Lac felinum Sycotic, a bit Tubercular

Dogs – had to suppress all their rage- to be

enslaved
Cats- came of their own will, self contempt for
enslaving themselves

(Massimo)
To try to leave their family as soon as
possible
To try to live an independent life
But what is interesting is how much this
family is still with them
So they leave, with idea they will be
independent

They try to avoid relationships where

they will suffer
I fear that a friend will leave me
To I prefer not to have friends
I suffered so much from first boyfriend who left me
I prefer not to have boyfriend
Or to have boyfriends just on the surface—friends just on the surface

FEAR of VIOLENCE
They are afraid they will do something violent
(Massimo does not see prostitute analogy)
What is important is to NOT be emotionally involved
They can be a playboy or a playgirl
They might have an open sexual life
(Most of his case, tho are lonely people)
They avoid stable relationships
They want to avoid ANGER, they do what ever is possible avoid their anger
Their Dreams—full of animals, often very close to them (not snakes or insects) (vs Lac-
c) that is wild and aggressive and destructive

Irresolution
The idea of making mistakes, or thinking they did anything wrong is very problematic
They prefer to avoid making a choice (like Lac-c)

Appearance, Fragility
(in Lac-c—giving too much, servile)
In Lac-f you see more fragility (like Silica) (the master say think Lac-f is Silica doesn’t
work)

Pain—Penetrating
Violating their inner space
Over defensive strategy in order to avoid penetration
Lac felinum Sycotic, a bit Tubercular

Like in Silica salts—similar fears of pointed

things, spears, needles
This penetration might affect their eyes (a fear)
They need to avoid injuring their eyes
To be blind is the WORST dependence
You have to be back in the cage of your family
forever
The pains go from piercing to cramping,
squeezing

Depression
Something is unavoidable (not with periodicity
like with lac-c)
Suffering is an issue which cannot be avoided
Lots of symptoms of photophobia
To protect their eyes is very important

Can be very athletic

Can need this for competition

Physicals
Stye, problems with eyes
Men: Enuresis, prostate problems
(end Massimo)

Prostitute
cats are considered the prostitutes of the animals of the domestic world
giving up independence, freedom, self-respect for protection & material resources
Issue of Self-respect
often a woman's remedy
would marry for protection/material things but feel bad about it, which comes out of an issue of
self-respect less than morals
also feel stupid
strong fear of being laughed at; they can't stand it because it is humiliating
Nothing against my will
aversion to doing anything against her will

Sexuality
I want it the way I want it
I don’t understand myself, when he wants to get sexual, I just want to push him away
Sex: Aversion on someone else’s terms
Desire if it’s on their terms
Tubercular aspect
Wanting to travel, Wants to leave home
To escape from those people as wanting to trap her
Lac felinum Sycotic, a bit Tubercular

Ambivalence to themselves
Allergies to cats, Love of cats
will also talk about being dirty, hating
themselves, being revolted by themselves
Clairvoyance

esp. when it relates in importance to them
Need for precision, Fastidious (in reaction
to turmoil/chaos inside)

level – (Ars)
A defense against this chaoticness inside esp of
feeling trapped

Creating order
Very fastidious (like cats)
Also desire to flee (Tub response)
Every paper clip in right place

feel like they're not confident on their own to provide for themselves
outpowered, helpless and angry

Appear Aloof
'don't let the cat out of the bag' ! don’t want to express what they feel

Teasing, Playing with Men’s Affection

the state is most easily seen in teenage girls
get a great deal of amusement just out of playing with people's affection

Lac-Felinum
Lac felinum Sycotic, a bit Tubercular

Has been domesticated

Not dangerous
Has need for space, self-esteem like bigger cats
Took an in between route, kept independence, self-esteem, and ego
And allowed itself to be domesticated
They only walk into the house when hungry or need sleep
The cat has to decide
Once the cat is okay with this, then…
The cat laid the rules and it follows, then it allows you to pet
When it doesn’t like the petting, it will jump out of your lap
SPACE
EGO
You need that protection
On other hand – you still call the shots
Maintain you individuality – aggression
You can use me, but I will still decide who will use me

CASE – LAC-F
IBS
Severe headaches
Very bubbly very sweet
Never allows me to take consultation further
It’s such a difficult world outside, its so terriorizing I need my husband
He give me my freedom
I tell husband – look this is my time
Goes to gym for 2 hours
He allows her to do what she wants to do
Didn’t realize she wasn’t jewish, husband was
Happy to have dominance of husband, within this has own space
Freedom
If not having freedom, totally constricted and cornered
When husband home all day long
I want to scream and get out the house
You’re taking away my space
Like my claws, I want to get out
I need my husband, I can’t be on my own, but i can’t do what he wants
He knows I have to have my space
She’s given up her name for him
I decide when i get up in morning
I decide what to make for the party
I decide…
(this is how she handles her independence)
(she gives into dominance because of vulnerability, but maintains independence)
Cats
You think you are a master
But they are taking you for a ride

****
CASE – Lac-F
All alone and different
Dream: wants to be Nelson Mandella
Freedom fighters
Fought for the rights of people
He rose to such fame
Fame = different from the rest
He was one of the group – then rose up
Lac felinum Sycotic, a bit Tubercular

He was guy that he could do what he wanted

What I want to do
I need my friends circle – I need them
I want to be friends, yet I want a mind of my own
I don’t like to be treated like this
I don’t want them to look at me I have these blisters
I want to look at me like I’m Nelson Mandella
I want to be different, part of them, yet won independent identity
Being in class and yet different
I love cats
The cats decide
Then won’t decide for me
I will decide and set myself apart from them
(Mom)
So independent
Own ideas
Yet will want all of us to approve
