I think my human mummy is going nuts! This week it was her birthday and she got as a gift “The Essential Dowsing Guide” book! That in itself was the biggest mistake as she immediately started reading it and then, of course, she tried to “explore” (oh! excuse me….dowse) everything that came to her mind or her way. I personally think this is a big no-no …but who would think a cat knows better? Anyway, I was quite bored waiting for to finish reading so we can play so I was looking for my mouse (toy). I didn’t say anything but I heard her saying: Ah! Ok! I can find you (meaning me) if you disappear, I can find lost objects and, actually I can find your mouse – a live mouse! Then….she went to the backyard with two L-shape rods and started walking around! George, is she really nuts? Who cares about dowsing? I don’t ….for the record.
Why?
First – I do not plan to “disappear” (after
I lived on the streets for 3 years? No way).
Secondly – I’m not interest in any lost
object! I can find my mouse toy without any gadgets. And thirdly – the live
mouse is my “quick moving and juicy dinner” and all she did was to scare the
heck out of my poor dinner! Now I have to eat the food she had prepared for me!
Ugh! I know she holds in utmost respect the British Society of Dowsers! Since
this association is in UK can you please ask them how can I tell her she has no
talent for dowsing (proved last night) and how can I stop her from scaring away
my dinner?
With much gratitude

Dear Chico,
This is a serious dilemma. We don't want humans to start finding and catching mice. This is our job. I have always argued that mouse traps should be banned as should mouse poison (so dangerous for cats that decide to eat a mouse). Now dowsing. What will they think of next? They are dumb and dumber, poor creatures.
Maybe it would help if you started bringing her live mice so that she practiced inside the home, rather than interfering in your backyard? This is a tentative suggestion because many humans fail to appreciate our generosity and just scream or stand on chairs.
Another possibility is to use her as a hunting aid. At the moment she is scaring mice away but if she could only get a bit more expert at it, she could dowse their whereabouts, then call you in to finish them off.
But is this likely? Humans are so noisy and clumsy that I believe they can only dowse inanimate things like water.... even the British Society of Dowsers would surely draw the line at mice.
Please stay in touch and tell me how you get on with this latest example of sheer human stupidity.
Yours
George.

I hear you, Chico! I hear you! My human is worst than yours as she was voted "Dowser of the year" across the pond - she literally is walking with a pendulum in her hand!

I'm an indoor cat so homemade food sounds good to me! I live with three other cats and we only eat kibbles! You are one lucky guy Chico :-)
