How can we best serve our other-selves of the second-into-third-density placement--that is, our pets?
I have the privilege of living with five cats - I am not their primary caretaker, but I do spend much time with them and enjoy caring for them when I have those opportunities. All of these cats have distinct personalities, each with a different temperament and a unique quirk as well as a unique challenge.
"F" - The eldest, nearly a decade old, female - more frail in her old age and has a harder time jumping around and so spends most of her time lounging and sleeping. She has a mischievous streak and is quite astute: if she feels slighted, she will knock over loose items from shelves, sit on computers, and, basically, make herself known. I believe this comes out of her great familiarity with and trust in us and not real grumpiness. She often sleeps beside or on top of her people, and she tolerates being held and carried the best. She is only territorial towards M and will frequently chase her away from the common spaces.
"L" - The second, a few years younger than the eldest, female - for the longest time, had been reclusive and "wild," not aggressive but also unwilling to be held, or be caressed, or engage in playtime. However, recently, she has warmed up and will seek out people to brush her fur, caress her, and hold her in our laps or arms. Strangely, she seeks this out most often while the person is in the restroom, indisposed or not. She prefers to sleep on smooth, elevated surfaces - empty boxes on shelves, the shelves themselves, and chairs and barstools. She has a habit of relieving herself on carpets and towels.
"T" - The third, only a few years old but of a stout constitution, male - I helped raise T when he was a tiny kitten, and he has grown to be the biggest and most gregarious and jovial of the five. He is always happy to see us and will giddily wiggle his tail and meow in greeting. (And, even though he is a big strong cat, his meows are the most childlike!) He is a gourmand, always asking for food scraps. He will often jump on the counters but also will wait patiently in one spot for hugs and caresses. He will also climb on us, when we are seated, and rest his head on the shoulder like a small child. He is a night owl and will meow at any closed door. He also, in all innocence, will chase after and bat at L even when she protests; he's just trying to play, but he also doesn't know his own strength.
"M" and "B" - The fourth and fifth, adopted together not too long after the male grew up, both female -
M does not return F's enmity and will, if F is sleeping, bump sniff around and even curl up near her. When F is awake, M becomes frightened and skittish. M spends most of her time hidden away but is otherwise a healthy cat. She is sweet and reserved, never even 'love-biting,' and enjoys equally lounging around and climbing and jumping around.
B might be even more energetic than T, but she seems to have some separation anxiety. She will often wander around and meow balefully until someone calls her, and will then come sprinting over and expect playtime. She is intelligent and can gesture at favorite toys. We do play with her often. However, it takes a lot to reassure her that she is safe and loved. Once she has been so soothed, she can nap, and explore, and play independently. She is simple and affectionate: sometimes, all you have to do is look at her to start her purring. She also enjoys eating 'with us,' that is, she will gesture for us to join her at her food dish, as she prefers having someone watch her as she eats. Her anxiety is not due to any feuding - she gets along peaceably with all four of the other cats.
I would say I am most concerned with B, despite the spats between T and L and F and M. B seems to be as self-aware but less well-adjusted than F.
It hurts my heart to hear B meowing as if in a panic, even though I know she is safe and healthy. I want to give B the attention and affection she needs, both because she deserves it for being so sweet and to invest in her path to third-density proper--but I also want to ease her out of the panicked vocalizations and fretting.

Here is some Confederation commentary about pets and especially cats:
Quote:14.1 Questioner: Going back over this morning’s work, [inaudible]. You said the second density strives towards the third density which is the density of self-consciousness or self-awareness. The striving takes place through higher second-density forms invested by third-density beings. Could you explain what you mean by this?
Ra: I am Ra. Much as you would put on a vestment, so do your third-density beings invest or clothe some second-density beings with self-awareness. This is often done through the opportunity of what you call pets. It has also been done by various other means of investiture. These include many so-called religious practice complexes which personify and send love to various natural second-density beings in their group form.
Quote:30.13 Questioner: I was wondering if the male cat, Gandalf, has benefited by that mechanism in some way or by other mechanisms in increasing spiritual potential or understanding.
Ra: I am Ra. We examine this information and find it harmless. The second-density entity, sound vibration Gandalf, is a rare sample of its species due first to previous individualization, secondly due to a great amount of investment in this particular life experience. This is the greatest catalyst in this entity’s progress. It is very unusual, as we have said. However, the experiences of bisexual reproduction which were of the nature of the entity Gandalf were to a small extent of spiritual benefit due to an unusual relationship with another entity, this also what you call a cat. This entity also being of an unusually third-density orientation or investment from previous life experiences. Thus the formation of what could be seen to be recognizably love did exist in this relationship.

I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The entities that you refer to as the cats are quite sensitive to not only our presence and others of the Confederation of Planets in the Service to the One Creator, but are also sensitive to the negatively oriented that would offer their service in their own way. The feline entities have, throughout the history of your peoples, been seen by those of a metaphysical sensitivity as being able to perceive much which is unseen to your physical eye. The cat has been utilized as the guardian of many temples in the past of the Egyptian race of your peoples. For this reason and because of the sensitivity of the cat entities, the negatively oriented entities find some difficulty in offering the full impact of their services when the feline entities are present, for there is a natural kind of guarding or protection that is offered by the cat entities. They are not always aware of each entity as an individualized portion or person as they are aware of you in that nature, but are often aware of a feeling tone or attitude or ambiance that has changed or has a certain quality.
Thus, it is sometimes as if these creatures sense a presence as you would hear a certain sound that would alert you to activity. The cat entity, however, is also able to ascertain the nature of the presence, whether it is beneficial or deleterious, and will respond differently to each of these qualities.
Are they, then, beginning to develop their own biases toward the positive or the negative path at this point?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. In some cases this is so, especially those cases in which a cat entity is invested in the position as a pet, as we find in this domicile there are six such entities. In other cases, it is possible for the cat entity to become aware of the presence of unseen entities and simply be aware that a presence is there, much as they are aware you are in their presence when you are indeed in their presence. Their beginning bias toward one polarity or the other, then, is a function of the quality of investment, shall we say, that has been given to them.
Is there a [inaudible] that in our participation [inaudible] that would aid them in the investment process? And also I am assuming that our contributions toward investment is a service that we perform?
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my sister. The participation of the cat entities in these meditations enhances this investment quality in that they share their experience with you and with us. The nature of investment is that the quality of beingness of a greater energy source, shall we say, is manifested in a direct fashion that is the proximity of one presence to another with the motivation being to share freely of the self or to radiate a certain vibration or information that then will find a resonance with the essence or basic quality of the entities with whom the vibration or information is shared. Thus, though the cat entities are not able to perceive in a mental or spiritual nature in the same manner as are you that which is shared in these meditations, they are aware of and receptive to the basic frequency of vibration that is radiated in a resonate fashion with their own essence.

The second level of helpfulness between pets and their owners has to do with the energetic balances and rebalances of your system as an evolving human being and the sensitivity and accuracy of the pet in its ability to pick up and to deal with the ongoing energy situation as it fluctuates within your process. The pet is able to act as a kind of guard, becoming alert when there are difficult vibrations around an entity, becoming aware that there is physical or mental or emotional illness, and wishing to move into that energy and help balance that energy; so that there is a natural tendency of the pet to create an atmosphere or to help to create an atmosphere of healing for the human involved.

It is rare, but not unheard of, for second-density creatures to have also the spirit complex added unto them. This happens as you are aware quite frequently in the case of that creature which you would call the “pet,” that creature which is given love and affection by the third-density entity. By this giving of love and affection, the second-density entity is enhanced in its ability to give and receive love itself, to be able to develop the complex of the spirit, and thus be ennobled in a sense, so that it is perhaps harvestable within its next incarnation into the third density itself at the lowest levels of the third density.

The second-density creatures of the plants and the animal variety are examples of simple awareness that has the capacity to be imbued with the love of the third-density entity that is either the master or the gardener, shall we say.
This capacity to be able to receive love is that which in both the plant and the animal is then fructifying the ability to give love by these second-density creatures. This interaction between the gardener, the master, the plant, and the animal is one which reflects the larger overview of how each third-density entity is imbued with the love of the One Creator that enlivens each fiber of its being in each day of its incarnation. So that, if the heart is open, and the love moves freely through, then this love may be given wherever it is needed, wherever it is called for.
The animal and the plant are those which, having this simple conscious awareness, call for that which gives them the inner feeling of being imbued with what would be called love and which they see as a kind of food, for their very nature of being—perceived by the animal through the mind and through the beginnings of the heart, by the plant, through the tender care of the gardener, the watering, the fertilizing, the attention, the intention—perceives that which you would call love.

If the pet is deeply devoted to its human, and its human is deeply devoted to the pet, there may well have been enough investment of love and consciousness within that second density entity that it becomes, through this investment, harvestable to become a person, as you call yourselves, a human, a spirit, with breath. In that case, there may be the opportunity to graduate which is taken, or suggestions from those who enjoy doing mischief, that are obeyed by a mind not yet awake to reasoning processes to a great extent.
Quote:https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/1976/0815
... animals begin their consciousness as a type of pool of consciousness, so that each type of animal is that animal in general. They go through many incarnations at this level, until experiences occur which mold their individual personality. It is especially common for the so-called domesticated animal to become individualized, through the love which they share with their masters. At the point at which an animal becomes individualized, he ceases, upon the physical death, to go back into animal consciousness. He will instead begin that evolution known to you as the human type of evolution. In the so-called spirit, this animal consciousness, having been individualized, will spend time dwelling upon the love of his master, and will incarnate, often in order to be with his master. At some point, this individualized pet or animal will have become so much of an individual that his soul is ready for the step of becoming a human soul. This is a very long process, in your terms. Consciousness is a plenum, or as you may call it, a spectrum, one type of consciousness a little more articulated than the next, beginning with the most dense and still objects and going into the human, and past, into angelic consciousness. That of the animals is the step in the process which is below, next to, and merging with the human consciousness.

... Ra talked about how we can help second-density entities on their spiritual path and on their harvest, by being in relationship with them as pets. I was wondering if you could give any insight into how we might deepen that sort of relationship with our pets to help them on their spiritual journeys.
I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. This is a topic which is most apropos to the day, for we are aware that there have been experiences with pets that have been difficult for some members of this group today. We would suggest that as the pet is related to by the owner, that the love which the owner feels for the pet be expressed in any way possible, and in every opportunity possible, in order that the love of the owner for the pet is invested in the pet so that it is much likened unto a seed that begins to grow within the pet and the pet then begins to feel a loving response for the owner, as it feels the love from the owner to it. This is a reciprocal opportunity to give that which is understanding, love, compassion, to the pet so that it may feel engulfed by the open-hearted unconditional love of the owner. This is a situation which is most usually accomplished over a long period of time, usually measured in years, for the experience of the pet and the owner to reach the full fruition of the pet being invested to the degree that the next incarnation that it will experience will be that of the third-density entity.
