Communicating with cats telepathically: Is it possible?

[Laura's Babies]

Call me crazy if you want... But I had the most wonderful solid black kitty, Sambo, so long ago and we DID communicate. He dissapeared one time and I was totally lost without him but somehow (don't ask me how) I knew he was alright and was trying to find his way home. I don't know how far away he was but I could hear him calling out to me in a sound sleep or awake and I would go to the door and call him! I KNEW he was coming home! It took him 3 weeks to get back to me, skinny and battered, but he made it home. SOMEONE carried him off... I never knew WHO, but he communicated that he had been carried off to me.

I was married at the time and my husband thought I was crazy getting out of the bed off and on all night going to the door calling a cat but I always felt and still feel, that he heard me calling him and my voice is what helped him find his way home. I KNEW he was alright and was trying to get home! I just KNEW IT!

So, YES, I believe in being able to communicate with them. He and I did it all the time.

My Muffin who is 17 1/2 seems to know what im thinking.
Maybe its out of routine, or maybe she is that intune with me.
Not really sure but I think shes pretty darn smart

I have had that "tuned in" relationship with a cat as well as with people where seemingly my thoughts have been responded to. Cats are very emotional beasts and can read our moods and body language - and they respond to those cues. Is this response telepathic? Or are they just good observers and more motivated to understand us when they love us? They know so much about us and trust us so much. I'm just not sure how they know.

I really do believe that you can communicate with any animal.

When my Lucky was going through his Chylothorax problems, and then later when we found out he was in early stages of Renial Failure, I actually talked to him and explained to him what was happening and what we were going to do about treating him. Naturally my husband though I was nuts, but when it was time for his sub Q's, I looked at him and told him it was time, and we both walked into the bathroom togther, he got up on the sink (I put something there to make it a table top) and then I proceeded to give it to him, and he seemed to understand the entire time.

Even now, he sleeps with me every night - I still listen to his breathing (old habits die hard ) and he knows when I'm sick.

The other 2 cats seem to know what is going on, but I think Lucky & I have a very strong bond.

Thanks for your replies and opinions. Really interesting experiences that many of you made!

I think the most "tuned-in"-relationship I had with a cat was with my RB Katz, even though we did not really "communicate". But I always felt her soul was very close to mine.
