This is Peter.
Animals have their version of a Soul, so their journey through lives is somewhat similar to humans. A cat stays a cat and a dog stays a dog – but there are younger Soul cats and older Soul cats. This cat, of which you speak, although young in age has been alive many times.

There was a recognition of you (N) as someone with a great affinity to animals. It has been with you before in other lives – and (M) too.
