Hi,
I began massaging our cat a couple of months back. This is an older cat (10+) who was somewhat shy, not aggressive or mean, but 'distant'.
Since that time, she's been totally hooked on deep bodywork; she loves it. She comes for her "session" at least twice per day; has had some amazing personality changes, and looks totally stoned after a treatment.
for fun, I'm thinking of doing a YouTube video on working with her. It's very cool how much she's opened up to touch; how her trust level has changed... etc. I think there's a lot of lessons to learn from animals ... once you work up the trust bit for them - takes patience - they respond amazingly.
I had never worked on animals before (well, once, did some cranial work on another cat, 15 years ago), but I have to say, I'm blown away by the openness and soul of these creatures.
