The way we connect with our animal companions can be physical, emotional, energetic and intuitive. We may notice the way they shrink when they are scared, the way they approach you when they are comfortable with you, the shift in the way they react to our changing moods... the one way that many overlook is our intuitive connection. Practicing will help to build this connection. Give this exercise a try. ✨ Here's how it works: 🦋 1. Take a moment to look at the three animal oracle cards below. Which one are you naturally drawn to? Don't overthink it. Trust your first instinct! 🐾 2. Share your choice in the comments. Is it Card 1, 2, or 3 PLUS: What attracted you to that particular card? What do you sense its message might be for you? 💚 3. Come back later today! At the end of the day, I'll reveal the overall message for each card so you can compare it with your initial impressions. Remember, there's no right or wrong answer! This isn't about predicting the future or getting the "correct" interpretation. It's about learning to listen to your intuition, noticing what resonates, and discovering what animal wisdom might inspire in your life. 🌿 Ready to give your intuition a little exercise? I will share the message with you at the end of day, but let your own intuition show you the reason that it is calling to you today. Trust what you are feeling. Let the message be your guide. Take a look at the three cards below and tell us... Which animal is calling to you today? 🐾✨ 1. Swan 2. Cat 3.

I’m Robin, and I found this community through Ask Lynne’s Health Exchange, where I first connected with Arlana. I’m a longtime educator and researcher, and I’ve always been fascinated by how we learn, communicate, and form relationships, including those that don’t involve words. My husband and I are preparing to welcome an Egyptian Mau kitten named Butch this weekend! We’re currently kitten-proofing the house, and his arrival has sparked an even greater interest in feline behavior, animal communication, and building a relationship based on trust and understanding. My background is in education rather than animal behavior, so I’m especially interested in exploring the science behind the human-animal connection while learning from others’ experiences. I’m looking forward to getting to know Arlana and the rest of the community!

Welcome to our very first Animal Wisdom Wednesday! 🌿 Today, we're going to have a little fun exploring and stretching our intuition through the wisdom of animals! Learning to trust our intuition is an important part of our communication with or own animal companions. ✨ Here's how it works: 🦋 1. Take a moment to look at the three animal oracle cards below. Which one are you naturally drawn to? Don't overthink it. Trust your first instinct! 🐾 2. Share your choice in the comments. Is it Card 1, 2, or 3? What attracted you to that particular card? What do you sense its message might be for you? 💚 3. I'll respond to each of you individually as we explore your choices and intuitive impressions together. 🌟 4. Come back later today! At the end of the day, I'll reveal the overall message for each card so you can compare it with your initial impressions. Remember, there's no right or wrong answer! This isn't about predicting the future or getting the "correct" interpretation.

Today I want to share a post I found in another community... It is truly another good day for animal news! NBCUniversal Local has announced the results of its 2026 Clear The Shelters campaign, and more than 135,000 shelter animals found homes during the months of July and August! More than 1,200 shelters and rescues participated across 47 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam, with over 100 NBC and Telemundo stations helping spread the word.

I've been loving the conversations that have been happening in here lately — and they've got me thinking about more ways we can connect with each other. So rather than me deciding what you might enjoy... I'd like to ask you. If we added some casual community chats or gatherings, what would you actually enjoy getting together to talk about? They could be about our animals, our relationships with them, things we're struggling with, strengthening your intuition, enrichment ideas, diet, things we're curious about — It could be a Q and A, or simply an opportunity to get together with other people who understand how important our animals are in our lives. And I'd love your help naming them too! What would make you think: “Ohhh... I'd come to THAT!” Drop your ideas below — serious, quirky, half-formed... they're all welcome. You may suggest something that becomes our next community gathering. 🐾 @Anne Iglesias @Cheryl Butler @Chris Brandwein @Olivia Brown @Claire Rowlands @Dr. Peninah Wood Ph.D @Krista Ducey @Sammie Dan @Sandy DeBar @Tammy Demchuk @Sara Fredrick @Gemma Sheppard @Megan Gerace @Katia Jewitt @Kristina Persson @Natasha L @Robin McKay @Tina Wheeler
