Does Your Cat Act Differently Around You? In this video, we explore the spiritual connection between cats and sensitive souls from a Christian perspective. Discover why these animals seem to sense invisible shifts, how they might react to God working in your life, and what faith says about their unique intuition.

The cat owners with no gardens should try to have a vegetable garden, and see seed beds destroyed, or see broods of songbirds decimated. I have had cats, but in many situations, they’re a fkn nuisance, with a capital F. It should be legal to put the cat shit through the owner’s letterbox.
You see to have a thing about Cat/Dog poo Ian?? My guess is you’re not an animal lover.
Strange comments….
Hi steve, I don’t remember talking about dog shit, and what’s your guess based on? I grow organic vegetables for my family consumption. I always have, but no-one else locally seems to these days. I take measures to keep them, ie the growing local cat population, out, but some, given their cat like ways, evade them and shite in my carefully tended patch. Cats are easy to keep. Let them sit and purr on your knee, then throw them out to shite in someone else’s place, or in my case, an organic food garden. No other large predatory animal is afforded the protection that cats have.
If I did mention dogs, then it’s because the white flight immigrants here have taken to walking ie flinging balls with them plastic things on the local playing field/football pitch.
Do you grow organic vegetables in your own garden Steve’? or more likely you live in a town, well whatever, if you have a cat, keep it in at night with a litter box, and realise that gardeners, pigeon keepers, and gamekeepers hate them, and if you have a dog then pick up your shit. BTW, I have rescued injured animals and birds all my life, and have had dogs, but my wife gets asthma and doesn’t like animals. Your wrong about me Steve. You said strange comments. Better for cats that I moan about them than I do what many who are silent on the matter do to them.
You made a comment Ian a few days ago on an article where a guy did a walk and talk about the Liverpool car ramming.
The first thing you said was “His dog could have been crapping anywhere” which I thought strange at the time, then this comment about cat poo just made me think it was a bit strange putting those sort of thoughts in a comment about something completely unassociated.
If you’re an animal lover, all well and good Ian, but they are what they are. We all need to “go” somewhere….
I do remember now Steve thanks. Do you not think that people should pick up their dog shit in public places. Walking along talking to his phone, while his dog runs wild without him knowing where it is. We have issues round here just now with “mostly incomers” from cities, and used to having a park, letting their dogs shite on the football pitch. I have a personal friend who is blind in one eye from contamination with dog crap as a kid, and worked with another. On another note, I don’t need to justify the fact that I believe that peop[e should be responsible for their pets.
Ps I carry biscuits for dogs in my pocket, stroke cats and even rescue worms from paths.
I was brought up with cats when I was young Ian, and although don’t have a cat now my neighbours do, and I grow vegetables and don’t have too much of a problem.
Hi N’, when II grew up, many round here had gardens, now only one other person that I know of has one, and recently we have had an influx of cats for some reason. I have adapted 75% of my garden into no dig. See Charles Dowding on youtube. That seems to pull them in. A funny thing happened a couple of days ago. Beside my garden path, the cats seemed to like a little patch, where they’d pull the soil down onto the path after crapping in it. I buried a piece of galvanised mesh as a deterrent, and stuck a label on it to remind me. see pic.
I haven’t as yet made my vegetable no dig patch Ian, but I can understand it can be annoying if the same patch gets attacked again and again. Have you tried planting herbs such as Rue as a deterrent?
My old Lab, Dora, will eat anything that resembles food, and that includes cat shit to her mind, cow, sheep and fox too. As a consequence our two cats have a permanent clean up crew, following them about in the garden, Dora. Great for me but utterly gross to watch from close up. She’s always been like that, so obviously I’ve never let her lick me 🙂
She’s 14 years old now, 98 human equivalent, based on the old 7 years human for 1 dog year. It’s one of her last family services that she provides, after a long happy life as my faithful companion. She’s walked thousands of miles with me over the years, well over 20,000 I estimate, probs nearer 30,000. Her time is short now, so I do everything that I can to make it happy and comfortable. But she can still manage 3+ miles, which she does every third day or so
I absolutely adore cats and I grew up with one. As I’ve moved around so much and lived in apartments, I’ve never been able to have one of my own and the nearest I got was a couple of years ago when I fed the cat belonging to some neigbours.
I’d put his food out and sit down on the settee. He would ignore his food and come and get on my lap. When he was tired of being stroked, he got up and went to eat. My signal to go home.
Yes I agree Belyi, cats are strange creatures and as the video states they seem to know when you are upset and come and sit your lap and purr – i didn’t the frequency of purring was healing.
Let us not not forget that Christ is that mighty lion of Judah.
I was brought up in a household with nine cats which I suppose connotates to nine lives and have always been an animal lover.
When you can feed your bird friends by hand, come face to face with security dogs and have them on their backs and rub their bellies and have cats come out of nowhere to see you, then you know you are one in spirit with the Holly Spirit (Dove).
Two years ago I lost my best friend Le-Jazzy a Bengal cat. Her passing broke my heart and tore my spirit. The unimaginable depth of loss and hurt was so deep in not having my best friend on my lap or by my side. Where I was, she was.
Two years have since passed and I toyed with the idea of getting another cat, but I’m no spring chicken and getting on in years. On a number of occasions I have asked God, should I or should I not get another cat and decided the time had come that I should.
My new cat is a five year old rescue Bengal whom I have named Midas Phrygia as in King Midas of Phrygia who turned everything he touched to gold. Midas has a lot of gold hair on his tummy.
On reading up on the ancient country of Phrygia I learned that its capitol was Gordion and therefore concluded that my prayers had been answered and it was meant to be that I should have another cat.
God really does work in mysterious ways!
Lovely tale Gordon, it sounds like you made a very smart move with Midas Phrygia
Having animals in your life is definitely grounding for both you and them. My relationship with my staffy, Blue, is hard to explain, she’s somehow telepathic
The other day I was walking along a local green lane and I noticed that my 14 year old Lab, Dora, was struggling in the heat. So I made a mental note to turn round earlier than normal, at Peter the farmer’s barn. Imagine my surprise when I reached the barn and turned to look for my dogs and saw that Blue had stopped 20 yards behind me and was patiently sat waiting for me to turn round! She knew…
I had many similar occurrences with Brack, my old Lab, and just to show how soft I am, Oslo turned up to see me this morning. I hate them wrecking stuff, but as individuals, I’m a soft touch.
Interesting story Gordon and yes the lion does represent the Tribe of Judah (not the Jews) and Christ. That’s how you can tell the false royal coat of arms such as on government stationary because the real coat of arms has a lion atop the crown!
also as St Augustine said, “The truth is like a lion, it needs no protection. Set it free, it can care for itself”.
Good point Ian. Bear in mind we are told to beware of the fake lion; “in the last days going round LIKE a lion destroying whom he will” We are seeing this now with fake Israelites in the Middle East!
I will add to all this, I’m struggling just now and my garden is my, or at least my main escape. I get lost in it mentally. It’s not huge, but it’s very productive. Yes I get really angry about cats and slugs, and kids throwing litter in, “I’m on the road to school”, but, and it’s a big but. It’s bluster. Today, the main culprit, Oslo from the pic, came to see me. I stroke him and give him treats, and tell him to behave, but know that he won’t. I rescued a young jackdaw who couldn’t fly properly from the main road from the road, and rescued a snail which was heading for disaster. It’s like the grandkids, I moan on about them wanting lifts everywhere, then the phone rings, and I’m aye, no problem I’ll be there in ten minutes. A soft old bugger, I’m afraid.
