"Miscellaneous Information"

Most of our articles are written by Miki. I guess you could call Cat the 'silent' partner in this endeavor. If you have ever sat down and tried to hold a prolonged conversation with your cat then you know they are not very talkative (unlike dogs who will stare at you for hours and pretend they are listening). Please feel free to email Cat if you have any need for info on Psychic Counseling, Reiki Healing, Chakras or Auras or just for the heck of it. :)
