Pet communicators featured at weekend show
Pet communicators Suzanne and Chuck Fisher will be giving free 2-minute pet communication sessions to anyone bringing in a picture of a pet to the Star City Cat Fanciers' Cat Show at this weekend.
The show is at the Holiday Inn near the airport, 3315 Ordway Drive, July 4 and 5.
The Star City Cat Fanciers is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and welfare of cats.
The Fishers were here at the SCCF's winter show as well. They have made appearances at pet expos and cat shows across the country.
In their press release, the couple said that many people joke that they are unsure that they want to hear what their pets have to say about them. My own lack of communication with my cat Thai (pictured here) is well-documented. He has one idea about how things should work around our house, and if I have another opinion, I guess I can just keep it to myself.
This is America, after all. I have the right to be foolish and wrong in the eyes of my cat.
The Fishers maintain that by opening the lines of communication, pet parents can solve behavioral problems like choosing inappropriate places for potty breaks, furniture destruction, and using people as scratching posts.
I'm not sure I would put my faith in a brief consultation to completely resolve such sticky issues, but hey, it's free and it certainly can't hurt to get a new perspective.
Might be an option for our biting kitty friend. There is another pet communicator here in the area for a more indepth pet conversation if she is open to it.

Sound like a community service to me. If we had a Pet Free Clinic, I'd donate to add such services. FYI: I engaged the talent of Patty Summers to help me discern an issue with my horse and my terrier. While I was on the phone to Patty, my horse suddenly walked into the barn from his grazing and put his head in my lap. Nope, no treats, no entreaties, no enticements. He began responding to my requests thereafter in a most unusual fashion--ie, instead of ignoring me with his rear end in my direction, he faced me and cooperated. So...why not try it?
