The Barnes & Noble ReviewWhen Amelia Kinkade, an animal lover and unemployed actress, took her cat, Rodney, to an animal psychic for help with some behavioral problems, she was amazed with the results. Her own intuitive talents surfaced at an animal communication workshop shortly thereafter. Now listed among the 100 top psychics in America, Kinkade has made believers out of people like Dr. Bernie Siegel and the well-known vet Allen M. Schoen, author of Kindred Spirits. Kinkade firmly believes that 100 years from now telepathy will be considered no more exciting than eating with a fork: It is a learned skill, and a skill worth learning. Here she shares exercises, meditations, and guidance for communicating nonverbally with animals, a skill she has used to find missing animals, help diagnose health or behavioral problems, or just enjoy a good conversation at the zoo!Even if you're skeptical about the possibility of animal telepathy, you'll find plenty of great animal stories to enjoy -- the Afghan hound with an itch, the iguana who stopped eating, the horse who wouldn't go to the farthest side of the ring, and the reappearance of her own cat, Rodney. You also may want to pay attention to Kinkade's firm conviction that animals can tell time and that every animal needs to know the amount of time he or she will need to wait for you.
