He gained one brain cell, you lost one. You made a cat smarter.
An orange cat with two brain cells?
The leader has been chosen!
You will enter a room, forget why you went there, go back to where you came from, and realized you misplaced your phone along the way. And at the worst possible moment you will be unable to solve 6x7 in your head.
Who needs to solve it, the answer is 42.
Oh, so that's what happened. I must have crossed a ginger cat. Every day.
Oh god
orange
You will be making illogical decisions today
They will be entertaining as well.
reading the portents: You will have fewer rodents and birds in your life.
You will get a lot of lasagna and only read unfunny boomer memes for a month.
Not far from reality, hate mondays, love pasta.
You will be really excited to tell someone important news today, then forget what you wanted to say as soon as you see them.
Tail up or tail horizontal? This makes all the difference
It was up, and it gave me side eye
Oh that's terrible news. The tail means you're going to stub your toe on something really hard and the side eye means you're going to have your taxes audited 😬
(Pretending to know anything about mystic omens):
From left to right, or the other way?
You're getting laid by a red head! Which may or may not be a treat, depending on your sexuality.
Given I’ve been on a dry spell for several years now, sounds like a divine blessing.
That's Garfield. So you will start doing silly things.
You will make an unexpected friend.
You'll be lucky. Whether it's good luck or bad luck is uncertain.
A craving for an orange creamsicle (go with it and satisfy that craving - creamsicles are delicious)
IF you're really serious about wanting to know what Spirit is trying to communicate to one, through "chance" encounters,
THEN https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/medicine-cards-jamie-sams/1128869763?ean=9780312204914
For those who hold that spirit "isn't real", & therefore it's delusion to treat meaning/spirit as being autonomously real, as some do..
spirit's the ONLY difference between a disintegrating-corpse vs a growing-organism: the neutrons, protons, & electrons are mathematically identical between the 2 bodies, so the chemistry-process difference can't be based on them.
Once one begins studying what LivingSpirit means through different messengers, it takes years to slog through unconscious-mind's pretences ( THIS is significant!! .. why, just because it was an encounter? MEANINGFUL encounters are meaningful: you have to EARN understanding when an encounter is just-circumstance, vs when it is meaningful with Spirit's meaning.
This learning-process is the same as in any domain: it took me 7-8 years before I got the fluid-dynamics intuition needed to just cut right through all the wrong-design in manufactured sailboats & aircraft: until then, I had jumbled understandings, not profound understanding.
It's the same in all domains, from what I can see: that "10,000 hours to expertise" rule seems to hold valid. )
Do keep at it, though: knowing that when earwig gets in one's space/face that something is broken, & we just don't know yet is useful information! ( earwig isn't in the book )
or when house-sparrow crashes into one, that HELL is about to trash-up one's day, but if one holds-steady, it'll fail to change one's life to being defined by it ( that's not in the book, either )
Anyways, the Abrahamic religions seem to believe that LivingSpirit ONLY communicates through humans, .. which is narcissism.
( I was Catholic, decades ago )
LivingSpirit communicates through EVERYthing, with people who are plugged-in to LivingSpirit.
That book is the best basic-basics I know-of.
"Spirits of the Earth" is also good.
Living out in a forest for a few years works well IF one has those books giving one understanding.
Simply being mindful of Nature's expression works well, if one has patience!
Being born into a culture which already has that kind of thing in it also works well, obviously.

No Black Cat = You good!
I love a good void.
