Animal guide

 

 

Today I had a reminder of how our animal brethren definately do talk

to us in their own way.

 

I don't want to sound all airheaded (but I will), so many times odd

things have happened where animals have acted almost as omen and

guide. I guess I see how the Native Americans put a lot of store in

animal totems and guides (though I don't know that much about it).

 

As I was driving to work this morning a tabby cat deliberately

sauntered across a nearby road and then STOOD there contemptuously in

the middle of it. Obviously I stopped and waited, I tried to shoo it

out of the road with telepathy (which unsurprisingly didn't work).

 

It was all a little surreal, and eventually just as I was about to

give up and get out the car to speak to the cat it flicked it's head

scornfully at me (in that loveable way cats do) and sauntered off the

road.

 

I watched it in case it was stray as it looked a little void of

course. The postman suddenly came into view near the corner house, he

looked rather incredulous at what was going on - and as soon as the

cat saw the postman it leaped over the wall and was gone.

The postman signalled at me and for some reason I felt guilty - as

though he might think I was a bit strange for sitting there staring

at this cat, I waved my arms to signify denial and yelled " it's not

my cat! " but he came skipping up to the car anyway.

 

Turned out he had a parcel for me to sign for, whoo hoo!

He'd rung the bell an hour before but I'd been in the shower so I

couldn't answer it.

 

That cat managed to delay me just long enough otherwise I would just

have driven past him and would have had a long trip to the mail depot.

 

Thank you that cat, my lucky messenger.
