I used to be allergic to cats. But I got over it fortunately – ‘the how’ is a different story actually. So when someone is having a cat, I am still a bit cautious; at least in the beginning. I start sniffing a bit, checking whether the cat’s smell is affecting me or not – even though I have been in the presence of many cats now, since I miraculously got over it. It’s a bit of habit. But yes, ever since that moment of healing, I normally feel at ease when there is a cat around. No sneezing, no itching, no nothing. So I was even more surprised when this cat of one of my language students destroyed my idea of being cured. If only.
It started with a hoarse voice, while I was teaching, and then almost losing my voice. I had to drink water all the time, in order not to lose my voice completely. I struggled, but I survived that first class. Unfortunately it didn’t get better the second class. Nor the third class. So I thought: my allergy to cats got back!
But then something interesting happened: my student told me about her cat, that he got nervous the whole night and kept her awake, because of all his scratching on the wall. She had no idea why he had done it, but she was wrecked because of her lack of sleep. And on top of her story: at some point I noticed that my watch had stopped ticking. At first nothing weird about that – the battery could have been dead. I mean, I was having this watch for more than 5 years. But then after class, on my way home, it started to tick again. My watch got clearly behind, and the 40 minutes of difference showed the amount of time that it had actually stopped ticking. Really weird.
Protectors of the House
The former things actually explained a lot, when I discussed it with my good friend, a fellow healer. She told me: “Cats in general are the protectors of the house. Maybe there is an entity – a spirit – in the house. The cat would fight like his life is depending on it, and he becomes ‘more cat’, spreading his cat energy around in order to protect the house. That’s why you might be affected by his smell, his energy. You got over your allergy, but maybe not when there is so much cat energy. Like ‘a dozen of them’, with an ‘aggressive’ kind of energy. And entities can influence things like clocks or watches.”
Corpse in a limousine
She wasn’t finished talking or I already had to think about the previous day: two funeral cars had been parked in front of my student’s flat, on the pavement. My foreign student even made a joke about it, thinking they were limousines, because of the odd colour and the type of car. ‘So you came by car today?’, she said with a smile on her face. For the record: in The Netherlands those cars don’t need to be black, they can be silver or pinkish; and the shape of them can remind you of a limousine. So it wasn’t a bad joke. She just didn’t know these cars. And to me the whole thing became a huge clue. Apparently somebody had died.
Prayer
Still not sure whether it was ‘only’ the cat’s energy that got my cat allergy triggered. Guess not everybody’s watch would stop ticking, when there is a (lost) entity in the house. So maybe as an empath I was also sensitive to this spirit’s energy. Anyway, as an advice of my friend, I thanked the cat for being so brave and protective. And I made a little prayer (on the toilet) for the spirit in the building, so that it could go find its way to the Light. In the meantime my student moved places, by the way, and I have to say: it does feel better in her current house, even if her cat is in the room.
