Today was my appointment with Asia Voight, the animal communicator. Before the appointment, I was skeptical, and after the appointment, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m still skeptical, but my experience was interesting and has certainly left me wondering, and perhaps my doubts shifted part way from the communicator to my own skepticism. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have any doubts that some people have unusual abilities to communicate with animals -- sense what theyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]re feeling, understand what they want. And it stands to reason that animals would also be able to understand the communications of such a person as well. So as far as someone being able to “talk with†animals, I can buy that.

But Asia does her work over the telephone. A client sends her pictures of the animals they want to communicate with. As I understand it, Asia studies the pictures of the animals and then “calls†their spirit in a kind of telepathy (I guess) and when that animal responds to her calling, she can communicate. She does so in a kind of simple way, mostly by way of mental pictures; the words are for the benefit of the human client.

While I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t understand how she can communicate with an animal a hundred miles away with only a picture, and never having ever met that animal, there were things that were said that Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m at a loss to explain. I purposely didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t give her any information about either the cats or myself, either in my emails or over the telephone. Yet, she had my cats telling me things that only they would know, because that information isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t out there for Asia herself to discover and put in the mouths of my cats.

For example, when she started, Twinkie was the first cat to come forward and the first thing he said was that we didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have many visitors here and he wondered why because he wanted to have some visitors. Now, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m a notable loner, with no close friends and my family living out-of-state, so I seldom have people over, even counting the occasional HVAC service techs or whatever. And thereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s no way she could have known that from any information that I gave her, or any information that she could have come up with a casual research on the internet.

Another thing is that the way the cats talked, and what they talked about, pinpointed their personalities to a tee. How could she know what my cats are like? I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t even have them figured out and Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve lived with them for several years. So I have two working hypotheses: the first is that she is who she claims to be and does what she claims to do, which certainly raises some intriguing questions about how we view animals. The second is that sheâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s a very, very clever, talented, experienced and perceptive fraud who is very good at sensing what things the client will find believable. After having done this for ten years I suppose you learn people fit certain patterns whereby it doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t take much information to figure out what to say. Frankly, I think the second hypothesis is as much of a stretch as the first.

The interesting thing is that through the conversation with the cats, she got in some very, very good feline behavioral advice, and I think that even if the client doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t believe she talked to his animals, he still comes away with something positive from the experience, something that will be useful for the animals if the advice is carried through.

As far as what I wanted to communicate to Twinkie and Rocket, well, time will tell whether or not they heard me, through Asia. And in the meantime, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll try to honor my catsâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji] requests: Rocket wants a tree in the house (I hope heâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll settle for a new cat tree) and Twinkie wants to go outside more often. It was good to find they both want to keep living here, and now letâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s see if they understand what they need to do, or not to do, so they can do that.

Have you ever heard Larry King do his "psychic" act? The whole thing is predicated on probabilities, etc. Now, I'm not saying this is how this woman works, but if I had to gamble money on it, that would be my bet.

I've always been fascinated with the animal communicator thing. I want to have one "talk" with Popsie. Mainly to know how he's feeling in his old age and what I could do to make him feel better. Also to know how long he thinks he'll be with me. I know it's sounds silly but there it is.

Except what's the probability of getting it right by having Twinkie say he never gets any visitors? Anybody who works with those odds is going to be out of business real, real fast.

A couple other things she had Twinkie saying that there's no way she could have known: Twinkie said that I'm often thinking "about other places" but that I "never go away". I used to travel as part of my occupation, but I can't do that anymore. Yet I often still think about it. Twinkie said that his mouth was bothering him. Lately I've noticed it seems uncomfortable for him to have his teeth brushed and a week or so ago found a little pink on the toothbrush, so I brought him in to have the vet tech look at his teeth and she said he definitely needed a tooth cleaning. No way she could have known either.

Coincidence? Probabilities? Skillful use of non-specific language? Hmmmmm.

This is interesting! Thank you for posting about your experience. I have always wanted to talk to a animal communicator. I have a really hard time when my cats pass on and I wanted to talk with a animal communicator/psychic to get input on my rainbow bridge cats.

I should note that Asia doesn't communicate with departed pets, she can only talking to the living.

I'm fortunate that I'm friends with 3 communicators
The one I'm closest to is VERY good. I had a very unexpected response from my horse in using a saddle that I thought fit him. After 20 minutes of riding, he took off running and bucking. All I did was ask her "What was his problem today?" She replied "The saddle is poking me on the left. It hurts and I don't like it." I hadn't told her that when I took it off, the left side of his withers was dry, which indicates too much pressure in that spot. I tried another saddle and he bucked me off, but this time I already knew the problem, so I got the pad to fix it (saddle was a bit too wide and in effect felt like being kicked in the shins, but on his back, to him) and asked her "What does he think of the new saddle?" and she said "Better! Feels much better! Keep this one!" He also apologized for bucking me off, LOL! Said he didn't think I'd actually fall off.

One time my bearded dragon interrupted a communication with my cat. She was just like "OMG Louie is really mad! He said he needs something, NOW." I told her "Yeah I'm out of super worms. Tell him I'll get more tomorrow." and she said he replied "Well hurry the heck up!" Which is totally his personality. He's very grumpy and impatient. Oh, and superworms aren't his main diet, they are just a treat. He wasn't out of food, just out of superworms. But he REALLY likes them!

One more story, she was talking to a friend who was very upset, she lost her wedding ring while she was cooking. She looked EVERYWHERE for it and couldn't find it. So my friend asked the lady's dog if she knew where "Mommy's shiny thing she wears on her hand" was at. The dog said it was under the stove. The lady swore she already looked there, but my friend insisted she look again. She did, and there it was!

I fully believe in communicators, but I also know there are some crooks out there too. I think you found the real deal.

That's too bad, because I would really love to communicate with Siam. He passed on May 27th and I wonder if he's happy at the Rainbow Bridge. I sure hope so. I miss my baby boy sooooo much, more than I can stand somedays.

My ex MIL was a palm reader. She had quite the following. The thing is, I used to be there when she did "readings"....and she actually pumped people for info. Very subtly, they never even knew. It was just common, freindly conversation. She could deduce what they wanted to hear and gave that to them. She would never admit such a thing, but I saw it often enough to see what she was doing.

I think that is a very cool story. I come into contact with cats, dogs and horses during my weekly activities and I would love to know what they are thinking. For some reason, though, animals do seem to trust me, so at least there's that...

It's not hard, really. Just about anyone can do it. You just have to trust yourself. Think about it, how often do you just *know* what your animals need?

Like if one of my dogs is being obnoxious, and I'm like "OMG would you just stop it!" and then I think "I bet you need to go potty." You see, none of my dogs are normal, they don't just go to the door- they just expect me to know, and pee on the floor if I don't let them out when they need to go. Anyways, if I realize they need to go potty, and mention it, they will go to the door, I let them out to potty, and then when they come back in, whoever was being obnoxious will stop bugging me.

Sometimes I'll go to the barn with the plan of giving my horse a long grooming session, but when I get there, instead I'll feel like he'd really rather go for a ride, or he'd rather spend some time grazing (he's on pasture but the grass is sparse, so I take him in the yard to graze). Sometimes he's up for the grooming though. Sometimes I feel like he's worried about when the next time he'll see me is (I live nearly an hour from the barn, and try to go every other day, but sometimes it's every 2 days), so I try to talk to him a lot and let him know when I'll see him next. He seems more relaxed then. I've only had him 3 months but we're really bonded and he seems to enjoy it when I come to visit him.

My friends that communicate all say that anyone can do it if they believe it. You just have to trust that it's not just your imagination. Not all animals believe in communication, either. I used to work at a pet store for a guy who was a communicator. I took my rats with me to work, he loved talking to Sophie, said she was such a little character and soooo funny. But one day I took my other rat as well, Silvia. He knew I brought a different one without even seeing her, said she was complaining about everything- the cage, going in the car, being there stuck with Sophie. He tried to talk to her, and she told him to leave her alone. Said that people can't talk to animals. He said "Well what do you think I'm doing now?" and she told him to "Shut up" and wouldn't have anything more to do with him! Another friend has a horse who did the same thing.

FWIW, I did get a loud and clear communication one day. My cat Gizmo isn't exactly the nicest animal I've ever been around. She will lay you open in the blink of an eye. Especially in her younger days, I think she lived to draw blood on humans! Anyways, when I learned about how good wet food is for cats, I bought some, and she wouldn't even taste it. I told her "You can't say you don't like it if you don't try it!" and I got some gravy on my finger, pried her mouth open, and wiped it on her tongue. I'm not kidding when I say that I heard, as loud and clear as if someone stood in my living room and spoke it "IF YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN I WILL GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT." Yes that scared the living daylights out of me, I've always suspected that she'd do such a thing. I won that one though, she does love wet food! Although I think she almost suceeded in killing me a few weeks ago, she finally managed to make me fall down the stairs. Went down a flight of 12 stairs on my back, after stepping on her tail (I was carrying laundry) and losing my balance! I swear that cat wants me dead! LOL!

LOL ONE MORE (I love talking about this stuff!). We had a cat, Jade, left from a litter of orphan kittens I raised. She is Trevor's sister. We always said that Jade just wanted to be petted and told she's pretty. Well I took her to the spay/neuter clinic, and when I went to pick her up, the lady there said "Oh we just love Jade! She just wants to be petted and told she's pretty!" They DO have ways of letting us know this stuff! BTW, I finally got Jade adopted, she went to a friend of mine where she is totally blossoming. I saw her a couple weeks ago, and she's gained some weight (I always felt she was a tad too thin but couldn't get her to gain) and is totally in love with her new Mom.

There's no place like home
A friend of mine had a similar experience with a communicator. My friend is the total skeptic and made a point of not saying a word to the woman as to give anything away. She hit the nail on the head for a few things and the rest could have been generalized stuff. The dead on stuff: Mojo is terrified of girl cats. I fostered him while a baby and my Scarlett tagged him on his face so bad that it left scars for 4 years. He's not lived with a female cat since. The other cats don't understand him. He's deaf and his playmates still haven't figured him out entirely after living together for 4 years. His skin bothers him and he doesn't know why. He'd been to the vet a few times for the problem and after the communicator, my friend got very aggressive in getting his condition diagnosed. His personality improved after they got him treated successfully.

It's a bit out there, but could happen.

This is fascinating Tim.


It must have taken a mix of curiosity and a bit of courage for you to step outside of our culture's accepted communication boundaries, to explore a different way of enhancing your relationship with Twinkie and Rocket.

Whether Asia was communicating directly with your cats or simply using you as a conduit to understand their current needs...
she gave you some interesting and useful feedback.

It's all good Tim.
Rocket will soon be enjoying his new cat tree.
Twinkie will have more outdoor time, with you by his side to be sure he is safe.
As far as I can see, Asia did her job.


Rocket and Twinkie are two very lucky kitties.

Over the river and through the woods...
The mind is still a mystery, so it doesn't surprise me that some people are born with the gift of understanding animals so clearly. I just wish I could. Can I ask where you found her, and how much it cost for the session? You can PM me if you don't want to put it in the forum.

I would love to know some things about my babies. For instance, is Brooke happy here. She was a stray that was taken to our vet. Sometimes she seems very depressed and gets a look in her eyes like she is remembering something. I would like to know why Little One hates all the other cats. So many questions!

In a state of misery w/o my Bella
I have been talking to a communicator since my
Bella
got sick in May of 2006, she was right on with everything
She has been such a big help to me. One time she called me and she was all stuffy sounding and I said are you sick, she said no I just had a session with a horse who keeps getting upper repsiratory infections, (I think thats what it was, maybe a cold, I forget) but she said it should go away soon, so she actually took on the horses ailment at the time
She has called when my cats have an upset stomach, and says she's sick to her stomach.

That is great. I've always been skeptical about those things. I have never 'known' anyone that has had one of those done themselves. Quite interesting the experience you had.

I've seen that one pet communicator lady on tv... it all sounded good... but again she was on tv... for all I knew it could have all been rehersed.

I certianly know that Animals CAN read you, I know when we first moved into our new house, our basement is finished, but there is an opening covered by just a curtian, from the finished part to the crawlspace that opens to the ceiling & walls and ductwork of the basement & for all I know walls of the house. So when the kids go down into the playroom in the basement they need to close the door so the cats do not go down there, as I am afraid they will wander up in that ductwork/walls/ceiling, get stuck/lost etc... they make a habit of it now, but when we first moved in had to be constantly reminded... once it was left open... I 'freaked'! I shut the door and we did a Cat Count... I COULD not find YUKI... Like a Crazy Woman I'm climbing into the Crawl Space craming my head into the ductwork and ceiling part with a flashlight calling her name, crying.... all the while thinking OMG... she fell in the walls... my POOOR kitty... I go upstairs & wander ROOM to ROOM crying and calling her name... While going room to room... Horatio and Max are right by my feet Following me... They KNEW I was upset & looking for something... or just knew I was trying to find Yuki & were looking with me & I was worried about her, THEY are the ones that found her, as when I got in my room, they jumped on my bed, I had moved the covers and continued my search... THEY crawled under, I moved it to look at them... THERE she was.


They always get on my lap and surround me when I am upset or down... gotta love animals.


Boy now I want to contact one of those communicators

I've had readings over the phone, email, text message, instant messenger. Once a communicator has talked to a particular animal before, they can usually connect any time. My friend talks to my horse about once a week. We've got a good relationship, but I'm not as in tune to him as I am the rest of my animals yet. The story I told about him liking his new saddle/pad, that was through text message. When I was looking for a horse, I had her talk to the horses I was looking at before going to see any. I needed a nice horse with a good mind, that liked kids. When she talked to this horse, I was SURE he was the right one, as was my friend. So she told him I was coming to see him, and to be a good boy. Then before I came back with the horse trailer, she told him that he was going to live with me, asked if it was ok, and answered his questions (he wanted to know if he'd have a pasture, other horses to play with, and if he'd be ridden a lot).

I have never really used a "professional" communicator that charges, just people I know who are practicing. The one time I did meet a professional, it was at a Humane Society fundraiser. I was the last person of the day, and we talked at length. It ended up being a very emotional reading. I asked him about my dear sweet dog that I'd had to give up during a really rough time of my life. She'd died about 6 months later. I WANTED her to come back, I was SURE she'd come back as another dog I had gotten (who has since passed away). It was obvious in how I asked him that I really WANTED my dog to have come back. But he told me she didn't, and it really upset me. But then, he told me "She likes it better in spirit form. She can help you with your outreach better from there." I asked him what he was talking about, and he said "Animals come to you in strange ways. She guides them to you because she knows you can help them." It's very true, I could talk ALL DAY about the just weird things that have happened to me involving me getting animals that need my help. I've had a jar of goldfish show up on my front steps, and a whole clutch of baby wood ducks fell out of the tree in front of my house, even though we'd never seen the mother duck before. The list goes ON AND ON about this kind of stuff.

Sure, she has a website. I'm not entirely sure whether I'm allowed to post it and I'm short on time so don't want to browse through the rules right. But I'll take a chance and post it because other people might like to know it, too. If it's removed, anybody just pm me and I'll send it. Her fees are posted on the site:

I think that it is within site rules to post it Tim...
I want to take a look too.
Thanks for sharing it.
