Ask Pawfun’s Animal Communicator: Does my home-alone pet want a sibling?

By Janet Roper

How can you tell if your pet companion wants to be an only kid or have siblings?

This is a common question, especially from people work a lot and are leaving their pet at home alone.

One of my clients, who spends many hours working, worried that his only cat, Cleo, was lonely during his absence.

I asked him if anything had happened to make him suspect Cleo was feeling lonely. He maintained he hadn’t noticed anything, but he couldn’t help but think she must be feeling deserted. He wondered what Cleo had to say about having another cat join the household.

“I am the king!”
Cleo looked at me in total scorn, and replied: “Now, why would he think I would possibly want another cat around the house? I have the house to myself, I can do what I like when I like, and I have divided the house into zones which I can patrol and keep safe. Best of all, I have my person all to myself when he is home.” Cleo was in disbelief her human would even find this something to worry about!

Ask your pet these questions
Like Cleo, some animals prefer being an only kid, while others do not. We humans can discover for ourselves our pet’s preferences by asking them:

• What do you do during the day when I’m gone?
• Do you find the house too big to stay in by yourself?
• How do you feel about being by yourself?
• Is there anything I can do to make your time alone more comfortable?

When we take the time to ask these questions of our animal companions, we are discovering what life is like through their eyes, which will help us see if they would indeed like an animal companion or are fine by themselves.

Animal Communication Tip: When you are talking with your pet, imagine a white board. Ask your 4 legged companion to write down the answers to your questions. Trust your companion’s answers. You will then see for yourself how s/he feels about having a furry companion!
