What different breeds specialise in

Although most cats have the gift of healing, animals of different breeds, colours and sexes have their own specialisation. It has been established, for instance, that females have a better healing effect than males. Females do good to people with disorders of the nervous system and the internal organs, males to those who suffer from osteochondrosis, sciatica and arthrosis.

Long-haired cats are held to be excellent neurologists and can cure their owner of depression, insomnia and irritability. Cats with a short but thick coat specialise in cardiovascular disease. As for the short-haired and hairless breeds, they are very good at treating illnesses of the kidneys, the stomach and the intestines. That said, the most ordinary yard cats deal with human ailments no worse than their pedigree kin. The owner need only try to work out which breed their pet is closest to.

And to understand how much negative energy a cat is able to take away, you need to look at it closely and note how much it is awake and how much it sleeps, how often it needs food and water. The more often the animal eats and the less it sleeps, the more active are the processes of metabolism in its body.

European Shorthair

A very lively, peaceable and sociable cat. It loves its owner, is rarely aggressive and takes to a person it likes at once.

The European Shorthair needs little time to take on a charge of negative energy. It usually treats its owner for fifteen or twenty minutes, holding such sessions several times a day.

Siberian

A lazy and mistrustful animal, as a rule very independent. It can sometimes be aggressive.

The metabolism of a Siberian cat is fairly slow, so a session of taking in negative energy takes it a long time. The cat treats itself no more often than once every two days.

Persian

A cat of little activity, apathetic, fond of a quiet setting.

The metabolism of a Persian cat is somewhat slowed. It can go on healing for a long time, but it takes negative energy from its owner in small quantities.

Siamese

An extremely active, aggressive, sociable and sensitive cat that divides people sharply into those it loves and those it does not. It treats the latter with mistrust and often ignores them. A Siamese cat takes on and gives out energy quickly. It takes negative energy in large portions over a short space of time. It treats only its own beloved owner, though.

Oriental

Behaves much like the Siamese, only it is even more particular about people. The distinguishing feature of the Oriental cat is its heightened nervousness, so it can be used for treatment only when it is in a good humour and nothing is troubling it.

Angora

Affectionate, kind and unaggressive, the Angora cat is held to be the best diagnostician of all and always finds the sore place unerringly. It is able to go on treating for quite a long time and sometimes does not leave its owner’s side for hours.

Sphynx

A cat of peaceable character. The Sphynx is able to take a great deal of negative energy at once and is held to be one of the most talented healers among cats.

Abyssinian

An active, self-reliant cat. Its metabolism is fast, and thanks to that the animal is able to take a great deal of negative energy at once. It sets about healing only when it feels like it, however.

Russian Blue

Affectionate, active, self-reliant, but it demands a great deal of attention. It takes little energy, but it is an excellent diagnostician.
