Smudging isn't new age. It's very old, a Native American ritual. I
ocassionally smudge the entire house, walking from room to room and smudging
the 4 corners of every room in a clockwise motion. View the cats through
the smoke and smudge them too. (And I love the smell.)

You aren't nuts. I have too many friends who smudge (use sage the way you
described). It is common in Native American cultures and even some
Christian religions (using incense at funerals etc). It is definitely
worth the effort---most of my friends try to get white sage and it has a
wonderful odor.
They also believe in burning candles of various colors. I think green
attracts health.........a Google search for the meaning of candle colors
would give this information.
If nothing else, you may feel like you are doing something. And that may
make you feel better.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

I was thinking, while it won't heal the cats...maybe it would clear away
whatever was keeping her from accurately diagnosing the problem???

This is too cool. I'm not a big believer in new age stuff myself, but I
am totally willing to accept that there may be forces at work in nature that
respond to nontraditional methods such as Laura's. And in any case, unless
someone's allergic to sage or whatever the particular substance is for the
job at hand, it couldn't hurt! LOL re the harpie!

Kelly,
Unfortunately, I don't have a CLUE as to what is making your cats so ill.
I WISH I had an ACTUAL answer tho for you. You are in my prayers, as are
your cats.
Rest assured I'm certain, whatever is happening, isn't your fault. When
you deal with alot of animals, the odds will catch up with you sooner or
later.
I only have one suggestion, kinda a last ditch:
"what-the-hell-it-might-not-help, -but -it -can't- hurt -thing".
Now mind you, I'm REALLY NOT a new-age-y type person, but a young girl I
shared an office with once was. Our team was having a HUGE run
of bad-luck...misplaced paper work, unexplained dropped projects &
contracts, dead beat clients, poor communication between the project manager
and the prototypers, continual run of illness-non-stop and a project manager
who stalked around *screaming* at people like a skitzoid-harpie.
Laura brought dry sage in one day, set it lightly smoldering (just so it
smoked-no flame) and starting from the far windowless side of the office
outlined the walls, pushing forward towards the door like she was moving a
solid invisible wall. ("Chases away bad vibes/spirits" was her explanation,
to which I remember thinkin' "ok, *SHE'S nuts*!") Once she moved the sage
to the door, ("pushing everything bad out"), she drew an "x" across the door
frame, tampered the smoke and pinned the sage above the door jamb. Not five
minutes later, our Harpie-isc manager comes flying into the common area
outside our office, in a rage heading our way, turns like she's bee-lining
it into yell at us, and I SWEAR, she stopped dead in her tracks at the door
frame, looked around all confused, muttered something along the lines of not
remembering why she had come to our office, and skulked away! We all
started roaring with laughter, I apologized to Laura, who repeated her
"cleansing" of our office whenever things started to go bad...and Ms. Harpie
NEVER stepped foot into our office again. Laura's advice to me: "When the
unexplainable is raining down on you, try remedies that can't be explained."
Ok, now you all think I'm nuts, BUT, I've tried it from time to time,
outside of work, and it, for a reason known only to God, seems to work.
God Bless, Good luck,
T

To leave the world a better place - whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch, or an improved social condition - that is to have succeeded. That
only one life breathed easier because you lived - that is success.
