TTouch is a wonderful teaching method for animals developed by Linda Tellington-Jones. I practice TTouch and Reiki for animals on shelter animals as well as privately. Pictured here is a cat I worked on at an NYC shelter, Social Tees (http://socialtees.com), where I volunteer. I am demonstrating raccoon touches, ear strokes and some other TTouches. You can see more about the work that I do on animals on my blog, http://sarahsuricat.blogspot.com. There is more info about TTouch at http://ttouch.com. The lighting is a bit dark here but hopefully you can see basically what I am doing :)
I love the look a cat gets in the first few moments he gets TTouch. A bit surprised, like 'what's this, huh... this is weird.. wait... no, this rather NICE!'.
My cat has the same look, but then she lays down, takes a deep breath and let go of her tension, starts purring. It's such a rewarding technic.

You can tell that you are having a very positive effect on the cat! <3 5/5
