Well this sucks

<I did not know I could send thoughts like this,> Tobias said. <Just like the Andalite.>
"I guess it only works when you're . . . morphed."
I am talking to a cat! I realized. And I thought Tobias was crazy?
[color=yellow]I wondered if Tobias had heard my thought. I concentrated. Tobias, can you hear me?
<Yeah,> he said. <I hear you.>
"Did you hear my thoughts before that?" I asked.
<No. I don't think it works that way. You have to think at me for me to hear. Hey, watch
this.>[/color]
Suddenly Tobias leaped through the air. He pounced precisely on an autographed baseball
that was lying in the corner. Maybe a four-foot jump.
<That is so excellent! Hey, pull a string for me to chase.>
"Pull a string? Why?"
<Because it's so fun!>

Just pulled that from "Invasion" Book 1, Chapter 8

Seems we can Telepathically communicate if  as Tobias says We think at the other while they are in animal form

At least I believe that's what I am reading 

Sorry I thought I remembered it as working that way and when Holly made the point 
Oh, and don't forget that <Thought Speech> has range to it... ;)))

I assumed there had been some sort of connection
