A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR PETS
A Little Help from Your Pets: A Hilarious Guide
Welcome to the whimsical world of ancient Celtic beliefs, where cats are mystical seers and dogs are good luck charms. Grab your furry friends, and let's embark on this magical (and slightly ridiculous) journey of animal-assisted inner-world exploration and fortune.
Peering into the Inner World with Your Cat
Ever looked into your cat’s eyes and thought, “What secrets do you hold, oh wise feline?” According to ancient Celts, those mesmerising eyes are the windows to the inner world. Here’s a step-by-step guide to turning your ordinary house cat into your mystical guide.
Step 1: Training Your Cat
First, you must train your cat to sit close to you or, if you’re brave, on your lap. This might be the most challenging part because, let’s face it, cats have their agenda. Bribery with treats is encouraged.
Step 2: Moon Gazing
Position yourselves to face the direction where the moon will rise. This might require some knowledge of astronomy or a good moonrise app. Get comfy because this could take a while.
Step 3: Synchronized Purring
Start stroking your cat gently. The goal is to get your cat to purr, creating a soothing soundtrack for your mystical journey. Your breathing and the cat’s purring should become one harmonious sound. Keep trying if your cat is more interested in attacking your hand or running off.
Step 4: Unison of Thoughts
Once you and your cat are in sync (which may take a miracle), you’ll begin to feel and see the same things. Your thoughts will intertwine, and you’ll gaze into the inner world together. Or you’ll just end up with a purring cat on your lap, which is pretty nice, too.
Step 5: Perseverance
Do this every evening. If nothing happens on the first few nights, don’t give up! The mystical bond with your cat takes time. Or your cat is just messing with you. Either way, keep at it. Persistence is key!
Black Dog: The Harbinger of Good Luck
Now, let’s talk about dogs. Specifically, black dogs. If a black dog decides to visit you, congratulations! According to ancient Celtic beliefs, this signifies impending good luck. Here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Welcome the Dog
Treat the black dog like royalty. Give it a cozy spot to rest, feed it some delicious treats, and let it watch TV with you. The idea is to make it feel at home because a happy black dog equals good luck for you.
Step 2: Embrace the Luck
Look for signs of good fortune as you pamper your new furry friend. Did you find $5 in your old coat pocket? Did you get an unexpected compliment? That’s the black dog magic working!
While these ancient beliefs might sound out there, they’re a fun way to bond with your pets and bring some magic into your life. So, enjoy the journey, whether you’re synchronising purrs with your cat or rolling out the red carpet for a visiting black dog. And remember, if nothing else, you’ll get some quality time with your beloved pets—and maybe a few laughs along the way.
