The Adventurous Tales of Monte and Ben

They were so playful and Monte so delicate and annoyed at Bens Pitbull like tendencies.

Yet they were sophisticated, mixed pedigree, Bengal breed and came together to live with Eliot and I at our flat in Ealing overlooking the tree lined approach when they were just 4 weeks old.

2007. The days before too much online shopping occurred and Facebook. Yet, we found them online. Or rather Eliot did and we went to choose them from a cardboard box in a stinky house with Jewish lady and flat full of kittens and cats.

We brought them home to a house full of love where they grew fast on a diet of non veg which I eventually sorted and got them on a pure vegetarian kittie diet which I had to trek to bloody Kensington for.

At one point I thought of selling the stuff online but couldn’t afford the space so off to Kensington it was to keep the boys karma free. These brothers had it made, they had balcony with toys and space for Ben to bully Monte plus a tonne of love showered upon them daily, hourly when I was home - so pristine and perfect these precious kitties.

One early evening, the living room window was open and `Ben had grown a bit bigger and mighty brave. He leaped out and was nowhere to be seen.

Eliot ran out to save him and came back woefully shaking his head. He hadn’t had any luck in finding him.

I was screaming and crying, calling him from the window praying and pleading with God that he be ok, reassuring Monte that he was.

An hour or so later Eliot came back with wobbly Ben who was shaken and milder in demeanour than before which was harrowing. He was always the brave and dominant one and now his leg was clearly hurt and we discovered broken at the visit to the vet the next morning. All was bandaged up well for support and he limped and regained his ability to walk again.

So precariously and needed oh so much additional love which I never tired of.

He recovered quickly but his whole personality had changed from warrior to a fragile ghost of his former princely self.

Monte Fought Back

Monte, always the unsure one started to employ Bens original bullish tactics. He was literally willing them into Ben! These cats were Spiritual Super Hero’s!

It was time for the renaming ceremony.

Monte and Ben Receive Spiritual Names.

So attuned with the divine, their new names were received by Cassandra in meditation and their new spiritual names whispered into their ears.

I will not reveal those names, but they truly embodied those qualities and were worthy of their new spiritual initiation and soon adjusted and settled into the idea, as did we that they were Gods Creatures and their friendship, and ours was bonded forever.

As Ben became well again we became an inseparable family and the two were playing together again boisterously as brothers do.

We all became highly attuned to one another

Like the time Cassandra attended a level 2 Reiki weekend and had a healing crisis upon returning.

I was literally screaming and running around at home from room to from for 4 hours not knowing what was happening or why.

Monte and Ben left me alone for that time which was absolutely unthinkable as they were the type of cats who loved love to be lavished upon them, always in my lap at every opportunity and always being around, never out of sight.

They stayed away in the kitchen during my healing crisis, calmly and with deep knowing that trauma was being released and reassured me that they were ok. After some time I collapsed.

After recovering I came towards them carefully, anxious they may have taken on some of my released emotion. They stood firm asserting again they were strong and unshakable and we hugged for the next few hours. They had literally held space for my healing to occur. I felt freer like I had released a lifetime of trauma which I feel I actually had.

So intuitive were Monte & Ben, they knew exactly how to contain the situation and position themselves during my healing so that all were safe and well. I was so relieved but wanted to make sure they were unaffected by any of the negativity released.

They dispelled my fears quite purposefully and made it clear they were fine and were back to play fighting and bounding around again in no time. I was dumbfounded at their miraculous healing and protective powers. And towards me! Human bodied creature, and during such a pivotal point along my healing journey. I couldn’t have done it alone. They assisted in my letting go of deep seated trauma and are true warriors and superhero’s of the light! Long Live Monte & Ben!

Their actions have taught me they are pure spirit soul in their fluffy feline bodies, fully connected to The Divine which is nothing short of remarkable. These powerful and holy beings are eternal Avatar friends. It’s no wonder they are worshipped in many ancient cultures and traditions.

Monte & Ben now stay with friends of a shaman but that’s a whole new story.
