Dear Friend,
When we first start remembering/learning Animal Communication, we tend to receive in the easiest way that our Consciousness is open to receiving.
For me it was pictures, feelings, and words, but over time the forms in which I received expanded greatly. Now I also receive bodily sensations, tastes, smells, and in several other ways.
I've had students who, at first, would see slide shows, cartoons, and videos. These can be challenging to interpret into a clear message when first learning Animal Communication.
I've had students who receive a word or two in the beginning, and only over time and with practice does their auditory receptivity expand into phrases and then sentences.
Some people experience emotions as their primary way to receive telepathically.
My equine teacher, Echo, shown in the above photo, told me once that the sending and receiving forms do not have to match. For example, she could send me a picture, and I might receive words or feelings. It would depend on how my consciousness processed the incoming energy of her message.
Cathy's experience, described in "The Cat Who Spells", is the first time I've ever heard of an animal sending a "written" message. I truly don't know whether MaMah was spelling out words or whether Cathy's mind, in the dream state, chose this form as the best one for Cathy to receive the message. After all, it came as quite a surprise and woke her up quickly, which MaMah confirmed was her intention.
Of course, we can ask MaMah, "How were you sending the message I'M HUNGRY to Cathy while she was asleep?"
I encourage Cathy to ask MaMah this question herself as a way of expanding her own telepathic abilities - practicing by asking the animal for more information.
If you are starting to remember your natural telepathic abilities and/or are taking classes in Animal Communication, don't insist that you must receive telepathically in a particular form.
Instead, be "open to possibilities" about the ways in which you receive, and you'll experience greater success much faster and have more fun-filled experiences.
