Ellen, this is true. Sometimes our basic observations of humans are key in solving a case. And often, people don't say the things that would help us best -- and we need those basic rubrics to figure out the solution. Not to mention cases with infants or people who are unable to communicate verbally for whatever reason.

How can you know which it is, since the cat *can't tell you*? Maybe you're a
cat whisperer (yes, they exist, my best friend is one), and the cat *can*
tell you. But for most of us, it's pretty difficult to figure out *why* a
cat is doing whatever it's doing.

I quite agree Ellen - I just do not see any justification to separate
rubrics between species - any species.
The homeopath needs to do the interpretation in all cases - no
"canned translations"

Namaste,

Hi Cee,
It is not hard to find out - you need to ask the owner a lot of
questions to differentiate is all.
It comes with practice rather quickly.
It also helps if you happen to know the constitutional-type.

For example with the above items:
The lonely resentment marking does not happen when owner is home.
This peeing will be on owner clothes and possessions.
Urinary infection is easy to check with pH strips, as cats have
alkaline urine when they have such issues. ALso it is usually peeing
as opposed to spraying. Often done near the littler or in a
washbasin. There may be pinkness (blood) in the urine.
If the cat is an entire male, and the days are getting longer (which
is when nature triggers cats to be sexually active), and the spray is
particularly potent smelling, it's likely a male making his
statement. This will be high spraying, not peeing or low spraying.

Namaste,
Irene

"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt one doing it."

Or with even better luck on the bed, e.g. atop the brand new, snowy
white comforter...
And in *that* case, why stop with peeing? (Sigh, I wonder what he was
trying to say...)
They can be marvelously expressive little beasts.

Oh dear - I'm sorry:-)
Beds are also favorite places if you have a new love relationship and
there is jealousy:-)
I suggest:
Bach Willow for resentment - plus sprinkle some food pellets on the
bed (they tend no to pee on food - there is one exception)
plus set up a specific time with the cat in which you do something
special it can rely on every day at the same time.
And a dose of constitutional remedy:-)

If you have multiple cats and only one does what you do not want -
catch them in the act if you can, and then give all the other cats a
treat "for using the litter" or whatever the positive thing is.
And take the guilty party to the litter and demo and tell them to
"go in the litter"

If you only have one cat - demo three times in a row where the litter
is, and give a treat there (even if they do nothing there - this is
to do with communicating what is wanted).
Catch them using litter some time if possible and praise and treat.
(Communicate what you want. Scolding does not tell them that.)

Namaste,
Irene

cee,
actually, that is why i work with an animal communicator when something
is wrong with my cats. she gives me the subjective modalities and preferences
and has been right on target every time.

Hi Rosemary, Ellen,
With a human we have the possibility to ask open-ended questions. From
what I have read on the lists, both English and German language ones,
this is done far too rarely and far too superficially.

Any symptom, physical of psychological that we are considering for
selecting should rigorously be tested for its validity - not by using
our presumed knowledge of psychology (which would be "kitchen
psychology" with practically all homeopaths) but by asking the
patient.

This is one issue where I am fully behind the Sehgal method, which
emphatically stresses this point.

Regards

Luise

Hi Celia,
You can, to a degree by observing.

E. g.:

One of my late cats, a neutered tom, used to have these bouts of
urinating (he could not spray, it seems) off and on.

Sometimes it was at the door - outside there were other cats.
Sometimes his daughter, who loved him but liked to harrass him, had
been unusually active that way.

He considered himself the top-cat. As a rule the others did not
challenge him. But sometimes they did. He would not fight it out but
sort of withdraw into himself on these occasions or "walk away" (he
actually did succeed in doing the latter at one occasion:-(

The same happened when perhaps I had not paid enough attention to him
or ignored the "fact" that he had to be the first to greet when I
returned and all my pets came to welcome me at the door.

So it seemed that anything that troubled him was expressed by this
action. Luckily, since for one thing it was a valve and for another it
led me to a remedy to rebalance him.

With his daughter this did not happen. She never presented any
symptoms, seemed healthy all the time - and died at 8 years old from
acute kidney failure, probably the end phase of chronic k. f. When I
noticed this it was too late.

In a way it also happened with this tom. The basic vulnerability had
probably never been resolved. There were no symptoms - other than
these urinating episodes there was nothing to prescribe on (that I
noticed or knew of). So, not long after I had been gone
for 6 weeks he, developed the juvenile kind of diabetes, which did not
respond to my treatment. I still kept him in pretty good shape with
insulin for a couple of years - but he died at 12 years of age.

My 2 other cats who had had many complaints off and on and got half
the materia medica for them (one at a time:-) lived to be 19 years
old.

Regards

Hi Irene,
Where can I find more information on this on your site?? I did look
but did not find anything about it.
