"Wow, you really do look a bit like a bear!" I said, opening the conversation. "Well, I'm a cat. But yes, I've been told that," said Bear. It already felt like he knew why I came to visit, so I asked, "Do I need to introduce myself and explain what I'm doing?" "No, I know who you are. Mom and her friends." (says slightly like a teenager, rolling her eyes) "You don't approve?" I inquired. "It's great for her. She's doing wonderful things for people and animals. But cats have less patience for things like this. We just want to get on with cat things. Where's my food, do you have any treats, okay, I'm off." So I said, "Some people would prefer a more balanced relationship, more give and take." "People aren't cats now, are they?" he replied. "No, but you are a cat living among people, even relying on them for things. Some love and warmth and friendliness could go a long way." "Oh, I do plenty of that. I'm just saying it's not necessarily part of our nature." I got the feeling he was fully aware of this "game" and was having some fun. "Okay, I understand," I said. "So, what do you think about helping me learn body scanning?" "Who's the unlucky victim?" <looks around> Again, more playing! "Well, your mom thought you might be up for it." <looks around again in surprise> but it felt like he knew exactly what was going on and this was just an act. "Sure, let's get on with it," he relented, good-naturedly. I asked, "Any suggestions for the best way to do this?" "See if you can visualize my light body, my aura." "I see a glow of light around you." "Okay, that's my personal space. After getting permission to breach that, reach out with your mind or hands and enter. You should feel immediately connected." I got a visual of a big water mill. It looks like Bear had climbed up on one of the rungs and then had fallen from the top. It didn't feel like it was recent. "Are you still hurting from that?" I asked. "Mostly just my ego, if we're being honest." I tried to refocus on the body scan and got a wave of nausea. "Is that from you, Bear?" "It comes and goes," he replied. "Anything we can do to help?" "I'm on it," he said. I feel a rawness in his throat, like he tried to swallow something too big or sharp and it roughed things up. It doesn't feel serious. I ran my hands down his back and then his back legs and paws and when I got to his right back paw, he whipped around and hissed. Something seems very sensitive there? "If you keep looking, you're going to keep finding things," he said. "Your mind will just start making things up." Probably true. "So, should I stop?" I asked. "I think I'm done," he answered. "Okay, thank you for the nice conversation, letting me get to know you, and for the help with practicing. I appreciate it!" "Okay," he said, then slightly under his breath: "back to your people stuff. I'm going back to my cat stuff." He didn't say this in a mean or rude way. It was with good manners, but with a knowing that the cat stuff is the important stuff and the human stuff is just silly. Feedback:That's amazing and so Bear. I love your conversation with him. You picked up exactly what his problem is plus a previous drama. You are SO GOOD. When he was a kitten he climbed up our huge tree about 60 feet high. There was no way to get him down and we knew it was only a matter of time before he fell to his death. He was terrified and calling out for help. I asked my husband to get the chainsaw and cut the big bough. Then I prayed he would hang on the bough until it hit the ground. He stayed on 3/4 of the way then free fell to the ground, he stayed within the lighter branches which cushioned his fall. Thankfully he was unhurt. We got him as a feral kitten at 4 weeks of age. He got cat flu a week later. He fell out of the tree about 12 weeks old. That would be the ladder like picture he showed you. It did hurt his pride. About 3 years ago he was hit by a car and almost died. The car hit the left of his jaw and damaged his pelvis and ligaments etc. since then he visits our human Chiro regularly, was 6 months but now getting to 3 monthly. His left back leg wobbles when his pelvis is out of alignment and it's usually that side that hurts but last time the Chiro said it was his right hip and leg that was very painful. So extremely well done Josh. You got his problems spot on. To share a funny story which backs up your assessment of his personality. One day he'd been harassing one of other cats and I asked him to please leave her alone and stop fighting with her. He stalked off and in a very droll, determined tone said, 'It will be dealt with the cat way.' No reprieve for the other cat :-). You did so fantastic with this scan Josh. His pain is just as you described and so is his personality.
