Noppes hasn’t lived with his current owner for very long. And the owner actually had only one question: “What can we do to make you feel good/better at home with us?” He seems to like it here, but he meows extremely loudly and a lot.
The information I received beforehand besides the photo: Noppes, male cat, 13 years old. He is on pain medication for osteoarthritis, otherwise declared healthy via bloodwork and physical exams.
He is now with us in his fourth home.
Control questions:
- What color is the plush bed you brought with you?
- What do you have on your nails?
Impression of the animal during the session:
Good, clearly present. However, a somewhat short attention span, so I had to retune frequently.
Stones selected for the session:
For a session, I always intuitively select two stones for the animal for support. This is done purely by feeling, and only after the session do I look up their purpose. Often, they align very well with the animal’s needs. You may choose to acquire the stones and place them at their sleeping area or on their collar. Optional.
Amazonite:
- Balance and strong protection against radiation and harmful influences
- calming
- brings balance in extreme mood swings, grief, worry, anxiety, trauma
- strengthens free will
- reduces a victim mindset
- helps with problem-solving by balancing intellect and intuition
- relieves tension
- positive effect on metabolism, nerves, nervous system, brain, pituitary, thymus, osteoporosis, teeth, skin, and calcium deficiency
Chakra Pyramid:
The chakra pyramid is a composite stone of red jasper, peach aventurine, gold quartz, green aventurine, sodalite, amethyst, and lapis lazuli in chakra colors. They balance the various chakras. Chakra means “wheel” in Sanskrit and refers to the energy centers connecting our physical and energetic body. Each chakra influences specific organs, emotions, and levels of consciousness.
Session notes:
We start calmly with the color of his bed. I perceive light gray, not too dark. Then I ask about his nails. As I do, my fingertips start to itch, feel hot, slightly tingly/numb, and my left palm becomes warm. The left side seems more affected than the right. I interpret that the issue is more in his toes and joints rather than the nails themselves.
I tell him that I understand he is already in his fourth home and that this makes me sad. It also makes him sad and confused. Everything is new again. I ask about previous situations. He releases little about the first two, presumably the first two homes. Something comes up about a busy family where he didn’t fit, but that is no longer relevant.
About his last home, he indicates it wasn’t bad, memories feel good. A calm place with an older man, a clear routine that Noppes followed. The feeling that the man could no longer care for himself comes through strongly. Noppes likely wasn’t treated badly, but perhaps his health was neglected due to the owner’s limitations.
He appears searching when asked why he meows so much. Searching, insecure, momentarily confused. Loss of a familiar environment combined with aging and less flexibility to adapt. He misses familiar items and spaces and must adjust to new routines, house, and people. Age is clearly a factor. Forgetfulness or hearing loss may also play a role.
He enjoys being at your home, likes the bright environment, and appreciates clear daily rhythms and recognizable points. Overview and fixed routines are especially important right now.
Summary and attention points:
The intuitively chosen stones indicate imbalance and a need for balance, which is reflected in the session. Amazonite could be beneficial, e.g., a small stone at his favorite sleeping place.
Physically, the left forepaw and left shoulder felt notable. Also, recurring itching at the left side of the head, just above the ear. Age-related memory issues or slight hearing loss would not be surprising.
Owner feedback:
The impression of the animal during the session is very recognizable.
Bed color: green, large plush mouse/ pillow, now discarded. Two other blankets: brown/gray.
Nails: Itching issues, especially left ear with wax build-up, scratching injuries, minor blood. Rubber nail caps provided. He also licks the left shoulder. He is on painkillers and anti-inflammatories.
The previous homes’ descriptions mostly match: 2nd home = busy family, 3rd home = quieter with predictable routine. Previous medical and skin care was partially insufficient.
Conclusion: A fixed daily routine is crucial for Noppes. Observations on dementia/hearing loss will continue.
