The Psychic World of Cats Part I
Anpsi is animal psychic phenomena and has been studied by parapsychologists and is well documented by them and those who have experienced this. I have written an article about this, “Amazing Psychic World of Animals,” for this site. Cats have been revered in ancient Egypt. The penalty for killing a cat was death. They were also revered by early Christians. There is a legend that, when Jesus was born, a cat in the stable was giving birth to kittens. The babe could not sleep, so Mary asked the animals to help him sleep. None could. A grey tabby new born kitten joined Him in the manger and lay next to him purring, which lulled Him into sleep. Mary rewarded the kitten and all tabbies, current and future, to wear the “letter “M” on their foreheads. Later, cats were persecuted and killed in Europe as witches’ familiars and agents of the devil. Many people see cats as mysterious beings that have uncanny senses. Do cats have a sixth sense? Yes. Welcome to the psychic world of cats. Because of the length of this article, I have decided to write two. Part II will be about cats’ ability to sense ghosts and become one.
