weird neighbours

[Melissa Doordaughter]

It sounds crazy but I think my neighbours have stolen our cat.

Ever since we got him 4 years ago they have been inviting him into their home, feeding him etc, even when our court yard was full of stray kittens, it's our cat they liked best.+

Then he went missing about a month ago and they were really worried, going round the neighbourhood asking if anyone had seen "their" cat, asking me if I'd seen him 3 times a day. I was pretty calm cos I figured he'd just gone walkabout. Sure enough after 10 days he came home.

Now he's gone again but the neighbours are acting really weird: they've stopped whisteling for him in the evenings, haven't asked me once if I've seen him. Anyway, it's a petty drama, but I have a really strong feeling that they've done something with him.

What I'd like is a rite or visulisation that will take my family off these peoples radar. Like maybe a psychic invisibility??? I've already sent some reiki to Meggy n hope he can come home but can anyone suggest something that will direct the neighbours attention off us? Under their house next door is a goldsmiths workshop and I wonder if the close proximity to all that gold has made them really avaricious.... like I said when we first got our cat the yard filled up with kittens but it was our cat they had to have...

Thanks

I think I would be annoyed if my neighbours were being territorial about any pet of mine. I for sure would have told them to NOT invite him into their home and to NOT feed my pet under any circumstances at any time. If your cat comes back home I think you need to lay down the law with them about that and tell them to not encourage your cat anymore.

I have two suggestions for you re: getting your family and home off the neighbour's radar. One is ritualistic and the second is more practical.

You can visualize a reflective mirror in front of your house that will reflect their intentions back at them. You will need to reaffirm that visualization every day.

On a more practical level I'd suggest that you mount a surveillance camera on the outside of your house that is aimed towards their house and the goldsmith's shop and that is very clearly visible to them. Even if it's an old 2nd hand camera that isn't really functioning that should still get the message across to them to mind their own business. If they ask why it's there you can tell them you think some thieves have been hanging around casing out the neighbourhood houses and the goldsmith's shop lately and you want to get them on video if they come back again. You wouldn't be telling a lie since you already feel you are on their radar - return the favour by letting them know you've got your own radar up.

I hope your cat comes back home. Just out of curiosity - is the cat neutered? If he isn't neutered that may be why the cat goes walkabout.

Thanks for the quick reply Crystal woman,

Yes you're right, I should've said something to them as soon as it started! Well, no use crying over spilt milk but definatly a lesson to be learned!

The cat has been nuetered (as I mentioned there are loads of stray cats around here every spring and we didn't want to add to them)...

I was thinking too about a mirror. How about a mirrored dome over the house and some nice light within? Or is a dome gonna cut out energy from all directions? Maybe just a mirrored wall between the gardens? I've also been thinking about growing some nice tall flowers along the border, like hollyhock, to create a better barrier. I also believe hollyhock is quite a magical flower...

As for the camera !?!? I'm not sure what dear husband will think of that: in fact it kinda makes me smile even to think of it.... I don't wanna be super invasive but as you pointed out, if I'd have been more respectful of my own boundaries earlier, the situation might not have reached this point.

Thanks for the input. Is there anything else I can put along the boundaries of the house? Or working just with visulations will be potent enough?

Thanks again,

Melissa

I think a mirrored dome would really cut you off from most things - not just the neighbors. It'll also take a lot of energy to keep up. There are ways around that but... Crystal Woman would be much more knowledgeable to advice you on which crystals would be best to charge for that and were to bury them.

Also you should be thinking more orb than dome. A lot of people don't think of or realize that the bottom needs to be protected too.

I don't know why but the mirrored dome/orb shield has become quite popular. They're actually not that hard to break through if it's the only line of defense that you have. It doesn't necessarily have to be someone who's been trained to do it. Someone with a small natural talent and a very strong will can break through one layer shields without even realizing that they're doing it.

Glitter or broken mirror shields serves a couple different purposes. It's distracting, if one isn't familiar with it it looks much harder than it is to get through, and whatever is being sent is not being returned in a mirrored beam (think of shining a flashlight in a mirror).

I actually prefer the invisibility orb to the mirrored ones. The mirrored orbs will reflect back what is sent. If there is malice in what is sent out then they will perceive malice towards them. That creates a catch-22 where the person looking ends up feeding themselves and making it worse.

There's as many different ways to create an invisibility shield as there are people that can think of coming up with one. One of the ones I really like, especially for people just getting into shielding, isn't so much as invisibility as a slippery - look somewhere else thing. If you're ever seen hot pavement shimmer under a summer sun you'll know what I mean. That shimmer makes looking directly at you difficult because it's not a clear picture. If the outside surface of this orb is also slippery, their eyes can glide right past the image they can't quite see clearly and slide around the orb to whatever is on the out sides of it.

I think putting a shield between the gardens is an excellent idea. I just wouldn't go with the mirror. (That's just me - you can do whatever you like.) You can also add some 'do not think about me' energy into is as well. I think you're idea of using magickal plants as a barrier is a great one. Can you get away with putting up a trellis in between and growing something climbing?

I always suggest layered shields. This way if the outer barrier is broken there are more layers to get through. You can create an emergency shield in a moment when it's necessary but a good solid, multi-layered shield takes time. Anything well thought out takes time.

I understand difficult neighbors. I have one.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by working with visualizations. It can mean different things to different people.

[Melissa Doordaughter]

Thanks Rose Red, slippery sounds great...

I meant is it enough to just put up an energetic barrier, so with the visualisation of a mirror for example, or whether it would be good to focus my intention also on something material, for example burying a protective stone or putting down some salt along the boundary.....

I've got a strong feeling for salt as helpful, at a border, but not sure why. Any one got any information about this?

[RoseRed]

I would do all of the above.

You can charge the protective stone or crystal your visualization. This way the stone can continue to project it for you.

I always do a salt barrier around my home. I also wash my door jambs and windowsills with salt water.

Hi again.

Dh has found Meggy's corpse.
He was a really special cat. I'm going to miss him.

In his passing he's helped me clarify my feelings about the neighbours. I'll still be placing a mirrored wall, and if we get a cat again, will certainly be laying down the law from the start.

Thanks again.

Melissa

[RoseRed]

I'm so sorry. It's always difficult when we love something.

I'm glad that you're going to continue with your shield/protections.

[crystal woman]

So sorry Melissa.

[bluebirdmama]

Hugs. So sorry.

[teatime]

oh i am so sorry about you cat. animals are so special to us.

[alleyjames]

May be they have done something with her. but if they love that specific cat then they are having it with great love. Problem is if she won't return to home then you have o think where she go.

[Jadeswan]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your cat.
