Have you been noticed that your pets are somehow very sensitive to unseen beings or subtle energies? Are they psychic or just very sensitive?

There are stories of pets showed their extra-sensory abilities that may prove they have an advance sensing ability than humans do.

Stories such as: 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; a beloved pet, somehow lost on a family trip, miraculously finds its way home – sometimes traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles

Most people believe that pets are more sensitive than humans to visual, aural, magnetic and other subtle environmental factors and changes. We also think that animals possess some innate psychic ability that allows them to tune in to human brainwaves or even to see the future.

Theorists are now in the middle of their debate about this matter, usually those in the field of the psychic phenomena studies, devoted pet owners, more skeptical people at those in the field of scientific research.

Rupert Sheldrake, author of Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home (Three Rivers Press, 1999), 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 Sheldrake calls “morphic fields.” It 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.

Though debates continue among researchers and theorists about the pets’ sensitivity, the most important of all these is the idea that animal by nature is super-sensitive.

They can sense subtle vibrations, odors at electric and magnetic emissions resulting from the stresses within the earth.

But there are instances that it is much harder to explain, that animals or pets ruly seems to have foreknowledge of some disastrous event that involves them in a particular area.
