- Our pets, we love them, and they love us.
Or do they?
(dramatic music)
It's Ladylike, and today we're gonna find out.
(upbeat music)
I have two cats, Mars and Bones.
Bones is my all black cat, shorthair.
I think he's a Bombay.
He's very talkative, a little angsty,
he loves you, he loves you, he loves you,
then he loves you not.
He's always on the lookout for villains.
Like, posting up on windows where he can see
if a villain is about to approach.
There he is right there.
Keep a good lookout, Bones.
And then my lover, Mars, is a longhair Ragdoll.
All he wants to do, is act like he's stoned,
and lay around on his back.
And those are my boys, the yin and the yang
the sugar and the spice.
I have heard about pet psychics,
but I'm still on the fence when it comes to human psychics.
So Bones had an asthma attack in November,
and he had to spend all night in the ER
and it was very scary for me.
So I'm wondering if there's any residual trauma
that he's carrying around.
Also here's another thing,
there's a lot of stray dogs and cats in my neighborhood
and I feed them, I feed all the cats.
I know that the internet is probably gonna be like,
don't do that you're hurting them blah blah blah.
These cats look hungry.
And I'm not gonna stop giving to the cats in need.
And I know my boys don't like that.
They hiss, they get very upset.
I wanna see if their jealous,
and I also wanna see if the psychic can help me
communicate to them that they need to chill the (meow) out.
I just wanna do right by my boys.
They are my sons and I love them so much.
I am revealing myself as a crazy cat lady,
but y'all knew that.
(person laughs)
Hi, you wanna show off how handsome you are?
They put on their bow ties 'cause, you know.
Yeah, they had to be camera ready, yeah (laughs).
Hi, Melissa, I'm Devin.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, I'm so happy to have you here.
This is Mars.
- Hello, Mars.
- We were setting up and he just like, sat down
in between us, and cozied up.
- Really, he's giving me the look like, let's go. (snaps)
- So Melissa, what do you do for a profession?
- So, I'm a pet psychic. - Okay.
- I've been a pet psychic for, I mean I guess all my life,
but professionally for probably the last 10 years.
- Now, when you talk to them how do you take them in?
- Every animal's a little bit different,
but I feel like they do have a voice.
And it's interesting because, the way we're talking
is a little bit differently than the way they'll talk to me.
A lot of times they'll show me images
or I'll start to act like that animal,
because I really am feeling them through my body.
So sometimes also the communication gets crossed.
They are so bonded and so close
like they love each other so much,
they're kinda both giving me messages at the same time.
- Well, guys come on don't interrupt each other.
(Melissa chuckles)
- So last night you sent me a picture
to say we're ready. - I had to send.
- So, immediately when I looked at it I went,
well they're not cats they're human,
like that was like.
- I mean look at them.
(both laughing)
I mean look at this face. - It was the first thing
that I got. - This face.
- He's very much like, do you see this?
Like he's very into what he looks like,
first of all. - Yeah, he is.
- Sometimes it's hard to put into words
like his showing me you looking at yourself
and taking pride in what you look like
and he's like, oh yeah, we're really attractive,
and we're really beautiful,
and me and my mom are just both really pretty.
(Bones meows)
- Okay, I'm in the middle of something.
(Bones meows)
Okay, get away. (Melissa laughs)
- So he's telling me he goes between being your baby
and being your friend.
He's your confidante and he knows when you're sad
or when you're stressed.
- I joke that they're my therapy cats,
because he is very much like if I'm sad
he won't leave my side. - Right.
And that's what he's saying like he enjoys
being that for you.
Like his job here is your soulmate
to make sure that you're feeling good
and that you're feeling happy.
He's telling me something about food.
(record scratch)
- Oh, of course he is.
- Is there something that you feed him
that looks like oatmeal or like mushy?
- Yeah, the vet did tell me
that they're a little bit overweight.
So I've been experimenting with some grain-free options
to keep it high protein.
And I mean it's wet cat food, so I think.
- Are they different flavors? - Mhm hmm.
- Okay, I feel like he likes like the beefier ones.
- Do you like the beefy ones?
Oh, when you said that his little eyes looked at you.
- It's like more of a gravier one.
- He likes that one, he doesn't like the pate one.
- Yeah, the ones that are very like oatmealy
he doesn't like, but the gravyish.
- All right dude, I hear you.
I mean that brands expensive but.
It's so like Mars, to tell you about
the food he wants first.
- That was definitely his like,
we need to talk about that.
Like I love her and.
(Devin laughs)
- I love her. - Soulmate all that,
great she knows that, but the food.
- But also, the food, yeah. - Yes.
- Does he have any thoughts or opinions about
where we've been versus where we are now?
- Basically what he's telling me is
you're very good at making a home for him,
wherever you are, but he said now he likes it
because he has more space
and he feels like he has more freedom here.
I don't know did you have to keep him
in a room at one point?
- Yeah I mean they have a room
that I used to keep them in for majority of the time,
'cause my boyfriend and I were moving in together
and he was adjusting to his allergies.
- He's just like, I just, that to me was like not great
because he felt. - You want couches.
- Yes, he likes to be cozy.
Like he's showing me couches and all that
and he said like you just seem much happier now,
and you spend a lot more time here with him
and he likes that a lot.
But the biggest thing is he wants you to know
you are his person, and he is so grateful to you.
Anything you need he would be there for you,
he just, it's like a very spiritual, emotional connection
more than anything.
- Oh, that's definitely it, yeah.
This cat has been with me through the worst you know?
He is, he is my little soulmate.
- They both love you.
Like they're both just like, you give them everything
their hearts just are so full
and just they love you so much.
- I really hit the jackpot with you and your brother.
(laughs)
- Oh, he's like I'm and I'm done.
- Are you out?
Should I get, Bones?
(words whip)
(upbeat music)
Hi honey, you stay here just a second, okay well.
- We're here for you.
He doesn't have to be right here for me to read him.
So Bones, I just feel like, Bones, is a little bit more
of just like the dude, like he's the clown.
- Yeah.
- He's the one that like,
he like loves his toys and he loves to climb
and he loves to look out the windows.
He's very, not go with the flow that's not really the right,
'cause he's not go with the flow he's like,
this is what I want, but he's more independent
I guess is the word. - Yes.
- He does feel like a protector.
- Yes.
- He feels like he has to let you know
if something's out of place or something's weird.
And he's also telling me that
you help other cats,
you'll help other peoples cats
or you'll help other cats.
- I have stray cats,
there's so many stray cats on this street.
- There you go.
- That I feed, that's crazy.
- But there around?
- They're in the yard.
- Yes, 'cause he wasn't showing me them in the house
and in my head I'm like,
well, she wouldn't have like somebody's cat in her yard, ha.
He sees them.
- I'm sure he does.
- He's like, I know 'cause he's telling me about them,
but he just is like proud of you.
- Aw, thanks, bud, I thought you were mad at me because
I was feeding other cats. - No, no he feels proud.
He doesn't want them here.
(Melissa laughs) - No, yeah, that's very.
- He's like I don't want another cat.
I'm just saying I'm proud of you.
Do you have any questions for either of them?
- Yeah, do they like my choice of men?
- So, Mars, said he's always you're number one man,
so that's it,
it doesn't matter. - Very true.
- I feel like your current boyfriend,
they're kinda like, yeah, they don't care
if he's here or not it's like they like him.
(Devon laughs)
You know he's nice he's cool to them.
I feel like he tries.
Like they're like, he really tries.
Who's the guy with a beard?
- That's my current boyfriend.
- Oh okay, 'cause they're like they like him.
- That's funny I can't wait to tell, Pat.
- Yeah. - He'll be so excited.
- They showed me the beard they're like, that's who we like.
(ladies laughing)
- Can you ask him how he's feeling?
Recently he's had an asthma attack.
- Oh.
(Bones meows)
I feel like he feels fine,
I don't know if you're giving him medication,
he like doesn't, the asthma attack he feels fine about.
- Okay, good, 'cause it was traumatizing
it was traumatizing for us both.
- And is he still on a medication?
- It's an inhaler.
- 'Cause it, oh, so I was just this.
- You were just doing the inhaler.
- Yeah, 'cause I'm like, what are you doing to him?
'Cause he doesn't know that.
But he was showing me, this thing.
like he hates that.
- He does hate it.
He truly hates it.
- But they're happy.
- They're happy?
- They love you and they're happy.
- Thank you, this was so cool.
You're right, it's funny because everything you told me.
- You know.
- I intuited. - Right, yeah.
- I feel like my boys, my cats I can very easily.
- Of course, you can! - Yeah.
- Yeah, 'cause you don't treat them like your cats
you treat them like your people,
like they're part of your life.
- I literally call them my sons.
- Yeah.
- They are my sons,
all of my sons, yeah. - Yeah.
- Thank you so much, Melissa.
- You're welcome, this was fun.
- This was so sweet, thank you, thank you.
- You're welcome.
(words thud)
(cat meows) (dramatic music)
- So I have a son, his name is James.
I really wanna figure out what's going on in that brain.
I do have a list of questions.
Has he ever seen a ghost in here?
(happy music)
