Hey Belinda,
I'm sending out prayers today for Bailey. I hope he
sails through the procedures and whatever is done
helps him. It's so frustrating to watch our kitties
not eat, so the feeding tube will hopefully solve
that. I'm praying for strength for you also during
this tough time.

Dear Wendy,
Have you considered talking with an animal communicator?
You WILL eventually talk with Cricket yourself, but for
now, you are still too emotionally upset/still blaming

your own communication.

I would say the crickets are a sure sign that he is letting you know
he is OK. The other cats can sense him where as you can't and are
