A beautiful cat that has two kitten & comes to a cafe I sometimes go had an accident last week. The radiography showed three fractures in hip bone beside other injuries. She had a surgery two days ago. Her general condition is good now, however it takes time for her to make full recovery; plus, her chance of regaining her walking ability is 80%.

I asked: Will the cat be able to walk again? 13.1.4.6>39
Yes, but she'll limp- & she'll lose her trust in others and take distance.

A sad answer for the lovely, strong cat she is.

I then asked: How will she feel about new living conditions? 2.3>15
She'll be able to enjoy the life's beauties again. Despite less than perfect conditions, she'll live a full life. In other words, she'll accept (2) the new situation modestly (15) & continue her life.
The animals are instinctive & live in now despite us, so they don't suffer by comparing the present with the past.

What do you think?

I think you tend to see the most gloomy picture in every reading you cast :cautious: You seem to take answers as pronouncements of misfortune that is unavoidable even when the cast okay.

How is it a sad answer, an answer that dooms her to lose trust ? Where do you think it talks about loss of trust ? To me the 13 describes the support and help of the community around her. This cat is held and nurtured by the community in the cafe and so on. I also think it's do with the cat's boundaries. In line 1 at the gate, in line 4 holding to the boundaries and in line 6 just outside in the outskirts....and none of these lines scream doom and gloom. I think it shows the cat coping well but perhaps within more human boundaries. Perhaps staying nearer the cafe or wherever she spends time with people - not going too far away. Not sure where the accident was but hopefully she won't be revisiting there.

I think acceptance is in this answer yes and of course unlike us animals are not plagued by thoughts of what might have been , they live in the present. Also I wonder if the cat sees herself as in service, like she works at the café ? I've heard from those who can talk to animals that some animals really do have a strong sense of service, of what they perceive as their 'job'. If her job is patrolling the café to keep away mice then it is good if she feels she can still do that. However she cannot expect an official position 😼

I also wonder if some of the answer is for you. It might be saying not to project onto her too much, just do what you can, even if it is just a little stroke on th ehead.

We used to get 1000s of questions on how 'he' feels but now we have had several with how a cat feels 😺

Just to add lines 1 and 6 change making me feel this limping (39) is very much held by the community of people around her (13). So I'm not just looking at each line separately but the whole picture.

Cats have strict boundaries/territories in outdoor space and maybe this accident changes her boundaries somewhat but in a way that's okay. I even feel she holds her previous boundaries well. To me, line 4 especially, 'striding the ramparts' looks like a cat defending territory. I don't think she's lost territory but I do think there's a human factor too in the 13.


I have seen dogs and cats recover amazingly after the most awful injuries so hopefully she'll recover well.

Well, Trojina, maybe I'm not in my most positive mood these days.
However hexagram 39 sounded litteral while asking if a cat could walk. 13.4 talks about taking measures so that one isn't attacked- I read it as being defensive instead of trusting.

I wonder if 2.3 could mean she can have a good life but that she should be neutered? Seek not works...

One is limping in 39 which is still walking but with a limp. The relating hexagram is what the question is about, where it's coming from, context -so it's where she is now.

13.4 from Hilary in Wiki

'Climbed to the top of your city walls,
No-one is capable of attack.
Good fortune.'

That's a pretty good line, firm boundaries, so that nothing can hurt. it also says 'good fortune' which cannot be ignored. if it says 'good fortune' it does not mean 'this is bad'.

Line 1's augury is 'not a mistake' and line 6's augury is 'no regrets'. So you have had 'good fortune' 'not a mistake' and 'no regrets' yet still see it as a 'sad' reading ?

Also it doesn't serve any purpose to make a prediction of non recovery does it ? At least not on the basis of this cast.

There is limping in 39 only meaning another route is better, difficulty, it's not a prediction that she won't be able to walk.

I think our relationship to animals is changing and it’s no where more obvious than in our relationship to cats. They were once venerated as being the wisest of species but they became proud and aloof. Or man did. Anyway, communication broke down. Cats love humans and the way they show their love is by the services they offer. Sadly, humans accepted the services but did not recognize the love. Now we are going through an awakening to recognizing the animals love us. I think if people make a special effort to show the cat love during this healing process (like a pat on the head as Trogina suggests) the love connection will be greatly strengthened and we’ll see an example of healing power of love.

I’m seeing a pattern in the lines of Before, During, and After.
13.1 Before the accident, the cat being rather neutral to all around her.
13.4 During the healing process, seeing who her friends are? Maybe somewhat aloof to protect healing bones?(so no squeezing hugs!)
13.6 Taking the this experience of restored love out into the world?

39. The (slight) limp attracts attention to her but also allows her to radiate her love. When people feel love they turn towards it., which is why people love to stroke cats and as people love animals more they desire to kill less.

Hex 13 is one of the best omens when asking for the well being of animals !
It is very much about roaming in nature (holds also true for their fur-less friends) and having the free space they need. In this case under the limiting circumstances of hex 39.

Animals do not suffer from self pity. Nor do they waste time with indignation. They work within their means and forget about the rest. They ‚do or do not‘.
Reminds me of 2.3.- 15

Am very late to this thread, but I agree she should definitely be neutered. It's hard on cats to have litter after litter (they can have 3 a year, I've been told), but probably especially hard for a cat who's had these sorts of injuries. Both pregnancy and birth would be hard on her hip bones / pelvic area, I'm sure.

I hope she'll be okay. Thank goodness people are taking care of her. ❤

Friends,
The cat is going well; a good amount of money has been raised for her treatment and the cafe owner visits her everyday in the hospital. We're waiting to see if she needs another surgery.
I think it shows the cat coping well but perhaps within more human boundaries. Perhaps staying nearer the cafe or wherever she spends time with people - not going too far away. Not sure where the accident was but hopefully she won't be revisiting there.
She lives near the cafe and the accident took place there. She had the chance to be seen by a client who informed people inside the cafe & they found her.
We used to get 1000s of questions on how 'he' feels but now we have had several with how a cat feels 😺
:LOL:😹 Times have changed...

The cat lovers recommended it also.

Update: the cat underwent several surgeries; had her tail amputated because its nerves had no reaction anymore and the pet estimated it dangerous for her health; is neutered and ready to be put up for adoption.
There has been no news about the cat being disabled, so she hopefully can walk.

Now: "Will the cat be able to walk again? 13.1.4.6>39"- Yes, however she'll live in a closed space(13.4), unlike before, with people who look after her (13.1 and 13.6); and with some "limping" (39) which is her lost tail if not more.
