I’ve got a “feral” kitty from last fall who was supposed to be pregnant but just turned out to be full figured. And not that feral.
Yes, she was super shy when she got here and was content hiding in her private room for a while, but lately she’s been venturing out and getting curious about the rest of the household.
Normally when a cat meets new dogs and cats face to face for the first time, it can be a little uncomfortable. Some growling and hissing wouldn’t be unusual.
But this kitty (who I’ve been calling Miss Bee) is doing a very different routine …
She meets everyone with nothing but friendliness and curiosity no matter what they’re bringing.
She’s not intimidated, she doesn’t get upset, even when they loom over her (Samson) or smell her butt (Samson again) or charge at her (that’s the momma cat in the room next door) or swat at her head (momma cat again) or hiss in her face (every other cat in the house).
She just takes it in stride, and doesn’t lose her friendly demeanor. She keeps meeting everyone and every thing with positive expectation.
At first I thought I had to protect her because she didn’t know to retreat, but it turns out she doesn’t have to.
Because she’s disarming everyone! When she doesn’t react to their challenging actions or behaviors, they soften to her. They yield their fierceness and either ignore her or relax about her.
It’s such a cool example of how to “own the room” vibrationally, as Abraham advises. Don’t let anyone else dictate your mood.
That’s why she’s my latest role model about how to stay grounded in good vibrations even when the rest of the world isn’t. I want to be that kind of unflappable. That kind of insistent on expecting good things from others and the world in general.
The next time someone’s trying to rile me up, or I’m looking at something that seems like I should respond with heat, I’m going to remember Miss Bee and do it a different way.
Maybe she’ll inspire you, too. 🙂
