  This one's a fun one. It is.
• 1:56
  It's a good topic. OK, so for for some of our new
• 2:00
  subscribers, I for anyone that doesn't already know you and
• 2:03
  love you, can you give a little intro or our our friends?
• 2:07
  So I am Laura Lee Medley. I am Moon Mojo feline.
• 2:12
  I'm a holistic cat practitioner, animal communicator, Reiki for
• 2:17
  animals, herbalism for animals, crystal healing for animals.
• 2:22
  All the woo woo for super cats. Yeah, super woo cats.
• 2:27
  So I connect with cats and I go on a soul level and I help clear
• 2:34
  trauma and balance chakras and find out their purpose in their
• 2:39
  humans life. And yeah, I get to talk to cats
• 2:43
  all the time. I love it and and she is also
• 2:46
  the producer of our herb gardens for cats that we that we have
• 2:53
  made that we launched in 2025. Very excited, which is just
• 2:59
  flying off the shelves. Very, very excited for all the
• 3:02
  kitties to get Yeah, to self select their own herbs just, you
• 3:07
  know, just lovely. We're very excited about it.
• 3:10
  So so let's dive into color therapy.
• 3:14
  So. What can you kind of can you
• 3:16
  kind of give just an overview of?
• 3:20
  What is color therapy? Yes.
• 3:23
  All right. So color therapy is quite
• 3:27
  possibly the easiest way that you can help your cats like
• 3:34
  physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually like it
• 3:38
  is, it is so easy and you're probably already using color
• 3:44
  therapy with your cats. You just don't even know it like
• 3:48
  it's, it's so easy. The way color therapy works is
• 3:52
  it is said that color can impact your mood and your well-being.
• 3:59
  We and our cats, animals, all living beings absorb color
• 4:03
  through like our eyes and our skin colors have vibrational
• 4:09
  frequency. So we react to that vibrational
• 4:14
  frequency cats even more because they're extremely sensitive and
• 4:20
  they don't sit there. They don't have that like that
• 4:24
  part of their brain that goes is this really is this or that's
• 4:29
  woo woo? I'm not going to believe in
• 4:30
  that. They don't.
• 4:31
  They just naturally react to it. So it's, you know, it's a great
• 4:38
  way to help supplement traditional vet care.
• 4:45
  It's a good holistic approach that can help your cat.
• 4:50
  So for someone who's never heard of this before, can you kind of
• 4:53
  give, you know, you said that colors have different
• 4:55
  vibrational frequencies. Can you kind of give an overview
• 4:58
  is like, is there like a color wheel for color therapy?
• 5:00
  Like yes, can you a? Little open about that.
• 5:05
  Actually, it was Sir Isaac Newton who came up with how
• 5:11
  different colors vibrate on a different frequency.
• 5:15
  And it there, there's a wheel, there's the different
• 5:20
  frequencies, but there's also like a sliding like chart where
• 5:28
  our emotions also impact. And those are associated with
• 5:33
  colors also. So like yellow, yellow, the sun,
• 5:39
  you know, it gives you that warm feeling.
• 5:43
  Blue. Blue.
• 5:44
  Is a very calming color, which is why when we're at the beach
• 5:48
  and we're at the ocean, we feel calm and peace and happy too,
• 5:53
  because we're getting the sun. So it helps regulate and improve
• 5:59
  our moon vibrational frequency. I love that so so give us a how
• 6:06
  like going back to cat parents are probably already using it
• 6:10
  and they don't even know it. What do you mean by that?
• 6:14
  Like how do use it? Just generally how do we use it?
• 6:18
  And then we'll go into like each colors, right?
• 6:20
  Like the colors and what they work for.
• 6:22
  OK, so like if you have a blanket that you use to like
• 6:30
  color cover yourself on the couch, you know, on these cold
• 6:34
  winter days and it's red, you know, you may notice that your
• 6:39
  cat wants to lay on it too. And yeah, it's probably because
• 6:42
  you're there and it's probably because you're, you know, it's
• 6:44
  warm and everything. But it may be that they're being
• 6:48
  attracted, drawn to that red color.
• 6:52
  It's interesting. Just the other day I have a
• 6:55
  friend who has a cat who is coming through some health
• 6:59
  issues dealing with some IBD potentially.
• 7:04
  And also at the last vet appointment the anemia levels
• 7:09
  were off. And I told her I said offer him
• 7:13
  some yellow to help with the stomach because it's associated
• 7:18
  with the solar plexus and offer him some red because red is a
• 7:22
  good color to help with cats dealing with anemia.
• 7:25
  And she responded and she said Oh my God.
• 7:27
  For the past three days he's been laying on a red blanket
• 7:31
  that he never lays on. And I'm like, so.
• 7:35
  And it's we talk about when we, we've talked about the herbs and
• 7:39
  everything, we talk about self selection.
• 7:41
  It's kinda along those lines. Like the cat knows what color it
• 7:47
  needs. And even though cats can only
• 7:49
  see certain colors, it's that vibrational frequency that the
• 7:53
  color is putting off that the cat is drawn to.
• 7:56
  Right. Yeah, They see colors
• 7:58
  differently than we see them, but the vibrational frequency is
• 8:02
  something that they get more of than we do, or they pay
• 8:06
  attention to it more so. And I mean, and we do, we use
• 8:10
  color therapy without even realizing it too.
• 8:13
  When you're trying to get dressed in the morning and
• 8:16
  you're like all of a sudden like 1 like your green shirt, like
• 8:20
  you're drawn to that green shirt.
• 8:22
  You want to wear that green shirt.
• 8:23
  There's a reason for that. I mean, it's not a coincidence
• 8:26
  and I didn't plan this. It's not a coincidence that when
• 8:29
  I got dressed this morning, I put on this like turquoise blue
• 8:32
  shirt because turquoise is associated with the throat
• 8:35
  chakra, which is good for self-expression and
• 8:38
  communication. I mean, like it wasn't, it
• 8:42
  wasn't a planned thing. It was just that's the shirt
• 8:45
  that. I was right is what you were
• 8:49
  drawn to. So it doesn't.
• 8:50
  But but to, to make it clear, we all have so many colors in our
• 8:55
  house, right? Like, I mean, we have colors of,
• 8:57
  of, you know, we've got plants and we've got toys and we've got
• 9:02
  rugs and we've got blankets and we've got towels and we've got
• 9:05
  pens and we have, you know, all kinds of pillows, right?
• 9:09
  Like we have throw pillows, we've got couches.
• 9:12
  We've all kinds of different colors within our house.
• 9:15
  And so it's really interesting whenever we dive into this
• 9:17
  subject is when we start to really start to notice again,
• 9:21
  like where our cats are going and where they want to lay right
• 9:24
  now versus where they were laying before.
• 9:27
  You know, like what what, what they or, or what they're, you
• 9:30
  know, just kind of drawn to. It doesn't have to be a blanket,
• 9:34
  right? Like it, it doesn't have to be a
• 9:35
  blanket or a towel or it could be a toy.
• 9:39
  It could be, you know, what they're drawn to is a pen, or
• 9:45
  you know something something smaller too, but they find them
• 9:49
  laying by it, or you'll find them playing with it right?
• 9:52
  Or you can even. Use shirts.
• 9:53
  I remember doing this with Annie taking shirts and laying
• 9:55
  different colored shirts out on the foot and watching her pick
• 9:59
  where she wanted to lay. Again, and you can tell a lot by
• 10:03
  what color they're drawn to. Also like what's going on.
• 10:06
  You know, I find it interesting, too, that, you know, Annie is
• 10:10
  still trying to find her place in the house.
• 10:14
  You know, she's she's still trying to find where she is on
• 10:17
  that totem pole. And in the stories that you
• 10:21
  shared earlier this evening, she was playing with a red mouse,
• 10:26
  correct, Which is with the root. And it's very grounding, very
• 10:31
  feeling secure and safe in your environment.
• 10:35
  So. Yeah.
• 10:37
  Quick sidebar on that little mouse that is one of her face.
• 10:40
  She's got two favorite mouses. That one I actually have a video
• 10:45
  of giving it to her for the first time when she was still in
• 10:48
  her sanctuary space after we first found her.
• 10:51
  It has lost its eyes, it has lost its tail.
• 10:54
  It is not in very good shape, but that we can't just get like
• 11:00
  any mouse and play with her. She will ignore other mouse
• 11:04
  mouses, but that one is it's a big deal to her.
• 11:10
  And when we find it, it's like, Oh my God.
• 11:12
  So now I've started like when we're not playing with it, I put
• 11:14
  it away so that we always have. What's the other color that she
• 11:18
  likes? It's a Gray mouse I have.
• 11:21
  It next. That's a neutral color, so OK,
• 11:24
  yeah. I think he likes that.
• 11:26
  I think she likes the shaker in that one.
• 11:27
  She likes the salon in that one. But so you said like with red,
• 11:32
  for example. And let's kind of get into this
• 11:33
  because yeah. Let's get into like the colors
• 11:35
  of the rainbow, right, So everybody can like start taking
• 11:38
  notes on like what colors do what right for for.
• 11:44
  Our and is it always connected to like you keep bringing up the
• 11:47
  chakras like blue and the throat chakra red with the root chakra
• 11:50
  like are the colors all connected to a chakra which is
• 11:55
  basically for the. Most part, I mean everything
• 11:59
  ultimately goes back to our chakras.
• 12:04
  We have chakras, all living things have chakras and shockers
• 12:07
  are energy centers that our energy flows through.
• 12:12
  And if you have an unbalanced chakra, things are all off
• 12:15
  kilter. And I've noticed through working
• 12:18
  with Lord, I don't even know how many cats I've worked with now,
• 12:24
  that unbalanced chakras can present themselves in behavior
• 12:31
  issues and health issues. So, you know, if you think about
• 12:36
  it, you have cats who like are constantly fighting.
• 12:40
  Well, it doesn't surprise me when I find out that, you know,
• 12:44
  I work with them and their root chakra is unbalanced.
• 12:47
  Or you have cats who are dealing with IBD, 9 times out of 10,
• 12:53
  they're going to have an unbalanced solar plexus.
• 12:55
  I mean, so it's all it's all like it stems from everything.
• 13:00
  If your energy is not flowing correctly and there are colors
• 13:04
  for the each chakra. So you know, you start at the
• 13:07
  top and you have the crown chakra and that one is like a
• 13:11
  purple color. You have your third eye that was
• 13:14
  more like an indigo blue color. The throat chakra is your
• 13:18
  turquoise color. Your heart chakra is typically
• 13:22
  green, but pink can also go with it.
• 13:25
  Your solar plexus is yellow, your sacral is orange, and then
• 13:30
  your root is red. What's that?
• 13:34
  Sacral is sacral is the I guess a better word.
• 13:40
  Safe word would be like the loin area.
• 13:44
  The Loin. So, so like cats who have been
• 13:49
  recently spayed or neutered, their sacres are going to be
• 13:55
  unbalanced. Cats who are dealing with
• 13:58
  urinary tract infections typically, or, you know,
• 14:03
  blockages or whatever are typically unbalanced.
• 14:06
  Yes, Jay, you have your hand raised.
• 14:08
  I have a question. I have a question about that.
• 14:11
  So, and I know this would just be a theory coming from, you
• 14:14
  know, like I don't think there's like there's probably not a lot
• 14:16
  of science around it. But from your perspective, do
• 14:21
  you feel, especially when it comes to health issues, ailments
• 14:25
  and chakras, do you think that the ailment comes first and then
• 14:29
  the chakra goes unbalanced or the chakra comes first and then
• 14:33
  the ailment happens? Most of the time the chakra is
• 14:36
  unbalanced and then the ailment. Comes Yeah.
• 14:42
  And I just want to answer this question real quick, or if you
• 14:44
  could answer this. I love Taryn just said I have a
• 14:46
  kitten that only has one eye and one that has film over it.
• 14:51
  So she can see, but it's limited.
• 14:52
  She's trying to find her place in the house.
• 14:55
  Does this still apply to her? Oh yeah, like a blind kitten
• 14:59
  could definitely benefit from color therapy because they're
• 15:04
  feeling the color they're feeling the frequently.
• 15:07
  It's the vibrational sequence, the frequency that you were
• 15:10
  talking about, right? It's the vibrational frequency.
• 15:14
  Yeah, which would be really interesting to see if you laid
• 15:18
  down like all the colors which color she would gravitate
• 15:24
  towards, like the color which she which she picked, that'd be
• 15:28
  really interesting to see. So yeah.
• 15:31
  So a quick question, because I know back in the day, I believe
• 15:36
  it was like when a cat is running a fever.
• 15:39
  I can't remember who told us this, that to to lay down a blue
• 15:43
  blanket, that it, it's a that it's a cooling color and that it
• 15:48
  helps to that it can help to regulate temperature.
• 15:52
  Yeah. And it can.
• 15:54
  I mean, yeah. And there's warming and there's
• 15:56
  cooling colors. So like when I'm working with
• 16:00
  when I'm working with the chakras and I'm trying to
• 16:02
  balance like say the solar plexus, if the solar plexus is
• 16:10
  like overactive, I don't want to give it something that's going
• 16:14
  to make it even more. So then you would offer like a
• 16:17
  lighter shade of yellow as opposed to like a bright gold,
• 16:22
  you know. And it's the same with all of
• 16:24
  the chakras and all of the colors.
• 16:26
  You want to do lighter colors when they're overactive.
• 16:31
  So you would do like a light blue, OK, to like reduce the
• 16:35
  fever and then maybe brighter colors if the chakra is under
• 16:39
  active and you need to like, you know, balance it that way, then
• 16:42
  you would give it brighter colors.
• 16:45
  So how would one know though? As like an average cat parent,
• 16:48
  how would one know if a chakra is out of balance in their cat?
• 16:53
  Call Laura Lee. You know, I mean you can tell so
• 16:59
  like you're the root chakra deals with like the grounding,
• 17:05
  the sense of environment, like feeling secure in your
• 17:07
  environment. So if your cat is always hiding,
• 17:11
  very anxious, and then you know, root chakra is probably
• 17:16
  unbalanced. The sacral chakra, you know, if
• 17:20
  they're struggling to use bathroom, if they were just
• 17:23
  recently spayed or neutered, like I said, if they're having
• 17:26
  any kind of urinary issues, then it's probably unbalanced.
• 17:34
  The solar plexus belly, anything with that heart chakra.
• 17:41
  Obviously the heart throat chakra is really interesting
• 17:45
  because it deals with like thyroids also throat chakra can
• 17:50
  also if you have a cat that has dental issues, the throat chakra
• 17:54
  is probably unbalanced. It's also with the lungs, so
• 17:59
  respiratory issues. So all of that third eye chakra,
• 18:05
  third eye chakra, it's, it's interesting because the third
• 18:08
  eye chakra when you get up higher, your chakras deal with
• 18:12
  more like a soul level, you know, So the third eye is like,
• 18:17
  you know, that spiritual connection, soul contracts, you
• 18:22
  know, things like that. And then the crown chakra.
• 18:25
  And it's really interesting because I've noticed that with
• 18:30
  young cats especially like kitten kittens, root chakra is
• 18:35
  usually very like active. They're like new to the world,
• 18:43
  you know, they're trying to figure things out and
• 18:45
  everything. With older cats, with senior
• 18:47
  cats, I've noticed that their crown chakra is overactive.
• 18:54
  It's their connection to the universe.
• 18:56
  You know, they're, as they get older, that becomes more open
• 19:02
  for the next phase in their life.
• 19:05
  So it's it's really interesting. Hoobler.
• 19:10
  Hello Hoobler, We love you, she said.
• 19:12
  What color are naughty bits again?
• 19:13
  Naughty bits. Are naughty bits are orange.
• 19:18
  Orange. Really.
• 19:22
  Yeah. Yeah, and it's, you know, it's,
• 19:25
  it's really connected, like orange and red would be really
• 19:30
  good for recently spayed or neutered.
• 19:34
  Cats. OK, so and so moving along from
• 19:38
  health to behavior and talking talkers and talking about
• 19:42
  colors, what, what would you say more instead of like ailments,
• 19:47
  physical ailments, if cats are say super scared, right, like
• 19:54
  hiding under beds or like super stressed out or anxious, what,
• 19:59
  what, what colors would we want to offer?
• 20:02
  Are cats? If they are, you know, at that
• 20:04
  heightened level of anxiety. So you definitely want to give
• 20:07
  them red. Red will definitely ground them.
• 20:14
  Red will also give them some energy, which you know, you want
• 20:20
  them to have that confidence. So red is a good one.
• 20:23
  Green or pink is good because that's going to help give them
• 20:27
  that love. It's a soothing support for
• 20:30
  them. So it's everything's OK.
• 20:36
  Blue would be good because it promotes peace and calm and
• 20:41
  tranquility. So blue would be another good
• 20:44
  one. Orange actually would be good
• 20:47
  because it promotes confidence and joy, so you know you want
• 20:54
  them to to get that too. So lay out all the rainbows.
• 20:58
  If you have an anxious Kitty, lay out the whole rainbow and
• 21:00
  let them pick. I went when I first learned
• 21:03
  about color therapy. I literally went to like Walmart
• 21:07
  and went to their fabric section and just bought like like 2 foot
• 21:13
  squares of like all of the colors.
• 21:18
  So like I have red, yellow, orange, green, pink, purple,
• 21:22
  blue, turquoise. And so yeah, I just, I have it,
• 21:28
  my husband is a St. because the amount of like cardboard boxes
• 21:33
  that we have down plus herb gardens plus crystal gardens,
• 21:36
  plus just random pieces of fabric down for them.
• 21:40
  Yeah. I love him and.
• 21:44
  How what do you what do you notice about your own cats?
• 21:46
  I mean, do do certain cats have certain favorite colors?
• 21:49
  Is it like a? What do you see?
• 21:54
  I mean, it really depends. And and because I'm like really
• 21:58
  in tune with my cats and I know like I can connect with them and
• 22:02
  communicate. Nothing really surprises me with
• 22:05
  them. Like it, I it's a lot of like,
• 22:08
  oh, OK. I yeah, that makes sense.
• 22:11
  You went there. But I mean, they, they typically
• 22:16
  go to what they need when you're using the therapy.
• 22:22
  You don't want to replace like their favorite sleeping spot
• 22:29
  with it. You don't, you don't want to
• 22:31
  like put a red blanket in there, you know, favorite cat tree.
• 22:36
  You don't want to do that and it's actually best to use like
• 22:41
  neutral colors for things like their their like favorite
• 22:46
  sleeping place. I actually use white plates that
• 22:52
  I feed my cats out of just because I don't want to like do
• 23:00
  anything with their chakras as they're eating.
• 23:03
  So I use like white plates. If you're having the cat that is
• 23:11
  doesn't want to eat a lot, like if they're dealing with some
• 23:14
  stomach issues that they don't want to eat, using a red plate
• 23:17
  would actually work because it does improve appetite.
• 23:21
  Oh, that's awesome, 'cause Mr. Mr. Milligan has that question.
• 23:25
  As far as what? What's for the belly and refusal
• 23:28
  to eat what? What is it that is that part of
• 23:33
  the crown or the root? What if it's more psychological?
• 23:36
  Yeah, so I mean, yellow would be good if you know that it's like
• 23:40
  an upset stomach. Red would be good if, you know,
• 23:45
  like just doesn't have an appetite.
• 23:50
  And I know who he's talking about, I'm saying.
• 23:54
  Pop. But yeah, so but when you're
• 24:00
  using like tradition normal every day, I would stick with a
• 24:06
  neutral color for feeding just because you don't want to
• 24:09
  influence. You know, well, you know, you
• 24:13
  know, what's so interesting is so our cats have like our boys
• 24:17
  have blue plates for their raw breakfast and dinner, right?
• 24:22
  So our boys have blue plates, our girls, the, the two older
• 24:26
  girls have red plates and Annie has a yellow plate.
• 24:29
  And lately Jack and Madison have been super picky about their
• 24:36
  food. Now we're, we're introducing new
• 24:37
  proteins. And so it's very, you know, like
• 24:39
  it's very normal when we have new proteins that we're like, we
• 24:43
  need you to. Get a little bit of.
• 24:44
  Beef in you right. Like we just need to switch it
• 24:47
  up some more. So, yeah.
• 24:50
  So, you know, we ease it into their meals and they end up
• 24:53
  eating it usually, but it, you know, it just takes them a
• 24:56
  little while. So we thought I was just that.
• 24:58
  But what's interesting, and I'm not even thinking about this
• 25:01
  until right now, I haven't thought about this until right
• 25:03
  now, is that over the past few days, Jack will go to his dish,
• 25:10
  his blue plate, he will go to his food, he will sniff it and
• 25:13
  walk away. And I'm like, dude, he wants us
• 25:16
  to put some like special Churu treat or something on top.
• 25:19
  He's getting spoiled because we did that a few days ago because
• 25:22
  he wasn't eating and but and then Madison will do the same
• 25:26
  thing. But the past few days they've
• 25:28
  just been swapping, literally walking, sniffing there, saying
• 25:32
  no and then going there. The exact same food.
• 25:35
  It's the exact same food, the exact same Topper on top with
• 25:38
  the green juju, and they are swapping plates and then going
• 25:42
  and eating the whole thing. Yeah.
• 25:44
  And so he's wanting to eat from the blue and he's wanting to eat
• 25:47
  from the red. And I haven't even thought about
• 25:50
  how that could play into the whole color therapy thing until
• 25:54
  right now. Yeah, and that's, you know, when
• 25:57
  when you guys first got the mine platters and everything, I was
• 26:01
  really excited and then I was like, oh, they only come in the
• 26:05
  primary colors. Oh, so I wish that they made
• 26:10
  those in like a white or like a neutral color because, you know,
• 26:18
  like I, I don't, I don't, I don't use colored plates for my
• 26:23
  cat's foods. Right, right.
• 26:26
  OK. Another question, what, what do
• 26:28
  you, what kind of color would you use for recovery if a cat is
• 26:30
  in recovery of some sort of recovery of an ailment or a
• 26:33
  surgery or something like that? I, I would like what kind of
• 26:39
  surgery though, I mean, because if it's like a spay and neuter
• 26:43
  surgery, I would still go with the orange, but like if there
• 26:50
  was, you know, like a limb removed or you know, like it
• 26:56
  really depends. But just overall, you probably
• 27:01
  want to do, you probably want to do blue and I would go with a
• 27:07
  light blue just because that helps that, you know, that calm
• 27:14
  it helps with like restful sleeping also.
• 27:19
  So I would do that. Green would be another good one
• 27:26
  because that gives that soothing support.
• 27:28
  Again, I would also maybe do some yellow to kind of help
• 27:38
  boost their mood because you know who feels great after
• 27:42
  having surgery? So yeah.
• 27:47
  Nice. OK, so but I mean, I feel like
• 27:50
  self selection is kind of the key here again, too, right?
• 27:53
  Like when it happens to like better, better understanding
• 27:56
  what colors do what, but then offering not just one because
• 28:00
  all the color, because it seems like so many colors are good for
• 28:04
  the same thing, right? Like so that whole self
• 28:07
  selection piece of, you know, offer your cat.
• 28:11
  And you did, you did this with us when we reached out to you,
• 28:14
  when we said Zorro's off, There's something there's
• 28:16
  something going on with him. We're not sure what it is.
• 28:18
  And you said offer him. I think it was yellow and
• 28:21
  orange. I can't remember.
• 28:23
  Or maybe it was three colors. And so I came in the closet
• 28:26
  because that's where, you know, we have a, a a lot of different
• 28:29
  colors in our shirts. So I just like took out like a
• 28:32
  yellow shirt, an orange shirt. There was something else, one
• 28:36
  other color. And I went and I laid it down on
• 28:39
  his rug, like around the rug. And I was like, let's just let
• 28:43
  him gravitate towards whatever he needs.
• 28:46
  Yeah. And then he yeah.
• 28:48
  And he went straight for the yellow and he laid down on and
• 28:51
  stayed with it. So, so yeah, I think it's, I
• 28:55
  think, you know, it's, it's good.
• 28:56
  We don't have to all be masters at color therapy and know which,
• 28:59
  what the vibrations and the shockers and all that stuff is.
• 29:02
  We really just need to like have a general idea of of what colors
• 29:08
  match what, what parts of the body, if you will, or what moods
• 29:13
  even. And then and then be able to
• 29:16
  offer our cats a a variety of of colors so that they can choose
• 29:21
  from it. And I don't think we should just
• 29:22
  do this as a, as a when my cat is sick or when my cat is out or
• 29:28
  when my cat has a behavior issue, but all the time
• 29:31
  proactively, right? Because we can probably with
• 29:34
  that, with the vibrations of the colors, we could probably help
• 29:39
  be proactive in keeping those those shockers from going out of
• 29:43
  balance. Well, and I had.
• 29:47
  The self selection part of this, like back at the herb gardens,
• 29:50
  you can really see it with an herb garden.
• 29:52
  I know that that's for many of you guys that already have one
• 29:54
  when you lay down all those different herbs where they all
• 29:56
  come from the calm garden, right?
• 29:58
  So all of those are calming herbs in some way.
• 30:02
  But it's fascinating the need to watch how our different cats in
• 30:06
  the same garden will literally gravitate, lay on, roll in,
• 30:10
  completely eat different herbs. So it's it is that whole giving
• 30:15
  them the options and bring them. And that in itself is so
• 30:21
  relieving to cats just in general to them for the fact
• 30:25
  that they actually get to choose something.
• 30:27
  For something. Yeah.
• 30:28
  And, you know, and it's funny because color therapy goes along
• 30:32
  with the herbs, too. Like the color of the herbs.
• 30:36
  So you know when, when you're feeling, you know, a little, you
• 30:43
  know, you need a little like pick me up.
• 30:46
  Chamomile tea is good for that, right?
• 30:49
  You get some chamomile tea, it's yellow, so it's that uplifting
• 30:54
  color. So you know, lavender is purple
• 30:59
  and lavender calms and calms the mind and calms the nervous
• 31:05
  system and everything, you know, So the colors of the herbs
• 31:09
  actually is the same thing. It's, you know, it's color
• 31:13
  therapy. One more question because I
• 31:17
  think everyone probably wonders this, Taran asks.
• 31:20
  Any color that helps with inappropriate peeing and or
• 31:23
  spraying. Have you found one Snow?
• 31:25
  Yeah, that right there. So you're definitely
• 31:28
  inappropriate speaking, man. I'm telling you, the cats that I
• 31:32
  have worked with that are dealing with this, they are the
• 31:35
  biggest challenge. Like I would much rather deal
• 31:39
  with a cat like like a feral cat that somebody wants to try to
• 31:43
  tame than try to help a cat with inappropriate bathroom behaviors
• 31:48
  because there's so much behind it.
• 31:50
  But with inappropriate spraying, you definitely want to do orange
• 31:56
  for the sacral chakra because there's there's something going
• 32:00
  on there. There's a feeling, there's a
• 32:01
  pressure, and it may not be a physical pressure, it may be
• 32:06
  more of an emotional pressure, but there's a pressure.
• 32:09
  There's a need to release. So you need to give them orange,
• 32:13
  not bright orange. You want to go with adult orange
• 32:16
  because that sacral chakra is already overactive.
• 32:19
  You don't want to activate it anymore, so you want to calm it
• 32:23
  down. You want to also give it some
• 32:25
  red because red once again is that root chakra.
• 32:28
  It's the grounding, it's the feeling safe.
• 32:30
  It's feeling secure and everything.
• 32:33
  And then I would definitely go with green or pink to help with
• 32:39
  that sense of love and, you know, acceptance and everything.
• 32:44
  Oh, I like that. I like that.
• 32:46
  Yeah, we're going to go to Walmart and do the fabric
• 32:50
  section. And it's going to mean.
• 32:54
  And that's the thing, like you said with Zara, this is, I mean.
• 32:58
  We're. All we all have busy lives, but
• 33:03
  we want to do what's best for our cats.
• 33:07
  We want to help them. We want them to be happy and
• 33:10
  healthy. And this like I said, is so
• 33:13
  easy. Like you said when I told you
• 33:15
  those colors for Zorro, you went to your closet and pulled out
• 33:20
  the T-shirts. I mean, we probably already, you
• 33:23
  probably either have a blanket, a towel or a shirt and every
• 33:27
  color that you need, just just pull it out, just put it out.
• 33:32
  Just see what they, you know, which color they gravitate
• 33:35
  towards. You don't have to run to like,
• 33:38
  you know, Walmart or Joann's fabrics or whatever and like,
• 33:42
  you know, buy a bunch of fabric. You probably have it all in your
• 33:46
  house already. I think Joann's went under.
• 33:50
  I think they did too, yeah. I gotta.
• 33:53
  Say one thing that just came to mind and a shout out to the
• 33:55
  beautiful Julianne Hart, who kind of got us started on the
• 33:59
  whole, you know, herb garden thing before she.
• 34:01
  And color therapy. And color.
• 34:02
  Therapy working with her Madison years ago who was just being she
• 34:07
  was just being so scared about everything and she said she
• 34:11
  loves the color pink and she needs to be right, right on pink
• 34:16
  heart-shaped sticky notes. I am loved.
• 34:20
  I am seen, I am safe. I am loved just as I am.
• 34:23
  And she said if you can try to find her an orange or a a rose
• 34:27
  quartz. And I had just so happened to
• 34:30
  have been gifted a heart-shaped rose quartz next to Maddie and
• 34:37
  it was pink, right? Laid it next to Maddie.
• 34:40
  And she when I did that, she looked at it and she literally
• 34:44
  she was sleeping in a bean bag at the time with her little post
• 34:46
  it notes over it. She grabbed it and she pulled it
• 34:49
  in to lay on it. On her heart.
• 34:51
  Onto her heart and it was like, what is happening?
• 34:54
  We were like, wow, man, like over and over again.
• 34:58
  We're like, Oh yeah, let's let's consult the woo woo like for
• 35:01
  sure, but. It's like, it's so fascinating
• 35:07
  to watch. So like I have one of my crystal
• 35:10
  gardens is in my bedroom and I want it to be nice and calm and
• 35:16
  peaceful. I don't want cats fighting in
• 35:18
  there hissing at each other in there.
• 35:21
  So I have 4 crystals on the crystal garden and one of them
• 35:26
  is sealant night because that just kind of like it keeps the,
• 35:30
  the other crystals cleared and charged.
• 35:33
  But the other three are focused on like calming one's an
• 35:39
  amethyst, one's a pink cow site, and the other one is a blue
• 35:44
  calcite. But I have it on a pink towel
• 35:49
  because I want it to be like very a room full of love.
• 35:54
  We we, we love each other in the bedroom.
• 35:57
  We don't fight. We don't have issues where we
• 36:00
  all get along in here and the amount of times that I go in
• 36:04
  there and there's like at least 2 cats laying on the towel with
• 36:09
  the crystals, you know, I mean, it's just, you know, they're not
• 36:14
  just, I mean there's so many places that the cats can lay and
• 36:17
  that's where they chose to lay. So there's a reason they chose
• 36:22
  that. Yeah, I love that.
• 36:24
  A Perfect Whisper is that I found that adding your smell to
• 36:26
  the color therapy helps even more and helps the cats feel
• 36:29
  more calm with something that smells like you.
• 36:32
  That's another cool tip. Yeah, and I'm.
• 36:35
  Actually, I do that when I'm going out of town to, you know,
• 36:41
  all the cat conventions that I've been going to here
• 36:45
  recently. But I do that.
• 36:48
  So like for about a week leading up to when I'm going to leave, I
• 36:54
  wear things that I know I'm not going to take with me.
• 36:56
  So they have my scent on them, but they also are colors.
• 37:00
  Like they'll be like a red one, they'll be a green 1.
• 37:04
  You know, there's all these colors.
• 37:05
  And then I lay them on my bed and in other areas of the house.
• 37:10
  So that way they can go to whatever color they need.
• 37:13
  But there's my scent there also. So they have that while I'm
• 37:17
  gone. Yeah, I love.
• 37:19
  That and you recently said something, I think this was
• 37:22
  during that private Zoom call that we had where you guys
• 37:25
  surprised us with Mr. Milligan and Poppy, but you said
• 37:28
  something about brushing your cats with crystals, too.
• 37:31
  Yeah. Yeah, so like we groom our, we
• 37:37
  groom our cats. And it's so funny because my 2
• 37:39
  fluffy cats, I Bodie was my first fluffy cat and I got him
• 37:45
  in 2015. And until that point I'd only
• 37:48
  had smooth haired cats that I'd never really needed to groom or
• 37:51
  anything. So I didn't know that you needed
• 37:53
  to groom cats, like start them when they were kittens, you
• 37:56
  know. So he started getting these mats
• 37:59
  and then was like freaking out when I was trying to groom him.
• 38:03
  Hemingway is my other long haired cat and he's the same
• 38:06
  way. But I can take like a raw
• 38:10
  amethyst cluster and I can groom him with that and he will sit
• 38:17
  there and just eat it up. But I'm doing double with him.
• 38:22
  One, I'm grooming him 2 using color therapy because it's
• 38:26
  purple. So it's giving that calming of
• 38:29
  the mind and like his nervous system.
• 38:32
  And then it's an amethyst which has a whole nother set of
• 38:37
  properties and vibrational frequencies and everything like
• 38:41
  that. So I'm like, you know, double
• 38:42
  whammying him with that. So and then I have this
• 38:46
  technique that I use with my when I do my cat connections,
• 38:50
  this release let it go technique where I like remove release
• 38:55
  energy that they may be storing. And so I do that and then
• 39:02
  afterwards he's just like, he's like out like a light.
• 39:07
  So yeah. That's so cool, I would.
• 39:10
  Love it if everyone listening, everyone here tonight, everyone
• 39:13
  listening like kind of experimented with this and then
• 39:15
  give us your feedback. Let us know because I do think
• 39:18
  that this is one of those things thinking back to Madison's
• 39:21
  experience and just what a transformation she had at that
• 39:24
  time with just some like what felt like weird stuff to do,
• 39:29
  like picking sticky notes and whatever it was a lot of pink,
• 39:36
  all that stuff. It's incredible to see the
• 39:38
  transformation. So I would love for you guys all
• 39:41
  to share with us, play with this a little bit like just see what
• 39:45
  how your cats respond and, and share with us what you what you
• 39:49
  observed. Also, Laura Lee is is available
• 39:53

• 39:55
