Bandit Burmilla Babies: Intimate Conversations with a Family of Cats on Love, Pregancy, Birth, Death and Separation.

By Ingrid J Collins and Kathryn Ronayne

How would you feel if, when talking to your pets, you could listen to their reply? Here is a record of conversations between the authors—both of whom were trained by the celebrated animal telepath Amelia Kinkade—and their friends of other species that developed into a miraculous narrative of birth and rearing of kittens in a family of cats. Hilarious in parts and at times heart-searingly sad, you may be encouraged by the end of this book to tune in and listen to animals for yourself.

“I have learned from my experience that consciousness is non-local and that through it we can communicate with our deeper wisdom with other living things. This book demonstrates how this can happen, how close the emotional life of our beloved animals is to our own, and how wise these beautiful creatures can be who share our planet.”

— Bernie Siegel, MD; bestselling author of Faith, Hope & Healing
and A Book of Miracles

“This is such a unique and entertaining insight into the private life of animals that it would be a crime not to read it for yourself!”

— Brigid Gordon, CEO, Partners in Crime Books; animal lover

“This is an invitation with the permission of the cats themselves to journey into the magical world of animal communication—a rare opportunity!”

— Maria Grachvogel, couturiere; cat owner

Both are Consultant Soul Therapists, Registered Spiritual Healers. Because Kathryn is a particularly gifted telepath with a very pure link to her animal clients, her colleague and friend Ingrid suggested that they enter into a conversation with Tui and her son, Magic, the cats who live with her and her husband Nick, an architect, at a time when Tui was about to give birth to her final litter of kittens. In this book Ingrid & Kathryn explain how to conduct the fascinating method of interspecies communication as well as describing the process as the beautiful commentary unfolds. The photos are mainly by Mia Sampietro, also a professional animal communicator, who met Ingrid when, in her role as TV director, she and her crew were filming Ingrid at work in her clinic for a television documentary about the consultants who work in Harley Street, the London location which is the centre of excellence in healthcare, where Ingrid’s rooms in The London Medical Centre are situated. Ingrid, who appears frequently on TV, radio and in the national press, is on the Media Panel of the British Psychological Society and is the author of two books: “A Year of Spirituality: a seasonal guide to new awareness,” publ.

Creative Space, 2013, ISBN-10: 1482521156 & ISBN-13: 978 1482521153 Kathryn has published many papers and articles, features in Amelia Kinkade’s book, “The Language of Miracles: a celebrated psychic teaches you to talk to animals,” publ. New World Library, USA, 2006, ISBN: 1-57731-510-3, and is herself at present also writing an illustrated storybook for children. Kathryn and Ingrid share a profound love of animals and a special affinity with cats. However, whereas Ingrid and Nick have never lived with more than two at any given time, Kathryn and her husband Rick, who are both Art Historians and Qualitative Market Researchers, have at one stage shared their home with five magnificent feline companions and, at the time of writing, are reduced to only three: Sophia, Elia and Seline. Kathryn and Ingrid and their husbands live very close to each other in north London, in the green and leafy suburbs of East Finchley and Muswell Hill respectively, and regularly transform their large and comfortable homes into classrooms and clinic spaces to accommodate their students as they teach and guide them toward their qualifications as Soul Therapy Practitioners and professionally registered Spiritual Healers.

Ingrid’s Introduction

Interspecies communication is not just for the likes of fictional Dr Dolittles. Nowadays, thanks to some brilliant teachers, the arts of telepathy and remote viewing are being shared and embraced by a growing population of delighted, receptive students. On occasions I had heard about some people who have developed the gift of communicating with animals, and realised with growing excitement that many of us have the sensitivity to develop this skill for ourselves. It was with this in mind that, in the spring of 2003, I went to a conference about The Zero Point Field, the dimension of subtle energy in which all life exists and is connected, one life form to another. Cutting edge scientists (like Professors William Tiller, Gary Schwartz and Hal Puthoff) presented papers on telepathy, or the imprinting physical matter with effective energy of intentions, or the way the earth’s magnetic vibrations alter before a cataclismic event, and are proving the existence of these and related processes in their laboratories worldwide.

Workshops at the conference were fascinating, too: the power of prayer; the skill of remote viewing (as taken up by some military intelligence services – KGB, CIA - in the past as an inexpensive and undetectable method of spying on each other’s countries). But for me the greatest revelation was the workshop given by a gifted American woman called Amelia Kinkade. This pretty young woman with an orchid in her hair, a great sense of humour and a quiet voice, gently lead us into the realisation of how simple it is to be with animals and experience their world. Simple, but it is not always comfortable. As she explained in her book Straight From The Horses Mouth, sometimes the awareness of the animal’s world, lovingly and honestly offered by them to us in their words, pure feelings or visual images, is very painful to accept. By the end of our time with her, I was able to ask a seal-point siamese cat some basic questions - what is your favourite food?; which other cat do you love?; which human, apart from your special human friend, do you love? - and receiving words and images from the cat, which her human friend validated as correct. It was a thrilling experience.

One of our advanced year students at that time was a delightful woman called Kathryn Ronayne – who later became my co-Director at The Soul Therapy Centre and very popular with our students - was also intrigued and drawn to study with Amelia. She went on her intensive course a couple of weeks later, at the end of which she was talking with cats, dogs, horses and all manner of other animals, and having the answers validated by their humans. She had an obvious gift in this area and, as we both found this aspect of telepathy fascinating, we decided to continue to learn in depth from Amelia. We further honed our telepathic skills by taking the opportunity to study remote viewing with Major Paul Smith, who trained the CIA’s psychic spies on the Star Gate program - once highly classified but now this information is accessible in the public domain.

My husband, Nick, and I lived with two heart-stoppingly pretty, chocolate-shaded silver Burmilla cats called Tui (which means The Joyous One) and her son Magic. They were as affectionately and passionately demonstrative of their connection to us humans as they are dangerous to the local small and not-so-small wildlife out in the garden. We spoke and miaowed frequently to each other, as all people-cat partnerships do, but very rarely did we really feel certain that we are receiving exactly what they are trying patiently to tell us. At the start of this book, Tui had been to her stud, Shenu, and was pregnant with his kittens.

Nick and I had taken Magic a couple of years previously to an animal communicator called Ann Wilson, who lives in Wimbledon in South London. This was when his mother, Tui, was expecting her third litter of kittens and was getting very tetchy, often screaming and hissing at poor little Magic, having previously been a warm and playful mother to him. Ann explained that he was going to have to be patient and good over the next few weeks. What’s ‘good’? asked Magic. Ann described the behaviour that was needed, for example, not ambushing Tui, not jumping on her from a great height, and so on, because she was anxious to protect the kittens she was expecting to have soon.

Why does she need more kittens? asked our beautiful little adolescent tomcat. She has me.

We explained through Ann that as he was such a lovely big boy, Tui needed him to help her to look after them, to keep them safe and to teach them how to play, how to use the litter tray, and do all sorts of kitteny things so that when they were ready to go to their new homes they would be perfectly behaved and wise little kittens. New homes? Magic thought this was a splendid idea.

Magic had indeed lived up to his promise and became a super helper for Tui with the five lively little souls that she brought into the world.

Amelia had cautioned us that we needed to let our animals know when we were going to be away, and for how long. Animals often become anxious because they fear abandonment. Nick and I were going to spend a long weekend in Vienna a couple of weeks before the kittens were expected, so I spent a lot of time with Tui, psychically giving her the information in small, easily sendable bits. I told her we were going away to another place from Thursday to Monday, and that we would be back in plenty of time for her before she had the kittens. I would be there for her as always when she was kittening. My mother, Mona, who also loves them, would move into the house and look after them as usual. Magic was rushing around at his normal high speed, so I sent to him simply that we were going to go away, but that we would be back soon.

Kathryn came in to The Soul Therapy Centre that Wednesday evening to have a tutorial with my colleague Adriana, so I gave her a photo of Tui and Magic and asked her to explain the situation to both cats the next day, after we had left for Vienna, as I didn’t know if they had received what I had been trying to communicate to them. What I did not mention was the unequal messages I had given them.

Imagine my delight when, on our return, I picked up this e-mail dated 10th July 2003 from Kathryn:

Hello Ingrid

I hope you both had a wonderful time in Vienna!

I tuned in to Tui and Magic as arranged. I went through a long detailed explanation of your movements with Tui, and at the end she just said ‘I know’.

I asked what sign she would give you when the kittens are on the way, and got that she would go to the little house when the time came.

I explained
