Kitty Psychics

A few years back, my friend told me about one of her coworkers who took their cat to a kitty psychic. this was a while back, so I can’t really remember the details all that great, but I remember the story being pretty impressive. I can’t recall what it was, but the cat would do some bad thing every single day. they took the cat to this kitty psychic who “talked” with the cat, and the cat told the psychic several things that the psychic couldn’t have known otherwise. then, the psychic told the cat not to do the bad thing that it was doing any more. the very following day, the cat didn’t do the bad thing… and never did it again.

now, this totally sounds like some crap urban legend or some other nonsense that happened to some random unidentifiable person that can never be verified etc. but the thing is, it was my friend’s co-worker that it happened to, and she swears that it is totally the truth. of course, usually when I hear about these kinds of things I’m extremely skeptical though.

on one hand, there is a part of me that really believes that there must be something else to this world, something beyond the traditional physical laws that we all study in school. I think that it would be very presumptuous for humans to think that science pretty much has it all figured out right now and that any references to souls/paranormal activity/etc is fake. centuries ago, if someone said that it would be possible to talk into a magical box and have someone on the other side of the Earth hear you, that would have sounded crazy… yet today, cell phones exist and no one has trouble believing in them. who is really to say that there can’t possibly be other yet undiscovered forms of communicating, possibly via telepathy? on the flip side, I do usually think that a lot of people who claim to have “powers” or whatever are completely full of crap and are either weirdo hippy types who believe all sorts of nonsense, or are purposefully trying to make money by fooling people. the thing is, in my mind, I need proof. despite wanting to believe in this kind of stuff, I just can’t unless I witness something first hand. and up to this point, I never have.

hopefully though, on Tuesday night, all of this might change. my friend Dan has two cats. one of these cats has a really big problem… it likes to crap on the floor. it craps on the floor all the time and will often totally refuse to use the litter box. sometimes, it will even get in the letterbox to pee, then crawls out and takes a dump on the floor. Dan has tried *everything* to fix this problem from changing the type of food it eats, to changing the type of litter, to moving the letterbox around, etc etc. nothing helps. after picking up many many poos, Dan is a desperate man.

so, I referred him to the kitty psychic that I mentioned in the beginning of this post. she is a last resort, and hopefully she can “talk” some sense into the pooping cat. Dan called the psychic, who lives in Oakland to set up an appointment. it costs 90$ an hour. if this keeps Dan from having to pick up poop for the rest of his life, it will definitely be 90$ well spent. so here’s the crazy part: she does it over the phone. yup, that’s right, she will psychically talk to Dan’s kitty over the phone. as if this wasn’t weird enough to begin with, it’s now like a psychic hotline for kitties. what’s next, talking to the kitty on instant messenger?

anyways, the phone call is scheduled for tomorrow night. can this woman really telepathically talk to kitties over the phone? or is she just some old crazy cat lady who’s lost her mind? we’ll know tomorrow…
