The Secret Life of Pets: Meet Animal Whisperer Catherine Siterlet

The post The Secret Life of Pets: Meet Animal Whisperer Catherine Siterlet appeared first on MyNorth.com.

There’s a dusting of snow over this hobby farm in Long Lake Township near Traverse City as Catherine Siterlet steps into the barn to stand nose to muzzle with an imposing horse. The two are having a quiet chat about the fact the horse is a bit bored—wild groups of deer haven’t been passing by as often this winter—and that he’s feeling better physically but his medicine gums up his mouth a bit. Could Siterlet ask the owners to mix the powder with a bit of water?

My presence is apparently an annoyance, though. “She’s afraid of horses,” the horse, Shaddai, tells Siterlet, who is an animal communicator by trade. She glances steadily to me as she translates the conversation. “Tell her to move back.”
