If only they could talk: the psychics who know what your pet is thinking
The Guardian ^ | Tue 20 Nov 2018 10.36 EST | Arwa Mahdawi

Shira Plotzker did not set out to become a pet psychic. It just sort of happened. She was sitting at home in Nyack, New York, watching the animal communicator Sonya Fitzpatrick on TV.

Suddenly, the dog that was talking to Fitzpatrick started talking to her. “He told me he thought it was a lot of fun to be on TV! And he was very proud of himself for doing so good.”

Realizing she had abruptly developed the ability to communicate with animals, Plotzker expanded her existing psychic business to cater to pets.

Fifteen or so years later, business is booming, Plotzker tells me. Dogs and cats make up the bulk of her clientele, but she’s spoken to snakes, horses, wolves and the elephants at Tampa zoo. She was also invited to speak to some police dogs, but, she says, the police aren’t allowed to endorse her.

She charges $100 for a half-hour session and has no shortage of customers. People seek her help to find lost animals, fix behavioural problems, diagnose illnesses, and communicate with pets who have passed away. (Yes, she also speaks to dead animals.)

My dogs know when I am supposed to be home from work. If perchance I am not on time they become very agitated and run from door to door looking for me.

One of the cats just jumped on the desk and is staring at me. Treats! Give me treats!

My dog is a Malinois. If it’s someone she doesn’t know, she’s thinking about how much fun it would be to latch onto his arm.

I can communicate with the fleas on your dog. For $100 an hour I’ll tell them to find another dog.

Go away
But feed me
Where did you go
What was that sound
Let me outside
I want in
Where did you go just now

Our 2 Girls sit on the couch in the office looking out the window waiting for the Truck to turn the corner.

Sometimes We come in from the other direction just to sneak up on them.

My dog thinks eleven things and I can read his mind always: play, walk, chase, I wanna bark, stare, eat, piss, poop, sleep, uh-oh I'm guilty, and yes, scratch me.

Omg. One of my past best friends does this. She makes a fortune. She is even worse than just sensing a current pet’s feelings. She will speak for the deceased pet from the beyond. Just bring a photo of the dead pet. She travels the world and makes a ton of money.

I can’t roll my eyes back into my head far enough. She never had “these gifts” when we were buddies. Nice scam.

If psychics were worth a dime they’d hit the lottery every time, never lose at blackjack and never catch a red light.

It's usually not good if a dog starts talking to you.
