Have you ever looked lovingly into your pet’s eyes and thought, “I wonder what’s going on in that little head of yours?” For dog owners, we might envision our pups thinking about a tennis ball, the food that’s on our plate, or whether the mysterious monster that sucks up all the dirt on the rug will make its appearance again. If you’re a cat owner, you might jokingly bet they’re plotting your downfall. The latter may not be far from the truth, if this pet psychic is to be believed.
Lori Cowen (@loricowen_) is an animal communicator whose TikTok presence of 61,000 followers was earned from recounting her sessions with pets. She lets pet owners know their furry friends’ innermost thoughts—for a fee, of course.
Her viral videos are often of her sharing a dog or cat’s excited musings. Her latest video to hit 1.8 million views, however, was not the pawsitive (sorry) content many have come to expect.
“So this was the worst animal communication session that I’ve ever done,” Cowen begins her clip. She continues that she “hated” talking to this animal and is only sharing the story after getting permission from the owner.
Evil cat
Cowen says she “connected” with a cat named Dolly, whose session was cut short when Cowen couldn’t take any more of the cat’s sinister thoughts. She rebooked the session for the following day, but it wasn’t any better.
In the clip, she reads some of the things Dolly told her during their session. A lot of the kitty’s thoughts were around the theme of being “evil.”
“‘There’s a fire burning inside me,’” Dolly allegedly told Cowen. When prompted to elaborate, Dolly said, “I feel like a caged demon ready to be let out and pounce.”
Dolly then proceeded to reveal that she has “good and evil” in her and that she can be “sinister.”
“‘I can be a bad cat sometimes, a very bad cat,’” Cowen relays. “‘And I can do bad things.’”
Cowen recounts how Dolly shared that doing “bad things” makes her happy and listed ways she enjoys being bad.
When Cowen asked Dolly whether there’s anything her family can do to help her feelings, Dolly allegedly replied, “A lobotomy.” She then continued that that’s just who she is as a cat and that she’s fine with it.
Feelings about her family
At this point, Cowen asked Dolly how she feels about her mom. Dolly responded that her mom is “terrible” and that she’s disgusting.
“‘She needs to shower and take better care of herself,’” Dolly told Cowen. “She makes bad choices sometimes … I judge her for the choices she makes.”
Dolly then said she judges “all humans.”
“‘You’re despicable people, all of you,’” Dolly told Cowen. Still fishing for something positive about the mom, Cowen finally gets Dolly to admit that her mom is “decent and kind” despite her terrible decisions.
Dolly then accused her mom of “hurting people” because she is unhappy. Eventually, Dolly reveals she loves her family but also hates them. In her hate tirade, Dolly insulted her grandparents and her cat siblings before sharing that she does love her family “despite how I may sound.”
Dolly then ended the session early by giving Cowen the middle finger and walking away, not wanting to continue the conversation with Cowen any longer.
What did her mom think of Dolly’s session?
After receiving the recording of Dolly’s session, the pet owner said it made her “laugh out loud” and confirmed that Dolly’s nickname is “demon cat.” As a nurse who works night shifts, the mom said it made sense that Dolly said she needed to shower despite showering twice a day. This could also be the reason Dolly accused her of “hurting” people, the mom said. She then revealed some of the “bad choices” Dolly was referring to.
“I’m sorry you hated [the session], but it genuinely made sense to me,” the mom told Cowen, adding that even flipping her off at the end was a very “Australian way” to end the conversation.
In the end, Cowen reiterated that she hated the session and hopes never to do one like that again.
Viewers think this is typical of cats
In Cowen’s comments section, folks were tickled by Dolly and were certain this was just par for the course when it comes to cats.
“I’m sorry you’re so distressed by this I can’t stop laughing,” a top comment read. Another simply pointed out, “The concept of a cat knowing what a lobotomy is.”
A third user said Dolly wasn’t evil but simply “hurting” while a fourth wrote, “she can’t have a little demonic feeling??”
Still, many were intrigued by the concept of a pet psychic. Cowen currently has a waitlist for folks who must know what their pet is thinking–and yes, that goes for any pet.

How does Cowen communicate with animals?
On her website, Cowen writes that she’s always had a deep connection to animals. She fostered this connection into being able to communicate with them. Now, she can speak with your pets–living or dead.
If you email Cowen, you’ll receive a breakdown of what her services, which cost $200 per pet, entail.
She selects her clients from the waitlist on the first of every month. From there, Cowen “speaks” with the animal remotely through a photograph you provide. Then, the recording is sent to you.
“Your animal doesn’t need to be present while I do the session or even awake…all of that doesn’t matter,” her email reads. It also doesn’t need to know “English” as they are translated to her.
Cowen isn’t the first animal communicator to go viral on TikTok. Recently, there’s been a surge of viral videos from pet owners sharing their cats’ thoughts after they were read by an animal communicator. This has led pet parents to clamber over getting to know their furry children’s feelings, hence Cowen’s waitlist.
