Sage, Luna, and Remedy have never been to medical school. That’s exactly why I trust them.
Let me ask you something. When was the last time your doctor curled up on your chest and purred? When did they last sit with you for hours, silently assessing your energy field without once checking their phone? My cats sense health problems in ways modern medicine refuses to acknowledge. Furthermore, they do it with more compassion than any specialist I’ve encountered.
Your body is always communicating. My cats are always listening. That’s more than I can say for most physicians.
How Cats Sense Health Problems
Cats have been healers for millennia. The ancient Egyptians understood this. Additionally, they have 200 million scent receptors compared to our mere 5 million. They detect chemical changes in your body before any blood test could. Therefore, when Sage—my eldest cat—refused to leave my side last March, I didn’t need a doctor to tell me something was off. I knew.
What was it? I’m still not entirely sure. However, I adjusted my supplements, did a three-day cleanse, and Sage eventually relaxed. Coincidence? I don’t believe in those anymore. As I’ve written about the body’s intuition, the answers are always available if we know where to look. Sometimes, the answer is a cat.
The Three Diagnostic Cats
Each of my cats sense health problems differently. Sage focuses on emotional imbalances—she sits with me during anxiety, which is often. Furthermore, Luna specializes in digestive issues and always appears when my gut is unhappy. Additionally, Remedy—named prophetically, as it turns out—seems attuned to energetic blockages. When she stares at a particular part of my body, I pay attention.
Last month, Remedy stared at my left shoulder for twenty minutes. Consequently, I visited my chiropractor colleague in Phoenix. Moreover, she found a misalignment I hadn’t noticed. Would my regular doctor have caught it? Unlikely. They’re too busy prescribing things.
What Your Pets Know That Medicine Doesn’t
Cats sense health problems because they haven’t been corrupted by pharmaceutical training. They don’t know what they’re “supposed” to find. Therefore, they simply observe. They feel. They respond to what is, not what the textbook says should be.
I’m not suggesting you replace your healthcare provider with a cat. However, I am suggesting that your cat might notice something your provider misses. Furthermore, they don’t charge a copay. And they don’t make you wait 45 minutes in a room with outdated magazines.
Tonight, when your cat sits on your chest at 3 AM, don’t push them away. They might be telling you something. Listen to the message. Trust the messenger. Namaste, and stay attuned.
