Do you believe in using telepathy to better connect and communicate with your cat? Joan Ranquet does. She is “an internationally renowned animal communicator and bestselling author” of Communication with all Life, Revelations of an Animal Communicator, published by Hay House.
She also wrote Animal Communication 101, Simple Steps for Communicating with Animals (available on Kindle).
Joan Ranquet has recently released a CD which instructs people how to used meditation to “neutralise your emotions” and “release body tensions”1 which allows a person to receive thoughts and feelings from animals. The product is called Communication With All Life. It is also in book form.
I am a realist. Some might say I am cynical. I wonder what people will make of these ideas: using meditation or telepathy to get inside your cat’s head.
Joan’s ideas and methods are a little mystical for me. I believe we can simplify the methods and language of communicating with our cat.
I am not saying that I don’t believe in telepathy or the benefits of meditation to improve communicating with your cat. It may work for many people. However, some people will be sceptical.
I believe that we can get into our cat’s head and understand what he is saying and thinking but we don’t need fancy concepts and training to achieve it.
What a person needs is:
- a genuine love of their cat
- lots of communication through sounds, words and actions that results in routines, which both the person and cat understands and gets used to
- understanding cat behaviour. You can learn that on PoC.
- patience – over time a cat owner following the above methods will understand what her cat wants and feels at any one time.
It really comes down to being close to your cat, spending lots of time with him/her and understanding cat behaviour.
However, I respect the idea that some cat owners might need some help to speed up the learning process and no doubt Joan’s books and CDs can achieve this. The reviews are good.
Would you buy this CD on meditation and animal communication?
For the sake of completeness, here are two definitions:
- telepathy – Communication through means other than the senses….
- meditation – A devotional exercise of or leading to contemplation.

People who are very close and on the same wavelength can communicate their thoughts.
Barbara and I often do.
She will be upstairs on her computer, I’ll be downstairs on mine and when we meet up again one of us will say something the other was just opening her mouth to say, we always look amazed at each other even though we have done this many times.
Your dream of your first husband’s death in a plane accident is amazing. Perhaps it should not amaze because we possibly do have abilities that we don’t fully understand.
I am not sure about telepathy, which has a mystical connotations. I prefer to see it in a more practical way: an ability to understand through being very close to a person or animal.
I don’t think we should try and “send images” to people or cats. Through genuine closeness we can “receive” an understanding of how our cat feels and what he wants and likes etc..
I don’t think it is “images” more “vibes” and “feelings”.
I agree this:
Michael, my housekeeper didn’t come across cats until she came to my house.She took a liking to cats after being forced to care for my cats. Today, over the years she has adjusted to them and likes them and they also reciprocate.
People should believe it when places are reputed to be haunted or have bad karma like that hotel. We don’t need to be able to explain why exactly it’s bad to know to stay clear of it. But humans are so curious, so they jump right in where common sense would tell them not to go. And many people don’t want to believe in any type of supernatural or spiritual anything, choosing to live in denial. What you don’t believe in can still hurt you if it’s real.
I saw an episode on one of those shows about hauntings and the animals were as terrified as the people– maybe more so. The homeowner’s pet rabbits would thump their feet in the middle of the night– thumping a warning that there was an evil presence. The humans kept telling themselves it was their imaginations, just denying that anything was wrong. Both rabbits died from fright. They were smarter than the humans.
Growing up in a house with a weird, bad vibe and the occasional flying object, unexplained noises type of things I definitely observed our cats react to something which we could not see. Humans can sit and argue about whether the supernatural exists, but the animals know. Perhaps through telepathy, they know. So if they can sense the presence of spirits, maybe animals can sense what is in the spirits of living human beings– judging whether people are good or bad, sensing when their humans are upset about something or feeling ill. It’s a common myth that animals are a good judge of character– that if they like someone, that person is probably a good person. I wouldn’t bet on that 100% of the time, because Monty perceives anyone who owns a dog as evil incarnate– but overall that myth must exist for a reason.
I read about this in the 1980’s, but I can’t remember the source. The writer said that to communicate with your cat telepathically think in pictures and send the message to your cat. You have to do it through images, not words. I’ve been trying to communicate with cats through sending them mental images for decades, on the off chance there was something to that. I don’t know if it ever worked.
I don’t think Christian faith excludes a belief in the supernatural or in things like ESP. I knew my first husband was going to die a week before it happened. I had premonitions and I even dreamed pretty much the whole thing, waking up at exactly the moment of his death in a small airplane accident. I think though that Christians don’t put their faith in these things, they can still believe in them. They realize that visions or premonitions could be from evil spirits as easily as they could be from good, so they tread carefully. I ask myself, “Is this from Jesus Christ?” Could the message that Danny was going to die have been from the Lord? Yes, because it warned me away from Danny when it was his time, so that I would not be involved in the accident and it helped cushion the shock of initially learning of his death. Did I have a premonition through an innate ability or was it a message from a supernatural source? I don’t know. Either answer is acceptable.
Telepathy isn’t too much different than the ability to have a premonition. It’s just another ability beyond what we normally see in this fallen world, but I think the fact that we speculate about it means it probably is an ability humans could possess, especially as a way to communicate with animals who cannot speak to us using language. I have heard that those who have had near death experiences often did not communicate with others through language, but just through an immediacy of thoughts– a communication beyond words. That’s what we’d need to communicate with animals– something different from words, because their brains aren’t set up for language. They can understand some words, but not an entire language with grammar, syntax, tenses and that kind of thing.
This would be a very unpopular topic for the devout christian or those who have never experienced a psychic phenomenon. The correct terming is a “spiritual connection”.
We need not be so arrogant as to think that we know our cats (or other animals) better than they know us.
Cat thinking is without ego and rational/irrational thinking. Their thinking is pure. They possess an intuition that we will never know. They do not fear death, as many of us do, because their minds are not muddied with myths and notions. Therefore, they are privvy to what the “real deal” is. They have the ability to feel us and anticipate us.
We need to unmuddy our minds and open them to all the wonders.
