Last month I communicated with a kitty named Bubs in Ontario, Canada, who had a very intense story to tell.
Kelly, her person, wrote the following in her booking notes:
“Bubs has a mysterious past. I adopted her from a shelter, who’d gotten her from the streets at just a year old.
She is terrified of going in the car or outside. She has also become too scared to go upstairs at nighttime.
She LOVES to cuddle, but randomly will go for long spells where she won’t.
She’s very attached to me, but just tolerates my husband, and I want her to know he loves her so much and is a safe person.”
Before we could connect at any depth, Bubs had to get a few things off her chest: “I am ok with this process, but don’t push too much, I like to do things on my terms.” I reassured Bubs and told her Kelly just wanted to understand her more.
Then the little kitty said, “I really like it here, Kelly listens to me, she takes in all of my meows.”
She showed me an image of her snuggling with Kelly and continued, “I really like snuggling, I like Kelly a lot. This is a good life.” Then with a sense of deep fear she said, “This isn’t going anywhere is it? I am not going anywhere, am I?”
Kelly and I both reassured her that she will live with Kelly and Darrin the rest of her life, that this good life is here to stay.
That seemed to open something up for Bubs.
She shared, “Yes, Kelly and I have a deep bond but humans are changeable. Things just fall away and it’s all of a sudden different.”
This is when Bubs started sharing images from her past along with mournful reflections.
I could tell that there was deep grieving happening as she told her story, and she was working out residual fears and apprehensions along the way.
Kelly gave me permission to excerpt part of the audio of the communication session here, so that you can experience Bubs’ story and transformation with the greatest detail and emotional impact.

But I will go ahead and share the highlights below 🙂
Bubs said, “I am close with Kelly, she wants me to be closer but I don’t know yet. I love her … well, I like her … love … like … like … love. I am very attached.”
The kitty went on, “I am scared to open my heart fully. I am not sure about people.
“Kelly is there for me. You need someone to be there for you when you live in a box.” (She meant a home or an enclosed space). Bubs continued, “It is terrible to be put in a box and no one is there to take care of you. ‘Let me out! Let me out!'”
I knew that this was an experience from her past that she was referencing. But honoring her request not to push, I just let her continue to share.
“I trust Kelly. I feel like she cares about me. We have fun together, she is like me, we are good friends.” She then showed me this image of Kelly literally running around the house with her, playing with her, throwing a red ball and chasing after her. Kelly confirmed she does this all the time with Bubs.
Then the kitty opened up and said “Kelly is helping me trust, it is not easy.”
With this a flow of images came from her life before.
She was trapped inside, left for days. It was hot, a second floor apartment. There was a young woman coming in, she was on drugs.
“Meow, meow!” Bubs said to her, but the woman ignored her. She didn’t even bring any food for the kitty, after having left her alone without food for so long. Bubs showed us this made her very mad, disgusted even.
I could sense this woman’s life was falling apart. There was a man in the background, with the clear sense that he was using the woman.
Bubs said, “I loved her,” and there was the knowing that her person was being raped.
Bubs continued, “I meowed at her. I tried to tell her what was going on. ‘He’s no good for you! You need to leave him! Let’s get out! Let’s go today!’ But she didn’t hear me, she didn’t understand.”
Then the little kitty commented, “Humans do mean things to each other, meaner than cats,” and then, “male humans are not to be trusted.”
Bubs continued, “I liked being in a closet in that house. This is where I was safe when he was there. He didn’t like me. Sometimes I peed on her clothes, on the things in the closet. This made her mad. I was stressed. I didn’t know what to do.
“It is not like that here. There is love here. There there is a man of whom I am suspicious, but he is respectful. He is kind.
“Tell Kelly I don’t want her to lose her power. I want her to stay whole, stay here, stay present.”
Kelly was so touched by this.
Bubs said, “I am afraid Kelly will go away like my other person did,” then showing us an image of her former woman’s face with a blank stare in her eyes. The kitty shared more, “I am trying to open my heart to my person, Kelly. I like / love her. She is different than my other person. She plays with me.”
Then something started to change. It was as if Bubs started to bask in this realization that Kelly is really different from her former person. Kelly plays, Kelly is present. Kelly is fully here for her.
Bubs said, “Maybe life is different here. Maybe I can be different. Maybe I can relax more.”
I told the kitty, “Yes, I think you can Bubs.”
And I said to Kelly, “I think a shift is happening, Bubs is taking this in and is beginning to feel different.”
After a few moments of quiet, while Kelly and I held the space, Bubs then shared about her favorite tree friend outside one of the windows in Kelly’s home.
She said that after she ran away from her former person’s home, and before she got captured and ended up in the shelter, she took solace in the trees and allowed them to balance her energy and heal her.
Now the spirit in this tree outside of Kelly’s house is her friend and she confides in her.
Bubs continued by saying she thinks Kelly loves trees too, at which Kelly laughed and emphatically agreed, “I am obsessed with trees!”
A few weeks after our communication session, I received this email from Kelly.
Hi Sharon!
I just wanted to touch base, to update you and say THANK you, so so much.
Your session with Bubs was healing for both of us! It’s such a wonderful gift to be truly understood by, and to truly understand your animal family. ❤️
I have such peace of mind now about her, and far more understanding of her behaviour.
You had mentioned that Bubs said she’d try to hang out more with Darrin. We noticed changes almost immediately. Proof attached!
You’d mentioned that she adores a particular tree out of a particular window, and that she spends a lot of time there, and that was amazing, because it’s so true. She protests when I close those shutters at nighttime, and is there to greet the tree first thing in the morning, lol.
You spoke of how she loves to be wrapped up and cuddled, and that’s she’d try to do more of that. (She has). ☺️
I just can’t thank you enough. What an excellent decision it was to book that session! I hope to have a session again in the future, and feel free to share these words with your community if it inspires you to do so!
Sincerely,
Kelly
