I don’t believe in reincarnation but…

I don’t believe in reincarnation. Or, at least, I didn’t, but my fae is making me question things. I firmly believe she has had other lives. In one, I think she must have been a collie. She will round up people and herd them together, whether they want to be herded or not. On occasions this is useful, as there are a couple of her friends who do have a tendency to run off at a moment’s provocation, and she is exceptional at finding them and returning them to the pack. Even the children with PDA stand no chance against her relentless badgering, and have learnt that it is just much easier to give in and go with her, because she will not give up. 

She will wash everything. Seriously, everything. Hands, sponges, food and on one memorable occasion popping candy. I think this is a hangover from her time as a raccoon. If she has it, she washes it. Trying to convince her that the bubbles in the bath are not going to appreciate being ‘washed’ was an exercise in futility. Also, if you sit too close to the bath while she is in it, you too will be washed. 

I have yet to find a way to stop her meowing around the house. If anyone has a solution, please let me know below. 

So, all in all, this seems to be her first attempt as a human. Maybe this explains why it’s being a bit of a challenge, as she seems to prefer to be small, furry, cute mammals. The good news is that, these days, identifying as one of those is not necessarily a sign of mental illness. Simply something that will cost a small fortune in costuming.
