Remarkable stories of animal telepathy, sense of direction and premonition. Are these examples of our pets’ keen senses or are they evidence of an unexplained psychic ability?
We’ve heard these stories before: a pet cat jumps up onto the windowsill every day, several minutes before its owner arrives home; a pet dog barks just before a certain person calls on the phone, as if knowing the call was being made; a pet parrot, who’s learned to talk, says things seemingly in response to what its owner is thinking; and a beloved pet somehow lost on a family trip miraculously finds its way home – sometimes traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles.
How are these things possible? Do our pets – perhaps even all animals – possess some innate psychic ability that allows them to tune in to human brainwaves or even see the future? Or are they just more sensitive than humans to visual, aural, magnetic and other subtle environmental factors and changes – things we aren’t aware of and view as miraculous?
It’s an ongoing debate, usually with the psychically minded and a lot of devoted pet owners on one side, and the more skeptical and scientifically minded on the other.
Rupert Sheldrake, author of “Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home”, believes that animals have abilities that humans may have possessed at one time but somehow lost. Through his extensive research, he has concluded that there are three major categories of unexplained perceptiveness by animals:
Telepathy – a psychic connection that some pets may have with their owners through connections which Sheldrake calls “morphic fields.” This is this ability that enables pets to “know” when their owners are on their way home.
The sense of direction – this ability accounts for the “incredible journeys” some animals make to be with their owners, including homing pigeons.
Premonitions – which may explain why some animals seem to know when earthquakes and other events are about to occur.
While the answers to these questions continue to elude us, one thing is certain: you pet is special. Give it love and expect more in return.
