Using telepathy
Lauren believes that cats are emotional beings. To get the cat out of her home, she attempted to direct it using her mind. She repeatedly sent positive thoughts its way and kept telling it where the exit was in her mind.
She fluttered her eyes passively and tried to calm the beast down with telepathic attempts when it stared at her. Then, miraculously, it worked–the cougar stopped to look at itself in the mirror for a moment before dashing towards the open door leading outside.
