EFT Handles a CAT-astrophe

Dr. Kiya L. Immergluck describes how tapping helped two territorial cats accept two kittens.

I was working with a client recently who was grieving the death of one of her three cats. Shortly after the death she got two kittens from the animal shelter. Knowing that the two older male cats, "Rusty" and "Jake" would be very unhappy adjusting to kittens coming into their "turf," my client kept her kittens in her den with the door closed for several weeks.

When she attempted to slowly introduce the older cats to the kittens, "Molly" and "Theo," she had to hold Jake or Rusty very securely so they wouldn't kill the kittens.

My client was very concerned that there was no progress at all in terms of the cats getting used to the kittens. Jake and Rusty growled ferociously and could never be left alone in the same room with the kittens.

This week, my client was beginning to lose hope that the animals would ever adjust to one another when she suddenly had an "A-HA" thought: "Maybe I could TAP on them!!"

Since she hadn't learned to do surrogate tapping yet, she picked up each of the older cats separately and tapped directly on their bodies:

Jake allowed her to tap on the top of his head, above and below his eye and on his belly, while she said out loud:

Even though I HATE these kittens and want to kill them, I totally and completely accept myself...

Even though I HATE that these intruders are invading my territory, I totally and completely accept myself...

She did three rounds with each cat, although Rusty would only allow her to tap on his head.

Up until the day she tapped on them, Rusty and Jake had hissed and growled and not allowed the kittens to come anywhere near them.

Later on that afternoon, she walked into the living room and found all four cats napping together on the couch (as if there was never a problem)!

When she told some of her friends that she tapped on her cats and now they were getting along, she got some funny looks, but the proof is the "peaceable kingdom" among the animals in her home!

When we hear over and over again to try EFT on EVERYTHING, it really is a great idea!
