I met Cheryl when she enrolled in the Jacksonville, FL, Animal Communication seminar in 2003. Like all my other students that weekend, Cheryl had companion animals waiting at home. She was hoping to refresh her animal communication skills which I was happy that weekend proved to do for her. Like myself, most of my students feel too emotionally involved to communicate with their own animals when a healthcare issue is involved. So was the case for Cheryl and her feline friend, Bela, and she set up a consult with me. This, she felt, would help her be sure that she was getting an accurate communication from Bela from an outside party with no vested emotional ties to him. Bela is a sweet little guy who has a deformed front foot. Cheryl had looked into many holistic therapies to try to help Bela's foot be less of a cumbersome limb, but now wanted to ask him if he would help her correct his deformity through surgery. Bela didn't see the point and actually asked that his useless limb be removed. He felt he would be whole cat with three legs, because the one in question was dead, in his opinion. Reluctantly Bela agreed to go to the orthopedist to see what could be done and she informed him they would do that the very next day. It was now that Ike, Cheryl's other companion cat, chimed in with his words of wisdom. This story ends on a very happy note, too: Cheryl wrote to tell me this in a recent email: "Bela's surgery went very well. The vet started out saying he could save two toes for sure, but he saved all 4. Bela is using his leg and it is strong and looks nearly normal. I will take him back because the vet said he could carve on the 4th toe joint. It still prevents him from walking normally on the big pad. Bela could probably care less!" I agree with her — Bela could care less. |
