Nelly the Fat kitty Cat

Lily was the name on the name tag of the checkout/cashier at the grocery store today.  She had beautiful straight long red hair and perfect eyebrows.  I could not tell if her eyebrows were real or if they had been drawn on.  They were a light brown with swirlys on the ends that were closest to her nose (the big part of the brow).  Lily said to me "you are nice to your cat because you give it wet food".  I was indeed purchasing a round of Paws canned food, the grocery store brand I had just discovered that my two cats will eat.  I replied "they get both, wet and dry".  

"My cat only gets dry food" she said.  

"What kind of cat to you have?" I asked.

"I have a cat that is just like Garfield-really big, she's a big giant cat."  I could tell that Lily adored her feline friend.  

"Is she orange"? I asked.

"Yes" was the response.

"Male or female"?

"Female and they are the rarest".  I could tell that Lily took pride in having herself a female orange tabby, just like I take pride in having my own.

"Yes, I know, I have one.  What is your cats name?"

"Her name is Nelly and she is huge, she weighs 13 pounds."

"What kind of food does Nelly get?"

"She gets Iam's weight control."   With that all of us laughed at the thought at the visual of poor big Lily, including the young man bagging the groceries.  "And...it's not working, she's still so big".

Aw, poor Nelly, she is on a diet :(   Who doesn't know what it is like to be on a diet and it not be working!

When I was speaking to her about her kitty who apparently is on the hefty side, I was reminded how animals absorb or balance energy for humans.  I do not think Lily knew but our animals will take parts of our energy and hold it for us.  That is why sometimes they are overweight for they have absorbed it into their systems.  They lovingly do this for us.  They are here to help balance the human, our domesticated animals.  

Nature has a way of balancing our energies.  The non-domesticated animals are also lending a hand to keep things in balance.  However, they take on less individual energies and are working more with global energies.  The energy of gaia, mother earth, is made up of all of nature.  Animals, plants and minerals all work to balance this earth, so that we may all live here in harmony.  They are not separate from us but a part of us.  

Each animal is different and has unique attributes.  For example, the cat, their energy systems transform negativity.  Sometimes, the more negative the human, the fatter the cat!  Dogs,  well they do not run energy in the same way.  They will attach their energy systems to the humans and allow it to intermingle.  Thus, creating a booster pack of sorts.  That is why dogs can make you feel so good as they are so accepting that they become apart of you.  The dog can help open the heart by showing you how to do it in total trust and compassion.  You think it is the dog, but it serves as a connection with yourself.  

Animals are evolving just like we are.  They are evolving as we evolve.  When one moves, we all move.  

So that is what I learned today.  I learned about poor Nelly who cannot seem to lose weight.
