Case 2: Rapid Animal Bonding
Growing up I've had various pets. The first, the family dog which I think may have been a Shih Tzu hardly ever listened to anyone with one notable exception. Of course perhaps the reason for this is that out of all of the family, I was the one who spent the most time with the dog and I opted to use encouragements. Sure he did get very excited and would sometimes scratch the others in his excitement but that never happened to me. For some of you pet owners you may be aware that out pets can click naturally well with some of us and less some with others. From being exposed to each other it only took me about 3 days for the dog to bond with me but considering we're talking about a dog, this isn't too surprising or at least I don't think that it is. Unfortunately as some of you may be aware, having a pet that only likes or listens to one family member is not great for a family pet and thus we were forced to give him away which we did to one of my parent's employees. A couple of months later I would learn he had been neutered which means all the time he was a family pet he had never been neutered and still he pretty much only listened to me. To note this isn't unprecedented among unaltered pets in particular with dogs. Perhaps I had interacted with him during his formative years and perhaps he saw me as a leader of sorts which may have explained my ease with him compared to the rest of the family.
The second pet or rather my actual first that wasn't a family pet was an intact female rat whom I purchased from the pet store. Prior to getting my pet rat I had done research on what to feed them, handling them so that get used to humans, bedding, ideals for toys, socialization among other things so I wasn't going in blind. From the start I handled her everyday and rather than being skittish she was rather accepting. Of course I never got groomed by her and perhaps it would be more accurate to say she was more indifferent to being handled if anything else. Well she did urinate on me a couple of times but I'd say that's likely because I had no ideal how to tell when rats need to go to the restroom. Anyways it only took me 3 days for my rat to effectively fully bond with me. She lived to be 2 years which is pretty normal for a rat, like even if you do everything right, rats aren't known to live that long. Speaking of my rat-
I'd like to share that one time during the night she had chewed her way out of her old home (I don't let her sleep with me because I didn't want to roll over and accidentally crush her), climbed her way upstairs to my parents' bedroom, woke up the one who usually feeds her grains and after being brought back downstairs into the secondary home which was being prepared for her and of course being fed just stayed there with the door opened. When I awoke the next day I had assumed she had made her way to the secondary home but when I learned the truth I was even more amazed. She had never been to the 2nd floor, only staying on the first but of course rats are known to be excellent navigators so it wasn't too surprising that she would learn how to make her way to my parents. What was more amazing however is that she did not pee nor poop or chew any of the wires laying around and that after being fed, she just stayed inside of her 2nd home even though she had never been placed in there before. Talk about restraint! I'd say my rat must've been pretty smart.
My 3rd and most recently pet I got was a rabbit. Like with my rat I had done my research on their dietary needs, socialization, how to do a basic health checkup on them, etc. I had all sorts of cases of how rabbits are not low maintenance but rather high maintenance and that they are really challenging...
What a joke or maybe I just got lucky. As with my rat, my rabbit, an intact male rabbit who only took 3 days after being bought to fully bond with me. He was young at the time, about 8 weeks old and I pretty much had him initially sleep with me before being required to move him elsewhere for my own sleep. Now what was really amazing however is that for the 2.5 years that I had him he had never once demonstrated any of the behaviours you'd expect of an intact male rabbit. Zilch. No spraying, grunting, aggression or fear (in fact he would even insist on grooming me at times). You think I found him to be high maintenance, no. He was pretty much low maintenance. I had initially treated him like a cat however given that he bonded with me in just 3 days it would seem I would need to alter my approach which I did.
Looking back at these 3 cases I honestly can't tell whether they are sufficiently explained by nonsupernatural means or not. I mean, I did do my homework and even with the family dog where that wasn't the case I was the one who spend the most time with them. Still 3 days and across multiple species especially prey animals is something to take notice but if there is a psi effect my guess is that it appears to be restricted only to bonding speed and possibly affect. I suppose in addition to skill I may have just gotten lucky but then again it is interesting. As with case 1 let us examine the anomalous hypotheses.
1. Empathic Resonance
2. Karmic/Soul Level familiarity
3. Telepathic Rapport
Of these 3 options I'd say only the first has any merit. As I've stated before, I do not recall any past lives and if there is some karma going on, then it's curious as to how I have no problem with hunting and consuming meat. As for telepathic rapport, I do not hear mental voices, or if I do, then I clearly don't recognize it. Of course some of you may notice what I just said technically relates to mindreading, not telepathy but rather than projecting thoughts perhaps it would be more accurate to say something else may be happening. If there is something anomalous going on then perhaps I am emitting a sort of emotional altering field on animals that effectively calms them down and encourages loyalty in them.
Again my conclusion for this case is that I am uncertain whether a psi effect may be present or not but assuming that there is one, it's probably restricted to a charming effect. Who knows.
Oh and if anyone's curious, my mini rex was free roam ever since the day I bought him.
