Adding Bounce to Pounce: An Acupressure Session for an Aging Cat
ADDING BOUNCE TO POUNCE:
An Acupressure Session for an Aging Cat
By Amy Snow & Nancy Zidonis,
Authors of Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure
At the age of 14, Kaitlin Kitty was starting to show her age. Just a few years ago she could jump like a gazelle. She looked like a speeding rabbit when called to dinner. Now Kaitlin Kitty spends her time lounging in sun puddles on the floor or sitting on a comfy lap. Kaitlin’s helpmate in life, Fiona, wonders where her favorite cat’s zesty-self has gone. Fiona has noticed that not only is Kaitlin slowing down physically, she seems to be in low spirits as well and this worries her.
With her knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Feline Acupressure, Fiona decides to develop a session plan to address Kaitlin’s physical and emotional issues.
The first acupressure point, also called “acupoint,” Fiona selects is Heart 7, located on the lateral side (outside) of the forelegs just above the carpals, or wrist. The Chinese name for this point is translated to “Mind Door” or “Spirit Gate,” because when stimulated it has an affect of supporting the cat’s mental attitude and can help with depression and low spirits.
Fiona selects Stomach 36, an acupoint known to invigorate Chi, the Chinese word for life-promoting energy, in the body to support Kaitlin’s energy level in general. Stomach 36, called “Leg 3 Miles,” has the attribute of enhancing physical energy as well as improving the animal’s ability to utilize nutrients. The ability to absorb nutrients tends to decrease as an animals ages which can further compromise physical energy. This point, Stomach 36, is located on the lateral side of the hind legs just below the stifle or knee.
Fiona knows that every older animal can benefit from Kidney 3, “Greater Stream.” A major attribute of Kidney 3 is that it provides Original Chi or Source Chi to support the entire essence of the animal. This point is located on the medial side (inside) of the legs on the thin skin at the top of the cat’s hocks (ankles).
Kaitlin Kitty is lucky to have Fiona help her feel her best during her golden years. Fiona will offer Kaitlin this acupressure session every third day for the next two weeks which will probably add a bounce back into Kaitlin’s pounce and maybe even her jump.
