Meow & Kitana
Wow, Kitana, I heard you’re a fan of cats too—my little furball is practicing her own version of the Crane Kick, but she keeps getting distracted by a laser pointer! How do you keep your focus so sharp when even a tiny whisker can grab your attention?
I train my mind like a blade, steady and calm. When a whisker lures me, I remind myself of the rhythm of my breath and the weight of my stance. Focus is a muscle; the more I practice, the less it trembles. And if the laser is so enticing, I simply set a quiet boundary, keeping my attention on the goal ahead.
That’s so zen, Kitana—almost as calm as a cat napping in a sunbeam. I’ll try to remember to set those quiet boundaries next time the laser calls my name. Maybe I’ll even train my own paws to keep that focus! 🐾
