Yup, that was a genuine request from a client)
In their eyes, ‘Animal Communicator’ = ‘magic wand bearer’. 🧙♀️
Now, don’t get me wrong, I would LOVE to run around waving a magic wand, fixing everyone’s problems… (kind of!)
…but animal communication is NOT a magic wand, and it certainly does NOT involve telling animals what to do, and what not to do.
Just being able to TALK to an animal doesn’t always mean I can change their behaviour. (Sometimes, yes, but not always.)
Being able to talk, and listen, to animals, means that I can give them a chance to explain THEIR side of the story.
HOWEVER, using the example above. I cannot go to a cat and ask it:
“Why are you acting like an arse?”
…because in its eyes, it’s acting that certain way in response to something, or because it simply loves doing it.
So, first I would find out from the person, what their definition of ‘acting like an arse’ is:
🤡Is it running around like a loon as soon as the lights are turned off?
🤡Is it chewing the furniture?
🤡Is it howling at the moon?
🤡Is it biting your nose as you sleep?
Once I’ve defined the behaviour, I can then ask the cat:
📞 “What are you thinking when you run around when the lights go off?”
📞”What are you thinking when you chew the furniture?”
📞”What are you thinking when you howl at the moon?”
📞”What are you thinking when you bite your mum’s nose when she’s sleeping?”
*I tend to ask “what are you thinking” rather than “why” as it’s easier for them to explain what goes through their head as they’re doing something, than giving you a reason for it.
Once we know these answers, we can all move forward.
Either I work with the guardian and the animal to come to some sort of agreement, OR I recommend the person contacts a behaviourist to work through it with the animal.
🌠 But they can now do this with an understanding of WHY the animal acts a certain way, so the behavioural changes come with taking the animal’s perspective into account.
🌠… and how much more receptive are we to behaviour changes, if our views are taken into account?
