Question:
I was watching my cat, Bubbles, sit on his perch on our sunny porch. When he jumped down, I swear I saw his aura. It was like a bright light in the shape of his body that I saw in outline while he sat on his perch. But when he jumped, his entire aura seemed to separate from him for a moment. Since then, I've been seeing all kinds of auras around other animals, people, trees, etc.Am I going crazy, Dr. Fox? I have 20/20 vision, am a vegetarian and enjoy good health.
