“Why won’t my cat use the litter box?” “Does my dog like my boyfriend?” “Is my pet happy?” Those are the most popular questions people ask Shelly, a pet psychic who realized her gift very young but suppressed it until several years ago because of society’s “standards.” “I’m just a bridge between you and your animals,” she says. “They want to talk to you.” Younger generations, she feels, are much more in tune with animals, pointing out her 11-year-old daughter is more gifted than she is. That’s also the concept behind Shelly’s upcoming young adult fiction novel that taps into animal communication and how youth are more in tune with nature and animals. Her conversations with dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, goats, even a groundhog reveal that “animals feed off human emotions and mimic us,” she says. “They’re also little gossip queens.” Respect and listen to your animal Shelly advises because “they know more than you do.” As for skeptics: “Everyone has the power to communicate with their pet. Do it yourself.”
