What Animal is With You?

We all have many spirit animals that can help us throughout our lifetimes, both on an individual and group/familial level.
For myself, cats are a HUGE support and protective animal for me. I can't remember a time when I did not have a cat as a pet or that stray cats "randomly" showed up for love, food, or a peaceful place to cross over. (My husband lovingly calls me a Cat Lady.) Katie, our newest addition, randomly showed up in our yard during a very emotionally difficult time for me. As soon as she arrived, she acted like she'd known us her entire life and was trying her best to get inside our home through a window! You can read about how Tiger joined us here!
There is a spirit cat that has revealed himself to different family members, most recently my older daughter, as a familial guardian.
Our cat Dartanion, who crossed over last year, can be felt strongly by my younger daughter. (She claims he sits next to her on her right side while she plays the piano, something he did for years when I played the piano.)
While my younger daughter shares my great love of cats, my older daughter has a great love of birds. My husband loves eagles.
There are beings from the Animal Kingdom that can appear as temporary guides, symbolic for a certain phase of your life, or represent a loved one in Spirit. There are also beings from the Animal Kingdom and Mystic Realms that are guardians for certain lands or communities.
Hummingbirds and Orange Butterflies are my personal signs from loved ones in Spirit.
I knew Hawk was helping me when I began to see them flying in the sky EVERYWHERE.
My older daughter heard a horse neighing in our neighborhood. Since there are no horses that live in or near our neighborhood, we knew that Horse was introducing itself to her as a spirit animal.
My younger daughter had a vision of a dog lying just inside her and her sister's bedroom door for a second before it disappeared. There are dog spirits that protect the land our house is on (you can read about that here!) and I felt her vision was their way of letting her know that she and our family are safe.
Pay attention to the animals that cross your path - they will let you know when they are with you!
