Hello Kitty, our reflector cat

Did you know that animals have a Human Design chart, too? I resisted the idea for a long time, even though I had fully integrated Human Design into my life. But that is how I work, with my defined crown chakra: I have a mental resistance towards anything new that I can not logically understand. But after contemplating for a while, I decided to dive a little deeper into Human Design for animals.

But first, meet Kitty!

She is a 10-year-old Siberian cat who, funnily enough, hates snow, rain, and windy weather. We say that it is because she was born in Kristiansand, a small town in the most southern part of Norway, known for its long and nice summers. While they also have snow during winter, it reminds nothing of good old Siberia in Russia, where the breed comes from.

Anyway, ever since Kitty moved in with us over 10 years ago, she has been very different from all the other cats we have had over the years. Not only that, she does not like the long, wet, cold, and sometimes snowy winters we have here at Sola, just like her owner. But how she is around us two-legged creatures, is also very different from the other cats that have shared residence with us.

Whenever we have a headache, a tummy ache, feel sad, or when we have fractured bones (yes, in plural, because we tend to draw sporting casualties towards us), she will come and lie down on us, preferably on top of where the wound is.

When I came home from the hospital with the fractured arm in January, which the doctor had hours before pulled into place (which hurt like hell, to be completely honest), Kitty got very frustrated when I could not allow her to lie on top of the cast. We came to an agreement that she could lie next to my arm, and she quietly went along with it, displaying that this was not her selected or preferred place to heal me from.

Out of curiosity, I looked up her bodygraph chart, and it was no surprise to me that Kitty is a Reflector energy type cat.

A Reflector is here to mirror other beings' energy, and they know what others need to feel better. They are very wise, intuitive, empathic, and sensitive beings who sense others' energies. Kitty has also gate 57, the gate of Intuition, in two placements in her chart. She has inner wisdom and just knows. And unlike us humans who tend to ignore when gate 57 gives us subtle signs from our spleens, Kitty will instinctively react to whatever gate 57 gives her of wisdom.

Needless to say, all Reflectors need a lot of sleep and unwinding to free themselves from all the energies they take in daily. When they are in balance, they are grateful, and on the opposite end, they will be very disappointed if they are in their not-self.

And I can tell you that no one gets as disappointed as Kitty if we can not give her what she wants, like instant cuddles when we are in a digital meeting from home, or fresh food, even though she already has food available to her. While other cats have been irritated, angry, sad, or just gone along without objecting, Kitty goes into a full disappointment mood.

She has gate 38, the gate of the warrior, both in her March and Pluto planetary placement, which is not a shock to me either. If a cat has 9 lives, Kitty is now on her 10th. At least. You would not believe what she has managed to survive over the years. Even the vet is surprised by all that she manages to pull through.

This includes eating a rubber hose from a gas tank where the chewed-off pieces blocked her intestine, which again caused a leak into her belly. She barely survived the surgery.

And last summer, she was stuck in an old garage for 22 days without food or water. Our whole neighborhood looked for her. She did not come forward until I followed my gate 57 and listened to what it was telling me, and asked the garage owner if I could come myself and search the garage even though he had already done it. After a few calls out, I heard a little cry. She barely survived, once again, but she pulled through.

The gate of the warrior also shows in her need to protect those she loves. When we had 5 little chickens roaming around in our backyard, Kitty was the one to guard them. She knew they belonged to our pack, and she did not try to hunt them down, which she sometimes does with the birds living in our garden. Kitty protected the chicks with claws out in the most fierce way, and should someone from the outside come to grab a little snack-to-go, she was there to chase them away, no matter their size.

Her communication style, which shows in her Mercury placement, is gate 50, which is the gate of Values. This gate is all about caring from a place of morals and values. Everyone contributes to the tribe with whatever resources they have available. Her gate 50 pairs up with my gate 27, so together we form the channel of caring. And we do care about our tribe of loved ones, and we will defend them with all we have.

Whenever we go on a trip and leave her at home with supervision, Kitty still always feels left out of the tribe and is utterly disappointed that we are leaving her behind, even though she hates to come along whenever we bring her.

When she is in balance, she shows her value of bonding through cuddling as a way of communicating her appreciation towards us. But when we return from a trip, and she was not invited to come along, she will be on the shadow side for days when we return home. She shows us that she does not feel valued at all. Luckily, she warms up in the end and is happy to cuddle in front of the TV, but it could take days.

Even though all animals have personalities, just like us human beings, it has been an eye-opener to me to get to know Kitty’s design.

She is the first Reflector I get to know, because they are a very rare energy type, only 1% of the population is a Reflector. This is much like the Mental Projector, which is also only 1% of the population. So, no wonder that Kitty ended up with us. Our family consists of one Manifestor, one Manifesting Generator, two Mental Projectors, and one Reflector. It is no surprise to me that most of us need to clean out energies from our surroundings every night before we tuck in.
