But then again there is an infinite difference between a shrink and a psychic. A psychic is tuned into subtle energy that we all transmit and receive. Basically, we're all born with a decent amount of talent in recognizing and interpreting this subtle energy, but it essentially atrophies at an early age because parents and others stifle its development.

Some of those who have a strong enough natural ability (or who have rebuilt their sentiency) are more in tune with non-human animals. They are the ones who become horse whisperers, pet psychics, etc. I suspect that Ojaitimo's pet psychic is one such person. Hopefully, she's not a "Miss Cleo" from the "Psychic Friends Network."

Shrinks, on the other hand, are doctors, which means they made it through med school, got their credentials, hung up their shingles, and can prescribe drugs. I suspect that pet shrinks are more along the lines of Miss Cleos.
