Martha has volunteered to host her cat Serenity as our next Featured Animal Teacher (FAT). You will enjoy getting to know this wonderful animal teacher.
Gold & Platinum members will have an opportunity to connect with Serenity along with Val on the next Q&A call Saturday, October 13. We encourage all of you to connect with Daisy now and through out the month.
Tune into Serentiy first and see what you sense. It’s not just about getting words although that’s a lot of fun when it happens. Remember that telepathic comes from ‘tele’ meaning over a distance like telephone and television, and ‘pathic’ that comes from pathos. So literally telepathic is emotion over a distance.
How does Serenity feel to you? Happy? Sad? Excited? etc.
Ask Serenity ice breaker questions as you might with any new teacher. It’s not about “getting the right answer” but about connecting with a wonderful animal.
Have fun!
Many thanks to Martha for offering to host Serenity as our Featured Animal Teacher for this month. We look forward to Martha and Serenity sharing feedback, information and stories along our journey.

This is really crazy!! I had this conversation with Serenity two days ago not knowing she was going to be the FAT.p but because I wanted more practice with animals. I messaged the conversation to Martha and now here Serenity is! She is soooooo happy to be the FAT.
Here is the conversation:
Hello Serenity I’m Barb. I am learning how to talk to animals like your mom, Martha.
How come Hawkeye got to talk so much. Nobody talks to me. I like to talk to people.
Well. I was wondering if you would mind if we had a chat.
Yay!
Can you show me around your home?
Purrrrr……
I got a vision of a white floor. I also got a vision of a grey couch and a big window overlooking a forest.
Do you go out?
Oh no…I just look out. I stay safe. I like my house inside and feeling safe.
Do you have a favorite place to sleep?
I like beds. Any and all….meow….
Do you play with toys?
Not really. I just like to watch the world go by. I hang out with Hawkeye. I enjoy sleeping and sunning. I’m a good companion. That is my number one job.
Do you have a favorite food?
Tuna? I got a vision of a round can.
Do you have anything to tell me or Martha?
Just being is ok. You don’t have to rush around and accomplish things. What you need to do will come around. Just listen.
Thank You for sharing. I will talk to you again soon.
I love to talk!
Goodbye for now. (Tail swishes and she walks away) no goodbye…..

Hi Barb,
I thought I’d answer your messages here, too, since I saw these posts. As for the white floor, we have three areas white linoleum that mostly white. The floors do have tan lines forming squares, but they’re mostly white. In regards to the couch, it’s a dark brown, but I can see where it might seem grey to a human in a vision. We don’t over look a forest, but after you reconnected with Serenity, you found out Serenity thinks I’d breathe easier overlooking a forest. I don’t have breathing problems, but overlooking the forest might be calming. Do you think Serenity was telling you that she would breathe easier overlooking the forest?Serenity does not go outside. She definitely likes to stay inside and be safe. We have a balcony that she walks right onto from our apartment, but it’s enclosed and she doesn’t go outside.
As far as beds go, she had two kitty beds, but she doesn’t have kitty beds now. She didn’t seem to be particularly interested in them. She likes to spend time on the futon, in her kitty carriers that each have a towel in them, and on the couch. She also has boxes that each have a blanket in them and has spend periods of time hanging out in them.
It’s true Serenity doesn’t play much with toys. She doesn’t hangout much next to Hawkeye. She does sometimes hang out in the same room with Hawkeye. She is a MEOWvelous companion!
For food they get raw food in nugget form now. In the past she got canned food and some had tuna in it. She likes canned tuna though, but due to mercury concerns, I haven’t given canned tuna to her many times.
I love the message she said! It’s so wise and important. I was thinking about it recently. It helped me to slow down. I hope to make it part of my daily life.
Thank you for connecting with Serenity. Please feel free to connect with Serenity any time you both want to connect.

I connected with Serenity for a short while and a past life of a wildcat in a forest popped up. I do not think she would have recollection of this. So I asked universe why is this image relevant today. Serenity said: Mom can relax in the forest and be able to breathe more easily.
This is all kind of weird to me but I’m posting it anyway.-
10/12/2018 at 9:44 am #53557Martha BreedingPlatinum Member
Hi Barb,
If I remember correctly and understood correctly, Val one time said that nonhuman animals remember more about their past lives than humans do. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if Serenity does remember being a wildcat in a forest in a past life.As for the part about me being able to relax and breathe more easily in the forest, I don’t have breathing problems. However, I think overlooking a forest from wherever my cats and I live would be relaxing. Serenity does have from time to time a stuffy sounding nose. Was she telling you that overlooking a forest from wherever we live would help her breathe more easily?
Thank you again for connecting with Serenity. I welcome you to connect with her anytime you’re both interested in connecting.

Hi Martha,
Thank you for offering Serenity as October’s FAT. I introduced myself and praised her for being so huggable-looking with her soft white torso fur and winsome expression. I can’t quite pin down that appealing expression in her eyes; I just know no one would ever want to disappoint her. Serenity seemed to respond, I take good care of myself, and I like hugging and kissing and squishing myself into sofa corners.
I asked if she liked her name because it seemed to suit her calm, peaceful demeanor. “Yes.”
Serenity seemed to emphasize the bond she and you have as “girls,” and that she was there first with you before Hawkeye. I asked if she was a kitten when you adopted her or whether she was one year old or more. “Kitten.” Also, whether she and you met at an adoption fair like you and Hawkeye met. I got “yes” and that she was so grateful you, and not someone else, brought her home.
When asked, she said she had all her nails and that a vet/vet-tech trims them. She has flat, corrugated cardboard scratchers, not incline ones, and an over-the-doorknob scratching slab. She likes catnip more than Hawkeye does.
Was there anything that would make her happier? “Mental travel adventures” with you because you seem to be doing more with your mind, and you and she are partners.

Hi Carol,
Serenity does have a beautiful face and very sweet expressions. Her eyes make me light up inside. Her fur definitely is soft. Yes, she takes good care of herself. She isn’t big on hugging and kissing. She doesn’t squish up into sofa corners much that I’m aware of. She does, however, spend time on the futon, couch, and in the kitty carriers with towels in them. The kitty carriers don’t have a lot of room, so that might be the “squishy” part you got.I have no doubt Serenity likes her name. It suits her PURRfectly!
Serenity and I do have a girl bond. We have been together in many lifetimes. Our connection is one that I do not know how to truly express into words. She is, always has been, and always will be one of my soulmates.
I got Serenity before Hawkeye, yes. Serenity was six months when I got her. So, yes, under a year.
I actually didn’t meet either of my cats who are in their physical bodies at an adoption fair. Hawkeye was a part of a rescue called Kitten Rescue and was in an enclosure at PetSmart with other cats. Serenity was at Kitten Rescue in the Kitten Room. When I met Serenity and the other kittens in the Kitten Room at Kitten Rescue, it was two weeks until the adoption counselor brought her and the other cat I adopted when I adopted her to our apartment. I love it that she’s grateful I adopted her and not someone else 🙂
Serenity has all her nails, yes. A vet tech has trimmed them before. However, I trim them myself now. In fact, I’m hoping she’ll let me trim them tomorrow.
As for scratching things, she has four flat corrugated cardboard scratchers and one incline one. She has a scratcher that can go on the door knob and hang. I have it out flat for her and Hawkeye though. The one designed to hang on the door knob is not corrugated cardboard. I’m not sure what material that one is.
Serenity and Hawkeye both love catnip. I wouldn’t be surprised if Serenity loves it more than Hawkeye, even though Hawkeye is a bit of a hog with freshly sprinkled catnip when I sprinkle it on the scratchers.
Serenity and I are partners very much so, yes. We have an amazing bond! Where would she like to go in mental travels? When you say she’d like to travel mentally, would she like me to go somewhere in my mind mentally and show her where we are? Would she like me to mentally take her with me when I’m out and about (i.e. running errands)?
Thank you bunches for connecting with Serenity, Carol. Anytime you and Serenity are both interested in connecting, feel free to connect with her!

Thank you for your feedback, Martha. When I wrote “adoption fair,” I had in mind the Kitten and Cat enclosures at PetSmart. I’ve never been to an adoption fair or the PetSmart rescues, so I don’t know how they are different. I remembered that Hawkeye was from a Pet-something (I was thinking Petco but, again, I don’t know the difference) center.
When I wrote Serenity would like a “mental travel adventure” with you, I didn’t think what that might mean. The origin of the phrase seems suggested by (1) Barbara Grout’s image of an apartment window overlooking a forest and of Serenity being a wildcat in a forest, (2) my being in forests/woodlands/parks in Ireland, (3) Texans exclaiming how clean and pure the Irish air is and both you and Serenity breathing better, (4) wanting to share the walks and rides there with someone, (5) soulmates being travelmates, and, I hope, (6) Serenity’s input.
On the trip (and other times), I often thought of my feline soulmate, Miranda Faye, who passed 1/6/11, with me. But how would I take a mental travel adventure with her? I can’t remember the paths I was on, and I don’t have enough imagination to make up the fantastic trees I saw or other beautiful sights. Could we imagine being together as I watch an Amazon Prime travel documentary? Could I let her lead me and see through her eyes? Could we do some mind-blending as I read a book?
As well as the above topic, there’s another question to ask Serenity: what can she tell me about the kitten you adopted when you adopted her?

Hey, asking Serenity to tell you about herself as a kitten when I adopted her is a great idea! If you ask her that, let me know what she says!

I was able to connect with Serenity almost instantly. Very friendly, very sure of herself. she knows what she likes and dislikes. Very agreeable most of the time. Seems very serile in nature. Easy come easy go. I introduced myself and right away she sat down ready to chat. I asked her if she was a talker and she said yes when shes hungry. She’ll circle Marthas legs and meow until she’s fed. I asked her to describe what she ate and got wet and dry together. I asked if there was any other pets and she showed me a small black and white dog that she likes to torment and tease by staying up high. Loves it when he chases her. Favorit thing to do was lying in the sunshine cleaning herself on a desk and looking out of the window. I asked if she had a favorit toy and she looked confused and said my mom picks them out and I play with all of them. I asked her to show me where she sleeps and I had to follow her down a hallway into a bedroom (like a childs room) and she jumped up on a shelf in the closet. Said thats where she hides. I asked her if she likes people and she likes to meet and greet then go hide. I asked her if there was anything she wanted me to say to Martha and she responded very quickly- “more treats that taste like fish.”
I really enjoyed talking to her. She wasn’t shy at all and knew what she was doing.
Thank you for allowing us to talk to Serenity. Very special cat.

Hi Kathy! Thank you bunches for connecting with Serenity. Some of your message was responded to on the call this morning, so I’ll pick up with the dog part. As Val said, Serenity might have been referring to Hawkeye as a dog in a past life. Hawkeye is a cat in this life. He is a Manx. I don’t know if you know a Manx cats, but they are a lot like dogs in that they follow the human around quite often and like to be near the human when the human isn’t moving around. He doesn’t chase her often, but maybe when he does she enjoys it. I’m not sure about that. I have seen her on top of the short kitty condo and tease him a little or something of the sort.
She likes to lie in the sun and to also lie in the sun and bathe. She usually gets just on the table I use as a desk when it’s dinnertime (human food). She likes to sit there then. To simply lie in the sun or to sunbathe she does this on the carpet and on the futon.She plays with toys, but not a lot. I’d like to play with her more often, but until she and I played last night by ourselves, Hawkeye would always jump in and take over the toy and play session.
As far as sleeping goes, she sleeps quite often in one of the two kitty carriers that each have a towel and are on the floor. She also quite often sleeps on the futon in the living room. One of the kitty carriers she sleeps in is in the bedroom.
Quite often when she hides these days I don’t know where she’s hiding. She’s hidden in the bedroom closet before. The shelves have things on them and I don’t think she hides on the shelves in the closet though. I wouldn’t be at all if she hides somewhere in the bedroom closet though.
As far as people go, since I adopted her she hasn’t been around many people as I don’t have visitors to our apartment. Maintenance people have come before to do work, but she hides when they come. She doesn’t greet them.
More treats that taste like fish. I’ll be sure to offer her more treats that taste like fish. Did she say what kind of fish?
Thank you for connecting with her. Please feel free to connect with Serenity anytime you both want to connect.

Hi Patricia. Thanks for connecting with Serenity. I think I’m healthy. Is she picking up on a health matter I’m unaware of? Perhaps she’s concerned about my anxiety/hamster on the wheel thinking. Could you find out more?

Hi Martha,
I connected with Serenity. I really got the feeling that she was helping me to understand, agreeing to reach me. She felt so experienced and able. She seems very careful, perhaps wary, but mostly cautious out of wisdom. She came across as highly intelligent and discerning. I got the impression she was very feminine, like a ballet dancer or a princess with quite intense but contained energy. Her appearance is important to her. She is very discerning and gracious. I kept getting they impression of a jewel, a princess. I felt she was extremely generous with her knowledge. She seemed to show me that she liked to look out of the window, stay warm and think about things, contemplate life, crystallise her understanding of the way life works. She came across as very very loving – a highly evolved being. She showed me a patch of dark energy. She may have been suggesting that you would be happier if you developed a lighter,more playful attitude to life, but I’m not certain about that. I asked her if there was something she didn’t like and she showed me a grey object – a metallic bowl perhaps? AgainI’m not certain. Thank you so much, both of you, for doing FAT October. -

Hi Rosemary!
You were right on almost everything! I don’t see her in windows looking out often, but she spend a lot of time on the futon in the living room and if she wanted to she’d be able to look out the balcony doors-there’s not much to look out at though because there’s a building right next door.It’s interesting you mentioned about the patch of dark energy. Pam mentioned about the dark energy and someone else on the call today (10-13) got about dark energy, too. I’m going to try to clear that the dark energy.
I am not surprised she said she thinks I’d be happier if I developed a lighter, more playful attitude about life. I’m happy now and trying to be lighter and such.
There is a stainless steel (?) bowl and two stainless steel dishes. If it was the bowl she was talking about, what does she not like about it?
Great job! Thank you so much for connecting with Serenity. I welcome you to connect with her again anytime you both are interested in that.

Hi Martha: thank you…I thought that was interesting what Val said about Hawkeye being a dog…I really did see a small white and black dog playing with her. too funny. I need to learn more about that. I have on several occasions picked up another pet in the room. First time it happened, I could tell the energy had changed. But it didn’t this time. As far as the toys, now I know why she looked at me like “Wellll I don’t really have a toy but will play with whatever mom wants to”…explains a lot. As far as hiding on a shelf, it looked like a box on a shelf in the closet…not sure why but I’ve learned to just flow with it. I’m trying to learn what is real and what is smoke coming from the animals. I know I have a connection but feel that sometimes the animal tells me what they want too and not what is real. Like “this is how I would like to see it”, not like this is what is really going on. Does that make sense? OR I am just not seeing clearly yet. working on that. Trying to be more detailed. As for as the people- I saw her not really go and meet them but more like Oh a person, I’ll go hide now. So the meet and greet was not a true description of what I actually saw. another thing I need to learn is how to describe what I actually see.
Thank you for the feedback. This really helps in learning how to talk with them. How to be more observant.Thanks again for allowing us to speak with Serenity…Very special cat.

Hi Kathy,
Haha! That’s funny about animals something giving you information that is how they want it to be rather than what actually is. That’s funny! As for the box in the closet, in the bedroom closet where she has hidden before at least once, there are boxes. There is a small one where she could probably sit if she wanted to. Then, on the other part of the same closet there is one or two maybe larger boxes. Perhaps she was telling you about the boxes.You’re right about when people come over. I rarely have anyone to our apartment. When a human other than myself is in the apartment, it’s maintenance people to do something to the apartment. She hides when they’re here. When the UPS person rings/knocks on the door, she goes and hides, too. When she hears and knock or the door bell ring is when she hides.
I think it’s interesting about the black and white dog, too! Remember, Hawkeye is a Manx and they are like dogs in that they follow their humans around like dogs do. Remember, too, like Val said, cats see color differently. Hawkeye is a buff color (light yellow sort of color-his picture is up if you want to see it) and he also has white on him. I imagine white comes out as white to cats. Maybe the buff is like black to cats. I’m not sure about that one. Hawkeye is around 16-17 pounds and that would be the size of a small dog!
Keep talking to Serenity when you both want to!

I just had a brief chat with Serenity. I introduced myself and asked her if she would help me learn to communicate with animals. I asked her if she liked to play with toys and got it that she has toys and does like to play with them. I suggested we play and tried to send an image of a toy but that did not go well. I asked if there was anything she wanted to talk about but did not get anything. I asked her if I could talk to her again later and she said yes. I told her I had cats and would tell her about my cats.
I found I did not connect well, or it did not seem like it to me and was at a loss as to what to say or ask her. I’m so out of practice and find it difficult without a specific intent other than just to practice. I remember times that it went so well was times when there was a need, something the human was concerned about and in turn something the animal was concerned about. This was sort of like small talk, something I don’t do well with people either.

Hi Martha, Thanks you so much for sharing the lovely Serenity with us. When I connected with her she came righ over to me and was so sweet. She whispered to me that she felt like hiding. I asked her if she would tell me why she felt this way. She gave a sweet little laugh and said she likes to hide as a way of playing games. Then she told me she needed her own space so that was a different reason that she hides. I asked which reason was the one today and she told me it was for her own space. I thanked her for sharing this with me and asked her if I could come back and talk with her again sometime. Serenity then said it would please her if I did.

Hi Margaret,
Thank you for connecting with Serenity. I’m sorry it didn’t go as well as you would have liked. Just keep working on it and it’ll improve in time.
Sereity has toys, yes. She doesn’t play often with them. Sometimes she does though. When she does she really enjoys it!
To help give you something specific to talk about, ask her what her favorite toy is.
Please feel free to communicate with Serenity anytime you both want to! -
10/18/2018 at 7:55 am #53644Margaret DexterGold Member
Thanks for the suggestion of a topic. I’ll try again and ask her about toys. I do find it much easier when there is a purpose to the communication although even then we need to start with other communication before jumping to the question of the day if it is a major thing. I remember the first time I attempted to do an in-person communication. The situation was uncomfortable and I should have just left, but I tried anyway. This was a freebie practice session. The human wanted to know which vet the cat preferred. The cat did not prefer any vet at all and that was the end of the communication. About the same time, I had a very successful communication with a horse, again in-person. It turned out one of the horses had been blind in one eye for some time and had just become blind in the other eye. The horse was eager to talk. She wanted me to turn the lights on. When I explained that the problem was her eye was broken she wanted me to fix it. The animal wanted to talk about something. I have had other situations when the animal welcomed the communication – had something on their mind – and then it was easy.

Hi Margaret,
I think perhaps having chit chat conversation with Serenity would help you and then asking about her favorite toy. Be patient with yourself and go with what you get. We’re all here to support you. 🙂 -
10/17/2018 at 10:10 pm #53639Martha BreedingPlatinum Member
Hi Jo! Serenity is extremely sweet, yes. She does hide when she wants her own space. She does that to center herself. She was probably wanting to center herself when she told you about wanting space for herself. She doesn’t really hide when playing. She does, however, go in the bathroom and push the door to play and get me out of my head and to relax. It’s so cute when she does that!
I welcome you to communicate again with Serenity anytime you both are interested in doing so!
Hugs to you!

Hi Martha,
I’ve just connected with your beautiful girl.
I sensed that she usually takes a moment to weigh up strangers, but is very friendly once she decides she likes them. She came across as a very calm girl, aptly named. She showed me an image of her rubbing against the front of my legs.
She then took me for a walk through the house. I got an image of her walking to the right of the photo, through some glass partition doors into a small dining room, where she jumped onto a window ledge to look into a garden.I sensed a kitchen to the left of the window, with a door leading into a small wooden walkway and down some steps, leading just below the window she was on. She seemed to want to show me around.
I asked how she liked to entertain herself and got an image of her sliding on the floor in her back, batting a little ball initially, but then got a clear image of her playing with a small, fleecy, grey mouse toy.
I’ve got a bit of a headache tonight, so she sent me a little healing. She seemed very empathic and caring.
Thank you for letting us chat with Serenity. ☺️

Hi Melanie,
Thank you for connecting with my girl! She is definitely beautiful, yes 🙂 Inside and out.Serenity is very calm, yes, and her name suits her. I adopted her when she was 6.5 months old. Since I’ve had her she hasn’t been around many strangers. It’s just been maintenance men for the apartment and a guy from the TV, phone, and internet company. I don’t recall her being around any other strangers since I adopted her. She hides while strangers are here.
To the right of the photo, you’re right, there is a small dining area. It’s an open area. We don’t have glass partition doors to the right of the picture. We do, however, in the living room, which is where the picture was taken, there are two large sliding doors that go onto the balcony. Perhaps that is what you picked up on. There is a window in the open dining area. It overlooks the driveway that leads to the parking garage and next door is another apartment building with a courtyard outside and a pool with a sitting area. In regards to the window in the dining area, yes, there is a kitchen (small) to the left of the window if you’re in the living room and facing the dining area. I’m not aware of wooden steps, but our apartment is next to the stairs for the apartment building.
I haven’t seen her slide around on her back, but she and Hawkeye have small, soft, grey toy mice.
I’m sorry you had a headache, but I’m happy Serenity sent you healing. She is very empathic, yes.
Please connect with Serenity again anytime you both are interested!

Oh I forgot to add that I saw some vertical blinds on the wi dow, which Serenity finds annoying. There was a display cabinet to the left with a table next to it. The image was very vivid, which is unusual for me.

Hi Melanie,
Both windows and the sliding doors to the balcony all have vertical blinds, yes. I’m not surprised Serenity finds them annoying because sometimes they get in her way when she wants to catch flies.By display cabinet, do you mean a cabinet where I put collectibles and things? we don’t have one of those. However, against the wall in the bedroom, behind me when I face the bedroom window, there is a large dresser. Perhaps that is what you saw. Could that be it?

when facing the dining room window, the kitchen is behind me against the wall.

Hi Martha,
I took up your suggestion about asking Serenity about her life as a kitten before you adopted her. A half hour, 10:02-10:32 am, went by quickly.
I started off wrong with her today by calling her “Serendipity” before realizing my mistake. She was a good sport and thought it was funny. Because her name is four syllables, I asked if she had a nickname. “Like what?” she asked. “Um, like Ren or Wren because you have the pretty colors of a little bird.” “Not really.” I explained that my first cat was named Persephone, also four syllables, and that I usually called her by her full name, often preceded by Miss. Sometimes, though, I called her Posey because she, especially her paw pads, were fragrant.
Then I asked about her life before you adopted her and seemed to get this. No remembrance of her mother, but of lots of kittens playing in an open space somewhat dark and chilly. She was confused because the place wasn’t right for her but she didn’t know what would be right. She wanted more alone space and not to be picked up without warning as if she had no identity. The best time for her was when the other kittens were quiet after dark and when she could see the dark lightening into day in the window.
To try to get your attention in the kitten room, she sat up straight and curled her tail around her. She wanted someone who’d respect her. You did pick her up gently while talking to her; you smelled good to her and you breathed together. But then you left, and she was back in the shelter wondering what she’d done wrong. She didn’t want to eat. Later, after a scary trip because she didn’t know what to expect, she was with you again with a new name and a new home, and it all felt, finally, right. “I am Serenity, and I am in charge here.”
“Didn’t Martha adopt another kitten when she adopted you?” I asked. Serenity conveyed she was tired and that we’d talk later.

Hi Carol,
Thank you so much for connecting with Serenity!I copied and pasted your message so I wouldn’t miss replying to anything. Please see under your paragraphs where I say, “Response:”.
Hi Martha,
I took up your suggestion about asking Serenity about her life as a kitten before you adopted her. A half hour, 10:02-10:32 am, went by quickly.
I started off wrong with her today by calling her “Serendipity” before realizing my mistake. She was a good sport and thought it was funny. Because her name is four syllables, I asked if she had a nickname. “Like what?” she asked. “Um, like Ren or Wren because you have the pretty colors of a little bird.” “Not really.” I explained that my first cat was named Persephone, also four syllables, and that I usually called her by her full name, often preceded by Miss. Sometimes, though, I called her Posey because she, especially her paw pads, were fragrant.
Response: That’s funny you called her “Serendipity” at first! I’m sure she was a good sport about it and thought it was funny! LOL! As far a nick names go, the main one these days is “Baby Girl”.
Then I asked about her life before you adopted her and seemed to get this. No remembrance of her mother, but of lots of kittens playing in an open space somewhat dark and chilly. She was confused because the place wasn’t right for her but she didn’t know what would be right. She wanted more alone space and not to be picked up without warning as if she had no identity. The best time for her was when the other kittens were quiet after dark and when she could see the dark lightening into day in the window.
Response: when at the cat rescue, she was with her litter mates. When I met Serenity, she was the only one left from her litter. There were kittens from another litter who were smaller than her who were in the same room as her. Serenity does not like to be held. She’s been like that ever since I adopted her.
To try to get your attention in the kitten room, she sat up straight and curled her tail around her. She wanted someone who’d respect her. You did pick her up gently while talking to her; you smelled good to her and you breathed together. But then you left, and she was back in the shelter wondering what she’d done wrong. She didn’t want to eat. Later, after a scary trip because she didn’t know what to expect, she was with you again with a new name and a new home, and it all felt, finally, right. “I am Serenity, and I am in charge here.”
Response: Serenity definitely is in charge! I’m so sorry she felt like she did something wrong when I left the Kitten Cam Room. It didn’t take her long to feel like she was home though! I don’t know if I picked her up in the Kitten Cam Room or not or if she sat up and curled her tail around her.
“Didn’t Martha adopt another kitten when she adopted you?” I asked. Serenity conveyed she was tired and that we’d talk later.
Response: I adopted another cat when I adopted Serenity. The cat was 8 years old though.
Thank you so much again for connecting with Serenity! Please connect again with her anytime you both want to connect with each other!

Serenity emphasized she likes her own litter box, not a shared situation like at the shelter.

Hi Carol,
Thanks again for connecting with Serenity! She and Hawkeye have two litter boxes they can use as they please. They primarily use one of them and don’t use the other one as much.Thanks again for connecting with her, and, as always, please connect with Serenity again anytime you both want!

Hi Carol,
After you wrote this message one of my cats started using the bedroom in the litter box more often. Maybe Serenity is the one who is doing this. Maybe she was telling you something about that.

Hi Martha, Thank you so much for your feedback. When I connected today with Serenity, she said she was concerned about Hawkeye. She said with everyone talking to her she felt like Hawkeye is “ Invisible “. I explained that he is by no means invisible and he is letting her have the spotlight for now. How sweet and precious of Serenity be so loving and thoughtful. I asked her if she had any messages for you and she said that “YOU are not invisible”. I tried to get her to tell me more about that, but she didn’t want to discuss this any further. Thank you so much for sharing precious Serenity with us this month.

Hi Jo!
Thanks for connecting with Serenity! Thank you, too, for explaining to her that Hawkeye is letting her have the spotlight. I certainly don’t want her worrying, feeling badly, and experiencing anything else leading her to not fully enjoying being in the spotlight as the FAT. As for the part she said about me not being invisible, that’s probably about how I sometimes feel invisible. Sometimes it’s probably better that way though since sometimes people talk to me in the grocery stores and have very long conversations with me and I wouldn’t have minded if the conversation was shorter!Again, thank you so much for connecting with Serenity! Please connect with her anytime you both want to connect!

Hi Martha,
I started a conversation with Serenity by mentioning my “Serendipity” mistake last time and continuing that it was fortunate that you decided to attend the adoption meet-up that morning. Serenity (of the heart-melting expression) was confident that you two would have found each other somehow, but sooner was better than later.
I asked about the other kitten adopted at the same time. What I seemed to get was that he (at first she, but then it seemed he) had medium to long black fur and was active, crazy, and exploring. Somehow he got out of the apartment–on the second floor of a three-story building? It wasn’t too long after they came to live with you. You were very upset and put up posters to find him, but Serenity was fine with being an only cat.
By the way, however frustrating that two-week delay must have been before the kittens were brought to you, what a smart idea to protect pets from humans’ hasty decisions and bad home environments.

Hi Carol,
Thank you for connecting with Serenity again! I copied and pasted your message and under each paragraph I wrote my response after the word, “Response:”.Hi Martha,

Serenity (of the heart-melting expression) was confident that you two would have found each other somehow, but sooner was better than later.
Response: That’s so sweet what Serenity said about being confident we would have found each other somehow, but sooner was better than later. I love that! Given the fact that Serenity is one of my soulmates, always has been, and always will be, I, too, am confident we would have found each other somehow if I hadn’t met her in the Kitten Room. I am also glad, like her, that we found each other then rather than later.
I asked about the other kitten adopted at the same time. What I seemed to get was that he (at first she, but then it seemed he) had medium to long black fur and was active, crazy, and exploring.

You were very upset and put up posters to find him, but Serenity was fine with being an only cat.
Response: I adopted another cat with Serenity. The other cat was a male, yes, but he was eight years old. As long as I had him he was never lost. He did, however, pass on. Serenity was temporarily an only kitty. After a bit I adopted Hawkeye for her.
By the way, however frustrating that two-week delay must have been before the kittens were brought to you, what a smart idea to protect pets from humans’ hasty decisions and bad home environments. The rescue I adopted Serenity and Toby (the kitty I adopted with Serenity) is very thorough in the adoption process. They check the human, the new home, and have veterinarians check them out and do whatever they need health wise. It’s a really great rescue!
Thank you again for connecting with Serenity. Please connect with Serenity anytime you two are interested in connecting with each other!

Hi Martha, I enjoyed my conversation with Serenity.
Serenity “You take things too seriously.”
Me. I agree. I’m working on this. How are you today?
Serenity. Doing great.
Me. How do you like being FAT this month?
Serenity. Oh it’s interesting and enjoyable. I like helping.
Me. What advice do you have for me?
Serenity. Trust yourself, you are already there in the place of communication and you don’t know it.
Me. Thank you. Do you have a message for your mom?
Are you going to help your mom in her animal communication business?
Serenity. Why yes of course. I will always give her a cat’s perspective on the issue which is always insightful.
Me. I agree. Cats have a lot to teach us humans. Will you be with Martha again after this lifetime?
Serenity. Of course. We have a journey to be together.
Me. That’s wonderful. I enjoyed talking with you Serenity. Thank you for your wisdom.
Serenity. Now go and use it. Don’t forget.
Me. I won’t, thank you.

Hi Alicia! I love the conversation you and Serenity had with each other! She gave you some great advice and insight.
I believe she is enjoying helping us humans and probably does find the conversations interesting. I love that she said you’re in the place of communication already! Take her advice and go use it! I believe she will help me with my business. I already got her input on something 🙂 Serenity and I have been together for many lifetimes, and I believe inifinitely that she and I will be together always.
Thank you for connecting with Serenity. Feel free to talk to her anytime you both want to! Give Tina a kiss for me, too!

Hi Martha, Thank you so much for the feedback as always. I tried to connect again with Serenity but she didn’t appear to be in the mood to talk or open to communicate. I will check back with her again at another time.

Hi Jo,
I’m not sure why Serenity wasn’t interested in communicating with you. I imagine when you try again she’ll communicate with you. Please do try to connect with her again 🙂

Hi Martha,
In a previous message, you mentioned that you would be trimming Serenity’s nails the following day, so I asked her a few related questions:
–Did Martha trim your nails this month? Yes.
–Did Martha trim your nails while you two were sitting on the couch? No.
–On the floor? No.
–Were you on a table? Yes.
–How’d it go? Okay. I don’t like it but it went okay.When I used a pendulum to get answers, I got the same ones. Does the pendulum answer according to ego brain, too? Thank you for your responses and corrections to previous messages. Here’s how I think ego brain sometimes led me astray:
–I assumed that you would adopt two kittens together, not a 6.5-month-old and an eight-year-old, because that’s what friends have done.
–I thought if Toby escaped and got lost, that would account for your interest in helping guardians find their missing pets.
–Back in the early 1990s when I contacted Anastacia Gourley (an AC), I questioned if Persephone wanted to escape because she’d sit at the apartment’s door to the hall/third-floor landing of the Victorian house we were living in asking to go out. (There were no locking doors in the tenants’ area of the house–not interior nor exterior to the ground-level porch–so I didn’t like to leave the doors open.) Anastacia said Persephone simply liked to sit in the hall and look out the upper-porch window when dawn was breaking, so I left the doors open for her. And, because I was thinking of Persephone and her nickname, projected that habit onto Serenity.
Grrr! To be a clearer channel! Serenity didn’t have any messages or questions, so I thanked her and am thanking you for your attention and responses. ~Carol

Hi Carol,
I did trim her nails, yes. We did not sit on the couch. However, we were on the floor. She doesn’t like having her nails trimmed, but they do have to be trimmed from time to time. I’m sure you know how that goes! haha! As for the ego brain affecting the pendulum, that’s a good question. I hope the ego brain doesn’t affect the pendulum though. However, I wonder if perhaps it does considering the answers it gave you when you used it. My Reiki practitioner told me that one has to be trained to be able to use the pendulum in order to get answers. Are you trained in using the pendulum?
Regarding your ego brain affecting what you get, you might be right! Sometimes my ego brain affects what I get, too. Sometimes it’s hard to know when it’s the ego brain and when it’s not the ego brain!
Thank you for connecting with my girl! Please communicate with her again anytime you both want to do so 🙂 -

Martha, Example of ego brain interference: A vet or vet-tech trims my cats’ nails on a table–hence table not floor? I had individual and group lessons only a few minutes each from pendulum practitioners in the 1980s but may not have used one since. How have you been taught? ~Carol

I connected briefly with Serenity last night. She showed me a picture of a beautiful sloped grassy bank leading to a big lake! Another past life!
Still don’t know the significance of these nature scenes!
I’ll ask her tonight! I’ll post when I find out.
She told me: “You are connecting. Trust.”-
10/31/2018 at 7:45 pm #53857Martha BreedingPlatinum Member
Hi Barbara,
Thank you for connecting with my sweet girl! These scenes you’re receiving images of involving past lives are so interesting! When you connect with her and find out more about them, please let me know! I welcome you to connect with Serenity again anytime you both want to connect with each other. I look forward to reading what you find out about the scenes and past lives she’s had. The scenes she’s sent you images of sound beautiful and like they’re definitely wonderful places to live!

Serenity is so full of joy! She makes me feel so happy!
I asked her if she wanted to go out to nature. She said no way that was long ago.
I said then why are you showing me this? She said because it’s peaceful.
It would be peaceful to have nature inside.
I said maybe like a bird feeder on the porch or one of those table water fountains. She doesn’t know what that is so couldn’t picture it.
I then said what if Martha turned on a water faucet a little trickle and you could play in it to see if you liked it.
She wasn’t sure how that would work but maybe that would be peaceful.
Then we just were happy connecting together.
Ok. I did tell her she could visit me in the night if she felt like it, so there could be more….
We shall see!-
11/06/2018 at 10:38 pm #53970Martha BreedingPlatinum Member
Hi Barb,
Serenity is full of joy, yes. I’m happy she makes you happy! As for having more nature inside, that’s good to know! I play beach wave sounds sometimes thinking the cats will like it. She doesn’t get up on the counter near the sink much, but I think one time she was interested in the running water. Maybe when we move I could get a table water fountain or a big one for the floor. So, did she visit you during the night?
Thank you for connecting with her. Feel free to connect with her anytime you both want to do so!

Hi Martha,
I tried connecting with Serenity tonight (22:45 GMT). Serenity has such a calm, gentle air about her. She seemed a little reluctant to talk tonight though and I got a bit of a sense of overwhelm and that she’s not used to this many people talking to her. I asked if she would rather I connected another time and she seemed happier with that and told me she was a bit tired. I’ll try again another time.

Hi Melanie,
Yes, Serenity is very calm and has a very gently air about her. Try connecting again with her another time if you both want to. I’m sure there will be a better time for her to connect with you.
