EFT works on my cat!

I’ve been feline challenged the last few weeks after we brought an 8 month old “rescue cat” Butterscotch home to reside with our 3 year old Suki- who is a “special needs” cat I’m sure..we thought it could “perk” him up.
Well- be careful what u wish for~ and Suki yowled & hissed everytime B. walked into the room, spending his days under a low lying coach in our den,
even staying there when I my coaching clients sit on it! So we devised a “screen door” with a latch for B to stay at night in my office with all his stuff while Suki took care of his food needs etc and had the rest of the house to himself.
Day by day Suki is getting used to B, but still hissing. Today, while they were lying dopwn within ia few feet of each other, I sat on the floor and EFT’d S. Wow~ he totally calmed down and then trancelike fell asleep.

Steve & I went to see “Inception” at the movies- and when we returned 4 hours late- they were both asleep in the same positions~
After dinner, they both came into my office and I did more EFT on Suki,
placing him on my lap at the computer & the desk looking out the window. B’s been in & out and Suki is sleeping on my desk. Amen!

I want them to be in peaceful coexistence for all of us- and-so that I’ll feel comfortable going away for the weekend with Steve in a few weeks- and to Europe end of September. My neighbor will be stopping in- I think I’ll teach her EFT in case there’s a problem..

Rolling Like a Ball in Good Form after Cat~

My cat, Suki has been an “indoor cat” since last Fall, when he was bitten by an animal and had a serious infection. He is a bit challenged (a rescue cat), so we decided to keep him in. Recently, it’s been easy, he seemed to run away whenever we opened the back door to the deck. So, thinking that this was his MO, after a lovely dinner of bbq scallops
( inspiration from Facebook or Twitter last night) and drinks, I was carrying dishes, opened the door, and Suki ran out. Instinctively, with all best interests in mind, I stomped my foot down on him, he ran inside causing me to fall and have a perfectly aligned “rolling like ball yoga-pitates move with plates on my abs, and thank G landed on my left buttock, not the one I had a cortisone shot in yesterday (triple ouch!). I scrambled up and asked where did he go??, was reassured inside, probably in his safe space under A’s bed..and then I assessed my physical damages- none! miracle. So I asked Steve, who witnessed all, what the message was- he said, if he really gets out, he’ll be back to eat; and if you see him at the door, pause and shoo him away before you proceed to enter. OK ! Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone~
