What if our cats aren’t here to be “managed” — but to initiate us?

In this episode of Mystic Dog Mama, I’m joined by Pam Roussell of Purrrfectly Holistic - holistic pet health practitioner and devoted Cat Mom, for a conversation that invites us to slow down, listen more deeply, and rethink what health really means - for our animals and for ourselves.

Pam shares her journey from the fitness industry into holistic pet health, shaped by her own healing and profoundly catalysed by the loss of her beloved cat, Snow Bear. His passing became a threshold moment — one that called Pam into a deeper relationship with intuition, energetics, and the wisdom of the body.

Together, we explore the medicine of cats - why it’s time to bring cats fully into holistic health conversations, and what they can teach us about curiosity, mysticism, and conscious care. We talk about the importance of getting to root causes rather than treating symptoms, the unique stressors many cats face (especially indoor cats), and how emotional, energetic, spiritual, and physical health are inseparable.

This is also a conversation about agency - becoming your pet’s health advocate, trusting your intuition, and how learning to advocate for your animals inevitably helps you step into deeper advocacy for yourself.

We touch on the shadow side of the holistic health world, the danger of “doing everything right,” and why asking why matters more than ever. Pam also reflects on the spiritual significance of ailments, the different roles cats and dogs play in our spiritual development, and what the astrological shifts of 2026 and beyond are calling forward in how we think about health, healing, and support.

Pam also shares gentle, practical insights for supporting your feline companions, along with her own daily practices with her cats - grounding this expansive conversation in everyday devotion.

If your cat feels like a teacher, a mirror, or a guide in your life, this episode is an invitation to listen.
