraged) to laugh – and believe me, I laugh just as much sometimes. I’ve had clients laugh while they are busy crying their eyes out.

It's like a rollercoaster of emotions; there are usually tears, but often joy. Laughter is a great healer, and hearing from an animal with a great sense of humour helps the parents a lot. It is a great feeling of satisfaction when I can see this, because laughter through the tears is vital for healing, after all, that is what the sessions are about – finding healing and peace through the pain of a great loss.

An animal rarely wants to speak about the way they died, they don’t want to remember it, manner of death is important to people, not animals, and expecting an animal to speak about it will rarely happen. They usually understand that nothing will change the circumstances, which is why they don’t find it meaningful to speak about.

The parents have a great impact on the way these sessions go, and not having any expectations opens the session up to anything, realising that yes, the animal and the humans do grieve, but there are many different ways to allow the healing. However, in saying this I have found that there are parents who do close themselves off, and sometimes even get offended if an animal makes a joke, or says something comical and true to their nature, as if it is completely wrong for the animal to have some sense of peace and happiness after crossing. This, in turn, will cause the session to become extremely morbid and I have found that there is a low to no chance of closure, I can even feel the disappointment of the animal when the session ends the way they wanted because they felt that they couldn’t say what they wanted to say.

Sometimes an animal feels like they should not have passed on and that they are struggling to cope and accept the loss of their families, in these cases, I change the classification of Rainbow Bridge readings to counselling sessions, because the animal needs to find peace, and they need healing first. The rainbow bridge session can be done at a later time once there is acceptance.

I have experienced so many different things, some animals leaving mini "last wills" as to what is to be done with their toys, asking to speak to another pet in the household who is struggling to cope, making jokes, and even laughing at comical memories of parents falling (yes, some of us humans aren’t the only ones who laugh at each other when we face plant in a field), what flowers to plant, where they want their ashes to be scattered (some animals sometimes don’t even care what happens to their ashes). Many messages about what they will send as reminders of them and I recently had an animal confirm a certain area where his mom feels his essence the strongest.

Laughter is vital through all of the pain, and tears are important. And it is okay to feel peace. You are not betraying them; you are living with perfect memories.

Do you have a memory from a rainbow bridge reading that you would like to share? I would love to hear about it!

Speaking to Stoffel and the other honeybadgers was so awesome.

He's an old boy now, but the torch was passed to two other escapees.

Understanding the reason for bad behaviour is always important, hearing what the animal has to say and dissecting what is said and how it is said is vital. It takes experience in both behaviour and communication to achieve the desired results, but it is also important to always remember that they are still animals at the end of the day, my success rate is 95% for behavioural issues, purely because some behaviours can never be changed, whether it is a breed specific behaviour or natural instinct, the pet parent not being willing to change or take advice, or simply that too much expected from the animal.

Dearest little Skimmel is a gorgeous little girl whose parents were quite desperately looking for assistance because Skimmel was pooping on the kitchen counter. For obvious reasons, this was a major problem, and it was important to rectify the issue as soon as possible. I had worked with her mom before on a different case and knew that she would take my advice and follow through with recommendations – the parents must be willing to assist as needed.
The first thing that came through was the fact that she wanted to be “seen” by the other cats in the household. Even though she accepted that she was pretty, the tone of her voice lacked self-confidence, which, in turn, led to her body language not relaying accurately to the other cats.

*Tell me about yourself?
"I think I am pretty, but no one sees it"
*I do, you are very pretty, and your mom and dad know you're pretty, don't you think that's all that matters?
"No, I also want the others to"
*Well, sometimes other cats are in their own world.
*How do you feel about the others?
"I don't get a chance to be nice"
*So, you have tried?
"I have"
*I am so sorry to hear that. It must be difficult.
"It makes me sad"

I also picked up that the other cats were most likely bullying her (she would not confirm this), or she just did not feel safe going into the garden to do her peeps and poops. Going on top of the counter gave a perfect vantage point to look out for possible threats – almost like human battles fought on a high vantage point.

Normally I will think of the approach that I will take as the session starts and gauge how and what is said. I decided to help build her confidence and teach her how to positively interact with the other cats in the household.

*… you need to accept that you are worthy and important. Never let others see you otherwise, show them you are absolutely awesome! Can you try that?
"I can try, I don't know if I can"
*We all know you can, you just need to believe it and it will be true.
*And besides, if you feel worthy and important then they will want to be nice to you. Some animals can be mean if another one feels sad and weak, but if you are happy and know you are important and worthy then you will gain the respect of the others. It's really sad that some animals and even people are like that, but it's an unfortunate reality of life. Do you understand?
"I think I do"

I then explained hygiene to her as well as the consequences of bad hygiene. And I recommended that 2 litterboxes be added, the next day I got pictures of two new, fancy litterboxes. We allowed her to choose where she would want the main one to be. She said the “far place” for the one – and we had no idea where that could be, so it was a guess in the end.

The first night, there was an “oopsie” on the counter and I gently reminded her again about hygiene and to work on speaking to the other cats. Her mom decided to move one litterbox to a different “far place” where Skimmel was sleeping the next day.

That would be the last oopsie she had – her mom, dad and I were so incredibly proud of her, and she was constantly reminded about that. On the third night I decided to deliberately not do a check-in (some animals will push their luck if they think I’m not involved anymore) and still, no oopsies. Skimmel was doing the work, and she was progressing at a rapid rate.

I received constant videos of her interactions with the other cats, and it just got better and better. When I would chat with her, I would give her advice about how to speak to the other cats. And as her confidence grew, her body language changed, and she was getting more and more relaxed.

It’s always so fulfilling when an animal shows growth and willingness to work to improve, they usually know that it is to help them. But it needs to be a healthy balance of expectation vs what the animal is able to accomplish.

I hope that Skimmel’s self-confidence keeps growing, this pretty, amazing little girl has made everyone so proud.
