Fatboy is a golden retriever with her own internet site – Fatboy’s owner claims the pooch is psychic and can predict how stocks and shares will perform. Of course, with Wall Street on the skids, stockbroking canines don’t need second sight to read the future: any puppy can see that most stocks are set to slide.

I’m often asked whether animals have paranormal powers, or if their uncanny knack for reading our minds really relies on highly–tuned instincts. I believe animals do have psychic abilities – and, more importantly, they use them. Our pets listen to their intuitions. We don’t: humans filter out messages from the sub-conscious, and deny the evidence of our sixth sense. Animals don’t know that the paranormal is scientifically impossible, so they pay no attention to sceptics. No-one ever laughed at a cat for backing its hunches, but a human who invokes intuition in business, at home or even out shopping is likely to face sneers from friends and colleagues. Clearly, it’s cool to be a cat! We must learn from our pets. Give in to your animal side, and get psychic.
