Pet owners might be the cause of their pet’s sickness.

Ditte Young is a clairvoyant, an internationally renowned telepath featured on The Telepathy Tapes, a TEDx speaker, and a bestselling author whose work bridges animal communication, parenting, and intuitive development.

My karmic cat Mushu has triggered more inner work than almost anything else in my adult life, so this conversation went somewhere personal fast.

Ditte explains how animals experience pain, why none of the dying animals she has sat with were afraid, and what’s really happening when your pet seems to be mirroring your emotional state. She also addresses the question I think many animal lovers privately wrestle with: how do you eat meat while loving animals as soulful beings?

Her answer surprised me. So did her perspective on why punishment fails with every species, and why one simple sentence spoken to your pet before you leave the house actually lands.
