The Cat with a "Sixth Sense"

In a radio interview that Allen and Linda Anderson did for their book, Angel Cats, a man named Van from Saskatchewan, Canada, called in to the show. He said that every time a member of his family has a problem or is in any kind of distress, their cat Smokey sits or sleeps on that person's bed. Van noticed that even if he had a bad day at work, when he arrived home, he'd find Smokey on his bed.

Although the cat has been doing this for years, Van never paid much attention to Smokey's behavior until his daughter went away to college. One night, Smokey slept on Van's daughter's bed. The cat looked very morose.

Seeing Smokey on the bed made Van miss his daughter so he called her dormitory to chat. He learned that she'd been admitted to the hospital because she was very sick with the flu. Not wanting to alarm her family, she hadn't called them. Although he lived many miles away from the daughter, Smokey had delivered the message that something was wrong.

Now Van recognizes Smokey's signal. If Smokey sleeps on a family member's bed, Van calls to ask if there is trouble. Smokey has never been wrong about his diagnosis of a condition. When all is well, Smokey peacefully sleeps on the couch in the living room.

Smokey serves as this family's spiritual mirror. When they pay attention to his "sixth sense," they are able to help each other through troubled times.

Allen and Linda Anderson are pet-expert speakers, authors, and founders of the Angel Animals Network. They help people discover and benefit from the miraculous powers of animals. Dedicated to promoting human-animal companionship, Allen and Linda donate a portion of proceeds from their work to animal rescue organizations and do fundraising activities.

The Andersons believe that whenever you connect spiritually with animals, thousands of new doors open. Through their books, newsletters,  presentations, insights, and this website they will show you portals into a whole new world where animals are your guides, healers, and friends.

With pets in 63% of American homes (71 million households) in 2007, it's astonishing to consider the consequences of ignoring animals as wisdom partners and the benefits of tapping into their hidden talents.
