The lion is called the King of the Cats. With his regal mane and threatening roar, it is easy to see why he has this name. He also lazes around all day – well, if he must laze anyway -and gives off such a laid back attitude of โgo away and donโt bother meโฆ Iโll let you know when I want to be botheredโ, which seems to be a trait shared by other, more domesticated cats.
Spudley the Cat is the complete opposite. Sheโll wait around for hours in all weathers just to catch a glimpse of us through the window, and when she does see us, sheโll mouth her version of the English word โHelloโ (Wewwo, in her โCatlishโ)
Lions are extremely sociable animals, and live in prides, helping each other to catch their pray, or find suitable places where they can all laze around together in the afternoon sun.
Spudley seems to know lots of cats that visit, but I donโt think sheโs as sociable with other cats as she is with humans. Sheโll crouch and glare and watch intently as another cat walks anywhere around her area. Sheโll tolerate Frobisher, a big black cat with a white toe, and Jasper, a friendly ginger and white tom who lives around the corner who is always ready to pounce over for a little stroke if you say โhelloโ to him. With other cats, Spudley pretends to be unaware that the other cats are there, but you can tell that she is watching their every move.
I had a dream in January this year, where I believe I met one of my animal spirit guides, who was a lion cub. I havenโt met this guide since (well, not that Iโm aware of anyway; and I donโt think Iโve met any other spirit guides either since thenโฆ) but Iโm wondering something now that has me puzzled.
Not that horoscopes, in my book, have any connection with spirit guides as such, the different astrological signs do have connections with each other. Some signs are more compatible with others, and others less so.
Leo, the lion sign of the Zodiac, is a fire sign, and Leos are said to be the least compatible with Pisceans, a water sign. Iโm Piscean, and I donโt know whether this is true or not as Iโm not one hundred per cent sure of all of the people who I knowโs star signs, and if I didnโt get along with someone, I donโt think asking them their star sign will help to bridge any problems in the short term anyway (and going on that way of thinking, most of the people I work with may be Leos, so itโs probably better to leave this train of thought right hereโฆ)
So. Leos donโt like Pisceans, but cats love fish. Cats arenโt too keen on water, yet Spudley loves being out in the rain. And Spudley doesnโt give any kind of impression that she isnโt keen on a Piscean human. Spudley is still picking up other words in English. The other week, on a particularly rainy day, she trotted over to me and said her usual โWewwoโ forty or fifty times, and I tickled her behind her ear. She purred profusely, and I asked her, quite nonchalantly, if she was a bit wet. She replied by saying โWit Wetโ, very clearly indeed. Sheโs a very clever cat, that one!
All of that, Iโm clear on. I may be right, I may be wrong, but to me itโs clear. What Iโm puzzled about is if my spirit guide could be a lion. It was a vivid dream, so Iโm in no doubt that Iโm on the right path, in the right part of the Savannah if you like. The lion cub approached me, I didnโt approach him, and he was very friendly. Would he have chosen me if heโd known of my Piscean side? Does this really matter to spirit guides? Or did my spirit guide, who I have still yet to meet and get to know, reveal himself (or herself) in the guise of this lion cub just to open my mind to that way of thinking?
Iโll probably find out the answer to these questions in due course. One thing Iโm absolutely certain on, is that although the astrological representation of the king of the cats and myself are said to be incompatible, the physical, domesticated version of the animal and myself are extremely compatible indeed.
Starting with something like that, something as small as Spudley, is bound to go some way to help me with the compatibility issues with any Leos that are out thereโฆ
