- 5. Preliminary Activity (Mood Setting) Cat Got Your Tongue (KOKOLOGY) A dog may be man's best friend, but a cat always seems to be its own best friend. You may love them or hate them, but cats have shared as long a history with us humans as any species of animal on earth, and it's safe to say that they'll be around for ages to come. We all have our individual perceptions about the cat. Which of the following four phrases strikes closest to the image you hold? 1. Basking in the sun. 2. Mysterious and inscrutable. 3. Pleasantly soft to the touch. 4. A companionless creature.
- 6. The description you selected as applying best to cats reveals the nature of your own true self, in its positive and negative aspects. 1. Basking in the sun. In describing the catlike activity, rather than the cat itself, you show sensitivity toward the natural actions of things within their environments. This makes you an accepting and easily acceptable person, capable of getting along well with everyone you meet. 2. Mysterious and inscrutable. You instinctively choose to describe the cat in terms of its personality, almost as if it were human. Your true inner self is a kaleidoscope, changing and renewing itself constantly. This makes predicting your behavior an endlessly intriguing challenge to the people who love you, but more trouble than you're worth to those who do not know you.
- 7. 3. Pleasantly soft to the touch. To you, the cat presents itself as a physical object, defined specifically in terms of how it affects you. You see the world as something created to serve you. This tendency may manifest itself as an aura of calm self-assurance or simply as excessive self- involvement. 4. A companionless creature. You define the cat in social terms, showing the emphasis you place on the role of the individual within (or apart from) the group. You are most deeply attuned to the emotional and social realms, making you appear caring, warm, and genuinely concerned about others.
