Ernie, the cat, was acting out. General feline feistiness had escalated into something more akin to cat scratch fever. Normal behavior modification was getting nowhere. As a last desperate act, pet owner and artist Kathy High sought the aid of an animal communicator, Dawn Hayman, from Spring Farm, New York. At the upstate animal sanctuary, a herd of aspiring interspecies telepaths are honing their skills, becoming one with an array of barnyard beasts-horses, sheep, cats, chickens, and a llama that “communicates” in English, seemingly without an accent. For her part, Ms. Hayman is in constant mediation, communing with many a creature great and small. High is there too, camcorder in hand, recording these strange goings-on between people and pets, relationships that fly in the face (or is that snout?) of human discourse. E-i-e-i-o! Purrfectly perched between bemusement and belief, Animal Attraction comes across like an episode of Mr. Ed Meets The Psychic Network.
