Post your Questions & Nuggets for Gold & Platinum Q&A call October 19, 2019

[Moderator]

Please post your questions and re-post questions you previously posted for our next Gold & Platinum Member Live Q&A Monthly Call on Saturday, Otober 19, 2019 @ 8:30 am Pacific / 10:30 am Central / 11:30 am Eastern Daylight Saving Time.

NOTE: The Live Q&A Monthly Coaching Call is an opportunity reserved for Gold & Platinum Members Only who are in good standing in the Club (membership dues are paid up). If you’re not a Gold or Platinum Member and want to participate, email [email protected] and ask to be upgraded now.

Calling All Questions! If you’d like a chance to get a hot “love” seat in the next call to interact personally with me, then post your question here no later than 24 hours ahead of the class time to assure that they are included on the call. Questions are normally answered in the sequence in which they are posted, so it is best not to wait until the last minute. Be sure to post before the deadline of 12 noon Eastern on Friday, the day before our QA call.

Remember to let us know if there are specific topics on which you would like more teaching.

Prior to the Call, I’ll review the questions posted and will choose how to best answer them in the time we have. Some questions may be combined or adjusted, answers combined to be of great interest to the group. Typically questions are answered in the order in which they are received and we may not have time to answer all questions during the call. Come prepared with your questions as this is your time to get the answers you need to move forward in deepening your animal communication skills. If you have a deep, personal or urgent question, you may be better served by signing up for a personal session.

There will be a recording of the call available after the call within 48 hours. However, student interaction can be the catalyst that produces remarkable insights, and your participation is vitally important. Please plan to be on the live call.

Thank you for being a member of the Coaching Club and for sharing your love of animals with all of your fellow students. I’m looking forward to hearing what’s on your mind and discovering how I can best guide you on your journey!

Love, Val

Hi val,

I would like to know how my little Luna is feeling since my husband passed away unexpectedly on 27th April 2018.Luna is my dog and very close to me ..she chose me but she liked playing with him. 5 months ago, another sudden death came to add more sadness and weight to the 1st grief. Since the 1st day Luna came into my life (26 March 2015) I have had the feeling that she is here for a reason. At the moment she is helping me keep going. So I would like to know how she is feeling, why she chose me and what does she need from me. Thank you so much ♥♡

@val-heart-2 I listened to the recording call and I wanted to say thank you.
The message you got from Luna has touched me deeply.
Few years ago someone told me through the akashic records that Luna was already my dog , long long time ago…She was a hungary hound and someone stole her from me.
I do believe that we had already few lives together.
And yes she does things to make me laugh, to get me out from the darkness zone where I have fallen since my husband died following by the death of my 1st husband almost 7 months ago and who was like my brother since 30 years. Without Luna I honestly don’t know where I would be today.
she is my little happiness and means the world to me.

Thanks again Val <3 🙂

Hi Val –
~~
Regarding Ava, the torti cat I cat sit for most weekends:
~~
I get up early and she wants to go outside when it’s still pitch black to do her business. You may remember that in September, I was concerned about getting her home and safe before dark, due to the threat of coyotes, etc. THAT has righted itself – she’s always home on the dot of 5 PM as requested, or before. NOW we are dealing with the opposite end of the day – the mornings.
~~
She crouches by the back door as if she’s clinging to life, scowling, while I invite her to go into her litterbox which is – YES! – right next to the back door. It’s hilarious – there she sits wanting to potty, while she is jammed between the door and the LITTERBOX!
~~
But will she relieve herself? NO! Sometimes she runs around wild, bouncing off the sofa, the walls, her scratching post just to make sure I get the message.
~~
The last day I was with her, I kinda “tuned in” and felt discomfort, even after the Sun rose, so I went outside with her, and by golly, a coyote sensed a snack and took a big leap to bound over an 8 foot fence! He saw me and changed his direction, falling back into the neighbor’s driveway and onto their RV parked there. WHAT A RACKET at 715 AM. And Ava was the picture of terrified. I grabbed her an in we went, and I “spoke” to her about the situation. Haven’t had a chance to revisit the morning issue yet.
~~
Can we create an appeal in her heart for using the litterbox, please?
~~
Thank you!

Hi Val,
I can really use your help with 2 of my kitties. It is a bit of a story so I want to give you the brief version. 3 years ago I rescued 2 sets of kittens. I set needed to be tamed. Right now 1 kitty – Maggie still needs to be tamed. Her home base is in the basement. She was coming along really well when another cat (Maxi) started picking on her and Maggie stayed in the basement and hid much of the time. I had been looking for a home for Maxi for a long time and finally found her one. I was really excited, since this would make it much easier to tame Maggie. Unfortunately, my son’s cat Mango now goes after/chases Maggie. At night we put Mano in my son’s room so Maggie can have peace.

Can you please help me with Mango so he stops bullying Maggie. I have talked to him, but my challenge is I do not pick up what he says – so it is a one sided conversation. I would also love you to connect with Maggie so she is open to me touching and handling her. I really need to clip her nails or be able to kennel her to take her to the vet to do it. My other dilemma is I need to move before Christmas and it is quite stressful to have a cat I cannot catch or handle.

I do not know if you have time for a second issue. If you do, I have another kitty, Stash that is a very sweet and cuddly boy. The problem is that in the middle of being affectionate, he will just bite you. Sometimes really hard, and he often draws blood. He has been doing this for a year or 2, but it has been getting more frequent. In the last 2 weeks, he started just lashing out like a snake to bite me while in the middle of being loving (he has done it twice). I do not know why he bites and I really need him to stop.
Thank you so much.
Carla

Hi Carla,
I had a cat who got over-stimulated. She never lashed out and never drew blood or anything. She did lightly bite, but not love bites. I became aware of her energy and her signs of when she was about to do that and knew exactly the right amount of petting for her and exactly when to stop for the moment. You might want to tune into Stash’s energy and observe him before he does those things and learn the behavior and signals he gives before.

Hi Val,

I need your help with Missy. She has always been mouthy – licking and sucking on me. But she is getting really bad about snapping. I’m convinced her grandmother must have been a snapping turtle.

She is sweet and loving and does not seem mean – but she can really snap at me. She has bad eye boogers I have to clean and I have to be very careful not to get bitten.

Why is she doing this? What can I do to stop this behavior?

Also … if I may ask a second question. I’m having a difficult time with my own health.

Moving is stressful. I’ve lived 5 places in two and a half years. That’s a lot of moving. I’ve also had two health challenges during this time: Skin cancer – squamous cell carcinoma – and glaucoma.

I am now in a comfortable one bedroom apartment I hope I can live in for a long time. The skin cancer is under control after multiple surgeries and procedures on my scalp and I am on six month recall. And the glaucoma is in target range so the eye doctor has me on four month recall. But I am still dealing with side effects of an eye drop.

I was given the option of laser procedures or drops to treat the glaucoma. I choose laser but one eye did not make enough progress so I have to use drops in that eye.

The first eye drop prescribed was a beta blocker. I was warned that it would lower my heart rate and might make me a little tired. It moved me from low energy to no energy and totally messed up my blood pressure. I was changed to a different drop with minor side effects that lowered the pressure in my eye as needed.

I have been off that first drop for about six weeks now – and I am still tired and weak. I get exhausted very quickly. I am improving but wonder if there is anything I can do to get over this more quickly.

Val, do you have any suggestions for me to help me get my energy back?

Hi Val.
(1) I would appreciate your asking Taffy how she is feeling, physically and emotionally.
Several months ago, she was diagnosed with Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis in her left eye and, related to that, has a small cataract in that eye. We got past the crisis with the side effects of prednisone. She now receives only a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drop twice daily in her left eye. She has discharge from both eyes and I am wiping it off several times a day, especially after we go outside. (Still have new home construction on our street.)
How is her eye sight in each of her eyes? Any discomfort in either eye?
Also, we have fenced our yard for her. However, the ground is uneven, with dips. She injured her left front leg the first few days after running in the yard. It improved, but periodically she has a slight limp. We’re now limiting how much she can play in the yard.
(2) How are her legs and joints feeling? Does she enjoy playing in the yard? Is it difficult to run? (We are in the process of exploring replacing all the sod, but it will be a while before it is done.)
(3) Although we are much more settled in our new home where we have lived for almost a year, Taffy has seemed less perky lately and often does not want to take her normal walks around the neighborhood. Sometimes, she plants herself in front of the house, but won’t take or walk and doesn’t want to go into our house. What’s going on?
(4) Is there anything Taffy wants to tell me?
Thanks.

What most piqued my interest in the QA was Pam’s comment about how Pollyanna’s photo changed for her. During the week, I had the feeling and the image of Pollyanna realizing that we (ATCC) acknowledged her specialness and, in response, lifting her head higher. On another viewing, I noticed her eyes for the first time (or they attracted my attention more) and felt a softening in her take on the world.

I know that her photo does not change like the painting of Dorian Gray (but in a positive direction) and that a photo does not capture the soul of the one photographed as some cultures believe. And yet . . . there has been something that has moved in me interacting with it/her. Also, sometimes when the photo appears on the screen, she is facing in one direction and, sometimes, in the other. For me, it’s like the blue dress puzzle that went viral on the internet in recent years.

So, thank you, Pam for your observation and, as always, thank you, Val, for your teaching and eliciting more from us.
