Cats and Grounding

January 8, 2014


If you’ve ever had a cat, you probably noticed how sensitive they are to energy or changes in energy. This is a big part of who felines are and it rules much of their world.

Many cats feel that their job is to keep the energy clean in a household. They are constantly moving around adjusting the vibration. Some dislike a particular person because their energy is too chaotic or disrupts what the cat has established. Other cats can sense and/or see spirit or vortex energies. There are also some cats that don’t pay attention to any of these things, but in general cats are concerned and involved in the energetics of their home and body.

It is not uncommon for me to get calls about cats that are anxious, aggressive, restless, or depressed. Very often these cats only live indoors and they tell me that they have a build up of internal energy that they have no outlet for. It is very important for these cats to get outside and touch the earth. This grounds their energy and lets the excess drain off. Of course it is also a wonderful way to stimulate the senses, but the grounding aspect is frequently overlooked.

I realize that some areas are not safe for cats to roam and in these instances there are a few alternatives. Some cats take well to walking on a harness and leash. It takes time and training indoors, but once they are comfortable you can begin walking them outside. When I was on my road trip, I saw many cats in RV parks that walked on leashes.

They can also spend time outside in an enclosure. This might be something you make yourself, or there are many companies that make kits to assemble. There are also ways to fence your yard so that your cat can’t get out and other critters can’t get in. Here are links to several cat enclosures or systems:

If you have a cat that needs to touch the earth for his or her mental and physical wellbeing, try one of these ways to help them do that.
