Discover why It’s not about the Cat through the lens of a tiny skateboarding kitten and her human bond. This young kitten displays remarkable balance and confidence while riding her board for the first time. Her journey began in the kitchen, where she initially jumped on the board while her owners moved it. Eventually, her owners took her to a local skate park to explore her natural curiosity and growing skills. The video showcases a deep, special bond that exists between this kitten and her creative owners.
The idea that “It’s Not About the Cat” suggests that the animal’s behavior is often a reflection of the human’s actions and the bond between them. Just as in the book “It’s Not About the Horse,” which emphasizes that horse training is more about the trainer’s self-awareness and communication, the same can be said for our feline friends.
The kitten featured in the video is showing extraordinary balance and confidence on a skateboard for the first time [00:00]. The kitten’s journey began at home in the kitchen, where she would jump on the board while it was being moved [00:17]. Eventually, her owners took her to a skate park [00:44], where she loved it and showed off her skills. The video showcases the special bond between the kitten and her owners [00:51]. You can see her in action in the video below:
Mimicry in the Moment
Mimicry is a powerful tool for connection. When you mimic a cat’s movements or sounds, you are communicating in their language. In the video, the kitten’s interest in skateboarding likely began by watching her owners. This “mimicry in the moment” creates a shared experience and builds trust.
Mimicking the Person
Interestingly, cats often mimic their owners as well. If an owner is calm and adventurous, the cat is more likely to mirror those traits. The kitten in the video is brave and curious, perhaps reflecting the energy of her “pro skater” owners. This mutual mimicry strengthens the bond and allows for unique activities like skateboarding.
Imprinting on the Cat (and Horse)
Imprinting is a form of learning that occurs at a young age, where an animal forms a strong attachment to another being. In this context, the cat (or horse) may be “imprinted on” by the human, but the human also imprints on the animal. This deep connection allows the human to almost “become” the animal in spirit, understanding its needs and reactions intuitively.
By combining mimicry and imprinting, we move beyond just “training” an animal. We enter a state of co-existence where the boundaries between human and animal blur, leading to the incredible feats and deep bonds we see in the video.
Magnetism Between Living Things
Neural Electricity and Ion Flow
Neural Electricity: This section explains how moving ions in the brain create real electrical currents.
Every thought you have starts as an electrical signal. Neurons fire action potentials to communicate with each other. These signals are movements of ions across cell membranes. In physics, any moving charge constitutes an electrical current. This current flows through the intricate wiring of your nervous system. Consequently, you are essentially a complex network of biological circuits. Understanding this flow is the first step toward mapping the mind.
Magnetic Fields Beyond the Skull
Field Extension: Explore how these currents generate magnetic fields that exist outside the physical head.
Physics teaches us that electricity and magnetism are inseparable. A magnetic field always surrounds a flowing electrical current.
This phenomenon occurs in every wire and every living neuron. The brain acts like a collection of tiny electromagnets. These fields do not stop at the skull. Instead, they extend into the immediate environment around you. We can measure these fields with sensitive instruments like magnetometers.
A skeptic might reasonably argue that such fields are far too weak to influence perception in any direct way. That may well be true. Still, the question opens a space worth exploring, particularly when we consider how often people report sensing something before it is outwardly expressed.
Fluctuating Waves and Bio-Resonance
Fluctuating Resonance: Understand how changing brain patterns create a dynamic “vibe” that others might perceive.
Your brain activity is never a static or constant flow. It fluctuates constantly based on your thoughts and emotions. These changes create a fluctuating magnetic field. A changing field can induce effects in nearby conductive materials. This includes the nervous systems of other living beings. Furthermore, we are essentially broadcasting our internal state through these fields. This creates a bridge for non-verbal communication and resonance.
The Physics of Whispering
Subconscious Energy Exchange: See how these magnetic signals apply to the “it’s not about the horse” philosophy.
Could these fields be the secret to horse whispering? Horses are highly sensitive to subtle environmental changes. They might perceive the magnetic fluctuations of your internal state. When you calm your mind, your magnetic signal changes. This shift happens before you move a single muscle. The animal reacts to the “field” you are projecting. This creates a shared space of bio-magnetic resonance. It aligns with the idea that “it’s not about the horse”.
Quantum Physics and the Cat Connection
Quantum physics suggests that everything is energy and nothing is truly separate. Brain waves can be measured with magnets without physical contact, implying that thoughts exist beyond the physical head within a connected field. This theory proposes that humans store memories and thoughts in a “cloud” or a personal Wi-Fi field rather than just internally. Bio-fields interact during in-person meetings, creating a shared frequency that differs from digital interactions. Managing this energy and life force can direct how thoughts manifest in physical reality. Meditation may lead to manifestation by correcting these frequency signals to influence body physiology. The speaker shares a personal experience where physical and mental overwhelm led to an autoimmune-like state. Recovery involved listening to the body’s needs through extreme simplification, specific nutrition, and meditation. You can view the full discussion here:
Connections to “It’s Not About the Cat”
The concepts in this video align closely with the themes of mimicry and imprinting we explored.
- The Shared Wi-Fi Field: The video’s mention of interacting bio-fields explains why mimicry is so effective. When you mimic a cat or horse, you are essentially tuning into their “Wi-Fi” frequency. This shared energy field creates the foundation for the deep bond where “it’s not about the cat,” but about the resonance between two beings.
- Imprinting as Frequency Alignment: Imprinting can be seen as the process of “correcting the frequency signal” to match another. When a human imprints on an animal, they are not just learning behaviors; they are aligning their life force with that of the animal. This creates the intuitive, non-verbal understanding that defines a high-level partnership.
- Energy Precedes Action: The speaker notes that energy comes before conscious thought. In training and companionship, the animal often reacts to your energy before you even move. By maintaining your own “Wi-Fi” field, you influence the animal’s reality, making the relationship a reflection of your internal state.
- Non-Separation in Bonding: The idea that nothing is separate reinforces the concept of “being the cat.” If thoughts and energy are part of a greater field, then the distinction between the “trainer” and the “animal” becomes a fragment of a larger, unified experience.
Nothing is Truly Separate
By recognizing that nothing is truly separate, the whisperer can “become” the horse in spirit, creating a unified field where communication happens subconsciously through these interacting electrical currents.
Quantum physics reveals that our thoughts are essentially energy, generating brain waves that can be measured by magnets without physical contact. This suggests that our mental activity exists within a “cloud” or a personal Wi-Fi field rather than being confined strictly to our heads. When two beings interact in person, their bio-fields overlap, allowing for a direct exchange of low-level frequencies.
This shared electromagnetic field appears to be a fundamental, subconscious component of horse whispering. Rather than relying on physical coercion, whispering focuses on the clarity of the signal and the establishment of trust to preserve the animal’s willingness. By consciously managing your own energy and “correcting the frequency signal,” you can influence the physical reality and physiology of the being you are interacting with.
