View Full Version : Energy/situation transferred to a pet

I wonder if any of you have any experience with this phenomenon or have read about it or seen any shows that go into it? It definitely seems paranormal. I was present at a healing session for a person I know by a healer who was from out of the area, so we never saw him (the healer) again to ask him about it.

I’m posting it here because of its strange paranormal nature, and because the MW “Healing” forum seems so slow these days (not much participation right now).

In this incident, the person being healed (call him Jeff) had a cat. The cat was well known by Jeff, his wife, and all family friends to be a shy animal – a pleasant pet, nice to look at, a good mouser. But he was wary to the extent that he would generally leave the room when people from outside the household, no matter how quiet and gentle, would arrive. And the cat was more deathly afraid of electrical storms and thunder than any pet I’ve ever seen, I think.

In any case, the healing session I mentioned was done on the second floor of the house, and I was there for it. Afterwards, we all came downstairs feeling very calm and energized. Among the unusual things was that the pet cat was sprawled out in the kitchen in front of the refrigerator, relaxing and not being shy. I was told that in the weeks and months afterward, the cat not only chose out-in-the-open places to sleep, but was no longer afraid of electrical storms!

But also in the next months, while Jeff experienced a number of health improvements that he attributed to the healing session I’d been present for, the cat got skinnier and weaker. And when they took him to a vet, the vet was able to find symptoms but not identify any specific ailment or disease. The poor kitty died not long after.

After this happened I began to try to make sense from what had gone on. I eventually thought of a few things. In a classic book of folklore, I read about an old practice found in many ancient societies … the ailments or “sins” of a village or other group of people would be ritually transferred to a selected animal (sheep, goat, deer) that was then sacrificed… for the good of the group. That was one sort of similar situation. Another is a passage in the Bible where it was recorded that Jesus healed a man of insanity by deliberately transferring the insanity from the man into a flock of swine. The third thing I thought of was a description of a Native American (“Indian”) healer who performed impressive healings witnessed by a group of medical researchers. He transferred an infection from a man into some fresh meat which was then immediately burned (and no one was allowed to directly touch the meat with fingers or anything before it was burned).

What do you think of this? Ever seen anything similar?

I like the part from the Native Shamans (dead meat) and not living. That way the animal does not suffer like the other two.

I'm with you there. I think that's part of our modern outlook. In ancient times, you don't get the idea (from history documents) that people had pets very much... and there might not have been as much compassion toward animals, generally speaking. But they say the royalty in Egypt, who were an extremely small group within their society, did keep pet cats.

In the case of the Native shaman, he was doing a demonstration at a conference center and they had a cafeteria, so he requested the fresh raw meat in that situation.

I know that pets are called Familiars for a very good reason. They often feel what we are going through, in very real ways. I have a friend who, being on a path of light, receives some resistance from others who see that he's making progress. They don't always target him directly, they sometimes target his pets. One, who recently passed, developed cancer in the hip, and had the leg removed because it was causing him so much pain.

This was a special cat. Once, when he'd locked himself out, and could see the keys sitting on the table through a window that was locked, the cat swiped the latch to allow my friend to open the window and unlock his door that way, so he could get his keys.

This friend also has issues with anger, and has noticed that when he sees that he's very angry, his pets pick up on it, even when he has it (outwardly) under control.

Pets are as psychic as we are, and since they have unconditional loyalty to us, they take the hits generally without complaint. In this way they are connected to us.

I don't have any pets myself, but plants have a similar reaction. I remember once a plant I had that told me in no uncertain terms that it needed water. Thing is, I was on the train coming home, and when I got home sure enough the plant's soil was incredibly dry.

I know I haven't given you any answers really. Just take care of your pets the best you know how. They can do amazing things, in this amazing world.

I have a couple of theories on this: 1) The cat took the illness on by itself, out of love. 2) This one seems more realistic to me: When your group was doing the healing and the illness was removed, the illness has to go somewhere. If it wasn't directed at something specific, then I suppose it's possible that the cat (being out of the room, therefore out of the circumference of protection) was the first thing the illness found as a new host. Unless the owner had protected the cat, then I would say that the first answer was more likely. JMO

Your idea #2 here is more or less what I thought, though I'm still guessing. I read about a yogi (a guru) in India who went to the home of a bedridden friend (a householder, not a yogi) to heal him of some acute ailment that was threatening his life. After the healing process, the yogi and one of his disciples went out into the yard, where they sat down by a tree. Some of the symptoms began to show themselves on the yogi first and then afterwards on the trunk fo the tree (some bumps or sores)!

I know a person that can remove pain - she takes it into herself and sends it into the earth to be absorbed...I would imagine this was sort of the same type thing. Now that I get on that track, it makes sense...because I know that if you can't get someplace to get a good ground, you can pet an animal and that will ground you as well. Sounds reasonable to me....

Thats horrible...to give the illness to an animal, let alone a pet! There are many other healing methods than that.

Kinda how I felt when it seemed the illness, or the energy behind the guy's various maladies, had apparently gone to the cat.:ugh: Probably due to the soft heart I have for cats.

I've been thinking more about this. I wonder if any really strong healing may require someplace for the old, bad 'complex of energy' to go. And simple grounding -- into the soil & rock? local vegetation? soil insects & microorganisms? ... what do we actually mean by "grounding? -- may not be substantial enough on those occasions.

Please don't think I have unsympathetic feelings toward people's pets. That's not the case. It's more that I want to discuss what may be the realities. So I'm choosing not to look at it just as an 'ewww, that's not nice to do to kitty' situation.

Besides, in the example I gave in the first post, there may have been no human choice involved. It may have been the way the universe, or the way that Nature if you prefer, handled the situation.

P.S. The above is meant for all forum participants. To Aleannah: sorry I forgot, in my private message yesterday, how much you'd contributed to this thread! It's just that I started the thread well before my trip to Scotland, and the time and events of the trip obscured my memory about this thread.

The way I read the story, it's just something that happened to the cat, not deliberately.
AT church once during a healing ritual we transferred someone's illness from them into a large stone, which everyone was forbidden to touch afterward.

Thanks, SD. I'm always curious to hear individual stories of healings. How did the particular healing that you refer to (involving the stone as a place to ground the energy out) work out? Did the person improve markedly?

One thing I can say about the healing involving Jeff and the cat is that it had very definite positive results for Jeff... neither he nor anyone else ever doubted that!
