What Moving Means to our Animal Companions

You've probably experienced at least one move in your life. You made a list of things to do, but did you think to make one for your pets? Regardless of the type and size of the move, our pets get through the transition better when they're prepared. During your next move, you could share your intentions with them by explaining and showing them the new place physically or telepathically! Yes, that's how animal communication works. If they're experiencing fears, anxieties, or worries, it's possible to reassure and help them. If they're irritated, or even too excited in some cases, natural products and/or an ANIMAL HEALING TREATMENT can calm them down. I myself moved in August 2021 and took the time to prepare Lea, my black cat, by communicating with her on numerous occasions.
For the animal, any change in routine can be considered a move. Have you observed your animal communication before a move or a vacation? You've noticed that he knows something's up, haven't you? There's unusual movement, the shifting of his toys, for example. His bowls, cushion, or litter box may suddenly find themselves somewhere other than where they're supposed to be. The aquarium is placed on another piece of furniture, and even the bird has a new view, as its cage is in another room. The horse has new stall mates because it's moving to a different stable.
Moving can have many facets for the animal trying to make sense of it. Whatever the species, the animal is moving when it finds itself living with only one of its two usual guardians or with a new family. Then there's the move to the trailer, as camping season begins. There are those who travel by RV, and even by plane for distant travelers! Then there are the pets who go to the sitter, the kennel, and all the other situations they find themselves in when we change our daily routine. All these situations are like moving for them. As with us, change is experienced differently depending on temperament and past experience. For some, it comes easily; for others, it requires a bit of forewarning.
Having prepared many animals for a move and helped their guardians through the experience, I can see the benefits for both. And it makes sense! In life, if you know what to expect, it's reassuring! When someone explains to us the reason for the changes to come, we can prepare ourselves and get used to the idea. We then experience them differently, more calmly and serenely. This is exactly what happens with our pets. They're reassured and calmed when they're prepared. During a pre-move ANIMAL COMMUNICATION SESSION, I do all this telepathic preparation with the animal and the guardian, who presents the facts and informs his animal companion of the situation. The animal then understands what's going on and can adapt. As an example, here's how I prepared my cat Lea for our move in the summer of 2021.
How I prepared Lea using animal communication
In March 2021, I learned that I had to move, as the house I lived in was being sold by the owner. After my initial shock, came the joy of finding a new place, suitable for Lea and me. I communicated with my cat to inform her of the situation and give her an idea of what was to happen as I did not yet know where we would be living. I prepared a to-do list for the next few months, for myself and my feline companion. I start sorting and filling boxes and bags. The energy in the house was changing.
Animals are very sensitive to their environment and to any change in their home environment. As May arrived, the boxes became more numerous. Spaces were created between them and Lea wandered from room to room, sniffing the boxes and getting into the growing number of nooks and crannies. I felt she was getting more nervous. I spoke to her again to get her to express her feelings of anxiety. In doing so, I could reassure her.
At the end of May, I found our new home. I was very happy about it and hurried to tell Lea about it and show her around the new place telepathically. I could see her walking around the condo in her mind, familiarizing herself with the rooms. I asked her, "What do you think of our new home?” She replied, "It's different.” She, usually so talkative, had nothing else to say. So, I sent her images of the balconies and told her she’d be able to go outside like she did in her current home. She was satisfied with that information.
Things got busier as we approached August 5. Two weeks before the big day, I start giving Lea Rescue Remedy drops. Rescue Remedy is a product from Fleurs de Bach, to help relieve stress. I communicated with her a third time the day before the move to prepare her for the next day, i.e., to inform her that she'd be in her carrier before the movers arrive until after they left the new place. I told her that she’d be free to explore and familiarize herself with our new condo after they left. Knowing her nervous disposition, I figured this would be good for her and easier for me. And it was! On the big day, Lea was calm in her cage. She did not meow and wisely waited for the moment when I let her out to regain her freedom of movement. I continued to give her Rescue Remedy drops two weeks after to help her adapt to her new environment. The transition had gone smoothly...
Prepare your pet when moving!
Preparing our pets before moving makes the experience easier for everyone! It's easy to understand what our pets may be going through when we put ourselves in their shoes. How would you react if your daily routine was disrupted and you were taken to a new place without warning? Animals are no different. An ANIMAL COMMUNICATION SESSION can make the difference between a stressful move and a calmer one. Don't hesitate to make an appointment to support them through a move!
Happy moving!
