> > [@Midnightmagic](#): > > So precious, what is her name? You will laugh, but there is a history behind the name…. ‘Fuzzy’ There was talk of me renaming her _Chatnoir_ (the ‘t’ is silent) this morning… but I wasn’t allowed to. ---

> [@Midnightmagic](#): > > Miraculous Ladybug and Chatnoir No oddly. My wife grew up in Europe from a very early age, speaking French as her second language before learning English. We call Fuzzy ‘neko chan’ a lot, and ‘Chatnoir’ sounded better than calling her ‘black cat’ 😂 Our cat has a lot of names. Long story short - Fuzzy looks identical to a cat that bore the name Fuzzy, so technically our cat is Fuzzy the 2nd. ---

Great topic! I will ask my Familiar tomorrow night just how much I can share. My familiar is a Fae, and as Shaman, my entire connection to the Spirit World. ---

Oooo, Im especailly attached to artic foxes, crows, owls and wolves. Though Im not sure if I have any as in my most recent post, artic fox is the one that stayed most in my childhood imaginations. If we were to go off most often seen, it would be crows that I see most from a young age till now. I had a dream about a black panther cub but that was Loki playing a little mischief. But hey! I love to know more! ---

Let us know how it goes! It may take a few tries. Like I said in the other one, they may refuse until they’ve determined that you’re “ready.” > [@elhombrebruja](#): > > ps I hope it isn’t a cat, I dont do cats, 😂 LOL luckily they usually take that into consideration when they choose the best form to present themselves in. Cats are (unsurprisingly) common, yes… but many don’t have them. Mine is a wolf. 🐺 Cheers. 🔔 ---

You’d think that since I have one, that I’d have some useful advice about getting one. I don’t. I don’t recommend how I did get mine, the Ego Death that called Her to help me. ---

I’m having trouble figuring out if I have a familiar, much less an animal guide. You see, I have always been good with animals and was a LVT for years with normal and exotic pets. Volunteered at a bird sanctuary and now pet sit for anything- not kidding, exotic to farm animal. I’m kinda drawn to EVERYTHING and can’t narrow down if fine tune it. Any ideas to help figure it out? ---

> [@Gytha](#): > > Any ideas to help figure it out? Does a particular of animal/bird appear in dreams or pop up in weird places all of the time? (By weird places I mean you see the same creature when you open a book, a web page, in commercials etc) If you notice one, then focus on what it is, and it just might be your animal guide. ---

Volunteered at a bird sanctuary and now pet sit for anything- not kidding, exotic to farm animal. I’m kinda drawn to EVERYTHING and can’t narrow down if fine tune it. Any ideas to help figure it out? First of all, Welcome to the forum! I had to cast the Google spell on LVT, (vet) that’s neat! Myself I had Horse as a Spirit Guide for about two decades. Might still be there, I’ll see this spring when I start volunteering at an Equine shelter. I got Horse when to deal with my Autism I became involved in [Equine assisted therapy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine-assisted_therapy_on_autistic_people). Both as a patient and a volunteer. Eventually bought my own tiny Equine ranch (hobby farm) complete with one very special mare. Got donkeys to keep her company (Herd mentality). So, I recommend to think back to what got you into animals in the beginning. Perhaps was one specific animal? Now, a Familiar does not need to be an animal, mine isn’t, but a Familiar may take the form of one. Mine is not Horse, that was a Spirit Guide. They can be related, and one can help you find the other, I’m pretty sure my Familiar sent Horse because of my need. ---

Welcome Gytha! Oh dear. I can see why that would make things difficult! I could also see where this might affect discerning your dreams difficult too (as I imagine you also have a wide variety of animal dreams.) In your case I suggest getting a reading done by either a tarot reader or a shaman. If there are none near you there are _many_ on Etsy. That sounds like amazing work, btw! (And I love your user photo. 🙏 ) Cheers. 🐺 ---

It generally means you are a kid or have kids. 🙂 There are many approaches to dreams and their meanings. Physics essentially says that the body needs rest, but the brain needs to stay active. When you are awake the brain processes neurologic input and makes its best guess as to what you may be experiencing. When you are asleep the brain just makes crap up to stay active, based on thoughts you had while you were awake. Some in my social circle hate it when I say things like this - even though it’s true. You may want to research lucid dreaming.
