Welcome to Gaia! ::

assuming that your familiar is a part of your spirit and not a physical animal(which is annoying that some people are asking questions that have already been answered or disproved or whatever earlier in the thread....people should actually read before posting -_-; ) is it possible to have multiple?....I have always recognized my spirit as part tiger that I talk to and will respond and whatnot...but lately I have found a part that is very fae-like....is it possible to have both be true?

Familiars as I see them are animal spirits that help one reach parts of their spiritual selves that they otherwise couldn't reach. Thus it would seem familiars can't be chosen, they choice you. All animals have a natural power/energy to them, and depending on the animal the connection can be greater or less to you. My Cat his almost completely connected to me, I hear her every thought, I can sense her at all times.

Ok I understand that a lot of people think familars are NOT flesh and blood but I have always had an understanding that familars are flesh and blood but you can feel them in spirit.
I've had two familars in my life (I've had many pets though) My Cat Annie-Rikku (who passed away from a snake bite) and My Greyhound Dudley who is deaf as a doornail but we definately have a psychic connection as I talk to him all the time and he knows what I am on about.
He is definately deaf too.

hey,do..well, do shadow people count? I know they are like entities and all, but i have always seen them like when i was little, and maybe, im not sure, but maybe even when i was a baby, i have always felt that they were there, and i always saw them, and then just felt them even when i became a skeptic and decided to quit believing in things like wicca and ghosts until recently. I even share a psychic connection with my mother! but, i wasn't really into this stuff until recent events, adn..well..the shadow people really became persistent to be seen lately and its really quite annoying, it's like they are trying to say or do something. and they are spirits...can they? its mainly only one, but sometimes on occasion like when im having an quite eventful day, flickering from shadow to shadow and spot to spot, and i get feelings of tension or anxiety from them, anyone ?

i think it just happens, you can invoke it though, i havent tried, i haven't really needed to, even when i quit believing, it was there, i always knew whaever pet we had was thinking, ( we have had so far8 cats, the most recent had to go also sad , 9 dogs as far as i can remember, 3 ferrets, 1 guinea pig, and 2 rabbits) we have with us now 2 dogs, and it just happens. the more i talk with them the more i understand them, but it always seemed to depend upon How i talked to them, if i used that baby voice that seems to say Your-just-an -animal-what-do-i-care-if-you-understand, i get less and many Your-stupid-and-i-am-only-doing-this-reaction-of-excitment-to-make-you-believe-it-is-workin-because-i-hink-you-are-and-look-funny-when-you-do-this-and-i-get-quite-kick-out-of-making-you-look-stupid-haha. Now if i just talk to them normal and sorta think what i am saying at the same time,picturing us talking and them understanding, they seem to respond more, i get more out of them....does this make any sense, because i can just go on and on and only make sense to myself.. confused
