We’ve all known them—the terrified strays or shelter cats who enter your home and immediately vanish under the nearest piece of furniture, not emerging for days… or weeks.
Every day, you crawl toward your Boo, cooing gently, sliding her food and water bowls forward like offerings to a reclusive deity. If you’re lucky, they’re met by a curious nose. If not—a hiss and a ninja-fast swipe. Day after day.
“She’ll come out eventually; just give her time,” cat lovers say. But you wonder – isn’t there some way to speed this up?
You’re right – there is! I use a method adapted from animal communication and energy healing. No special training required—just patience, practice, and focus.
Here’s the key: Cats respond to images, emotion, energy, and intention. To reduce their fear and earn trust, use these tools to communicate love, gently and consistently, over time.
Building Connection
First, sit near Boo’s hiding place. Take some deep breaths to relax and release expectations. Focus on feeling your love for your cat. Picture that love as a warm fire glowing in your chest.
Now imagine it overflowing, down your arms and into your hands. Bring your palms together and feel the warmth growing between them. You’re ready!
Sit by Boo’s hideaway, where she can see you, but don’t invade her space. With your palms facing her, send the warmth from your heart toward her, imagining your hands stroking her fur. Talk softly to her and blink slowly—this is feline love-language.
Boo might glance your way or ignore you entirely. Either is fine—this is about connection, not instant results! When she walks away, it’s her signal that she’s had enough.
Building Trust
Repeat these short sessions at the same times daily – the more consistent you are, the faster you’ll see progress. As Boo starts relaxing in your presence, move your hands gradually closer to her while sending energy, until she is close enough to sniff your fingers.
Once she’s comfortable, gently brush her whiskers or rub her cheeks, flowing love through your hands. Gradually extend petting until Boo allows full-body strokes. If she shows fear or irritation, back off—consent is Rule #1!
Building Expectation
Every day at mealtime sessions, offer treats or food in your hand while flowing love and speaking softly. Boo will begin to expect you and come out to meet you, associating your hands with food and comfort. As she eats, snuggle closer, letting her feel your presence.
When she’s relaxed, gently shift her into your lap. Stroke her fur, offer treats, and enjoy the closeness! Practice this daily until Boo feels at ease.
The Big Moment: Liftoff!
Once she’s comfortable in your lap, gently lift her front paws to your shoulder. Support her bottom and hold her close. Over time, as her trust grows, you’ll be able to stand while holding her.
Congratulations! You’ve transformed your scaredy-cat into a snuggle-buddy—with love, patience, and persistence!
