Professor Ernesto Bozzano - The parapsychological manifestations of animals - 130 cases proving animal mediumistic abilities

This case appeared in Light, 1915, p. 168. Mrs. Mildred Duke, a well-known extrasensory person and author of many in-depth articles on metapsychic subjects, recounts the following fact, which happened to her personally.

A few days ago, I stayed writing until late and was absorbed in the subject I was dealing with, when I was literally overwhelmed by the idea that my pussy needed me. I had to get up and go look for her. After going around the house uselessly, I went into the garden and as the darkness prevented me from seeing, I began to call her.

I finally perceived a faint mewing from a distance.

Every time I repeated my call, the meowing answered me, but the pussy didn't come. I then returned home to take a lantern with me. Then I crossed the vegetable garden and walked to a field where I thought the meowing was coming from. After some research, I found my pussy in a hedge, caught in a trap set for rabbits, the noose wrapping around her neck. Had she attempted to pull and release herself, she would have strangled herself.

Fortunately, she had the intelligence to stop moving and send her mistress a message requesting help, by "wireless telegraphy."

It is a cat to which I am very attached. This is not the first time a telepathic relationship has been established between her and me. A few days ago, we assumed she was lost, since she could not be found anywhere, she was called everywhere in the garden in vain. Suddenly, through a kind of mental photography, I saw her trapped in a small empty room under the attic of the house, a room that almost always remained closed. The vision was true.

The cat, we don't know how, had been locked up there. Did she send me, this time again, a telepathic message to warn me of her imprisonment?"
