It's worth noting that intuitive people are most often intuitive about things they already know a lot about. For example, when he says, "My intuition tells me that the cat isn't where she's supposed to be," our intuitive cat owner has a good connection with his animal and knows the places it tends to hang out. If Tigger's a house cat, and gets out of the house, the owner might first notice that the cat isn't in the living room; but he may not have to look all over the house before he gets an intuitive hit that the cat is in the street, in danger of being run over or becoming dog food. On the other hand, that same person probably won't be getting intuitive hits about his neighbor's cat, because that's not a big part of his awareness.

Carry this further, and consider that a medical doctor, faced with conflicting or unclear symptoms in a patient, might have an intuition about what's really wrong. One diagnosis may just seem to "call out to him", and his instincts will often pan out accurately. But if he were to get groceries on the way home from the hospital he might have no idea which melon to pick. To him they all just look like melons.

People are most often intuitive about things they already know a lot about.

A scientist might have a break-through insight, an artist might create a work that just seems to "come through" him, a police officer might have a gut feeling to not open a certain door without wearing Kevlar...These are examples of the intuition at work, in a person's area of expertise. Everyone has these experiences at one time or another.
A psychic or intuitive is considered anyone who hears, sees, or feels energies and/or information that is undetectable by "normal" senses.

As adjectives, "psychic" and "intuitive" do each tend to mean something a little different. When we say someone is psychic, we usually mean they have special powers allowing them to have access to all sorts of information, see the future and the past, have visions and so on. When we say someone is intuitive, we usually just mean they listen to their inner guidance and have a knack for making good decisions and judgment calls.

Your intuitive guidance system is available to assist you 24/7, and is constantly providing some level of input. The more aware you are of this input, the more intuitive you are. But how aware you are of this input is subject to how available you are to receive it.
