I am a paramedical examiner and I set appointments with people at their homes which allows me to meet alot of pets in their own homes. I have found that almost all the cats I meet and quite a few of the dogs greet me as if they know me. My grandfather had been a farmer and he spoiled and made a pet out of every animal he knew. Including cows, horses, black Angus bulls, dogs and cats. Is their a special aura that I could have inherited from him. I consider myself a cat only person so I can see why cats love me but the dogs are a mystery to me.
I also have found that I talk to cats on their level. My Tabby, Mittens, talks to me all the time and I know what she is talking about but I am not sure how I know. I can look at Mittens sometimes and know what she is thinking. My son thinks I make this stuff up, he is a synical 14 year old, but he does the samething without knowing it. I will hear Mitten talking to him and will ask him what she said and he will tell me. How can we do this. I also feel that I have never met a cat I did not know. I walked into a friends mothers home once and her cat, Twit, came running up to me like I was someone she knew. She had questions in her eyes. I just want to understand what it is about me that the cats know that I don't.
