I have always had a gift with animals , i love them they love me but lately my cats and my families cats have not been accepting my authority as Alpha.Such as i eat befor them , enter rooms befor them and so and so but they have been ignoring me. My "gift" is that i get a light sence of what they want and what they are feeling. i am not feeling anything from them lately. Help?
Try meditating on it. Perhaps something is bugging you subconsciously and you are not realizing it.
"Animal Magic" is more or less working with the energy of animals. If you want to start working on it, try sensing their energy. If you can do that already, try communication with them, without speaking. There are several books available on the topic.
Try this Nodoka to get back in tune with your animals. One day while mediating have one animal in the room with you. After mediating, push out energy at you animal to get its attention and also remind the animal that you are alpha but work as a team. Make sure you area always asking animal before borrowing its energy and say thank you, and give it some treats.
See, cats aren't used to having "alphas". They're very independent, so it's not really their thing to listen to others. The cat is my spirit animal so I have looked up their personalities. If you want to be "alpha" then you need to find another animal to control.
With Cats it is more of a respect thing. Your cat has to respect you for them to become your familiar. But has anyone know that owns a cat we work around their schedule. If we wish to do energy work or cast a spell with are feline companion we could wait an hour or so. :P
I believe your problem is that you are trying to be their boss. Cats are their own bosses. They respond to being considered equal to their owners. In fact, many times, they feel they are superior! Well think about it..they sleep all day and then we feed them, brush them, play with them, and clean their litterbox. Sounds a lot like we are their humans. Not they are our cats. Have you tried listening to what they want? And not just expecting them to do what you want.
If you really insist on having "control" try picking up a book on cat training. I too have a strong connection to animals, and I find training to really assist with a stronger bond and a nice give and take that teaches the animal that listening to me is rewarding (with yummy treats and scratches behind the ears). But rewards must always come with cats. Anytime they are asked to do something, there must be something in it for them, or they will stop doing it.
You hit the nail on the head, Raven! Perfectly put, once again.
Like Raven said, cats are independent creatures and like to be their own boss! You should be treating them as equals instead of considering yourself 'Alpha.'
Also, the eating before them, entering rooms first, etc is just plain ridiculous.
From what I have read, the poor cats have finally decided to go their own way and do things of their accord. Please, take some consideration of what it would be like if somebody did that to you. Very derogatory. Perhaps you should treat your gift (and your cats) with a little more respect.
