[0:02]this little kitten right here has a
[0:04]story that only she
[0:07]knows there only we can speculate
[0:12]about I know that she had a sibling I
[0:14]learned that from my
[0:16]neighbors I know that sibling was here
[0:18]with her right here on this campsite
[0:22]while I was at the Natural Bridge last
[0:24]week I know that sibling isn't here
[0:28]now which means she could be going
[0:30]through some
[0:32]grief we know that she's only 6 weeks
[0:37]old then she has four kinds of
[0:40]parasites meeting away the oxygen in her
[0:43]body which tells me that she was out
[0:47]there looking for food anywhere she
[0:49]could find it eating things that were
[0:51]not good for her just to keep herself
[0:55]alive I know that she was very
[1:01]um careful about contacting me it took
[1:05]several days she observed me from my
[1:09]neighbor's golf cart where she had a
[1:11]vantage point where she felt safe and
[1:14]that tells me that other humans here on
[1:16]this Campground weren't very nice to
[1:20]her everything in life is a system and
[1:23]all you have to do is look a little
[1:26]closer you can expand on that
[1:31]that
[1:31]abandonment is another system in our
[1:34]lives that we're not doing enough about
[1:37]or the fact
[1:38]that Luna encountered other humans I
[1:41]know for a fact that she encountered my
[1:43]neighbors I know my neighbors told me
[1:46]that they saw both of them here they
[1:48]also told me that there were people at
[1:51]my RV looking through my windows while I
[1:53]was at the nro
[1:54]bridge nobody helped these pets they
[1:58]just left them out there and one of them
[2:00]is missing
[2:03]now there are interconnections
[2:06]everywhere in life if we just look for
[2:08]them if we're just willing to pay
[2:10]attention every system has Ripple
[2:12]effects Luna is now a part of my life a
[2:15]part of Bailey's life her life is better
[2:18]off because she's with me my life is
[2:20]better off because because she's with me
[2:24]I think she's going to be great for
[2:26]Bailey who doesn't have Oliver anymore I
[2:29]think this little cat's going to want to
[2:31]cuddle with Bailey and play with him and
[2:33]he's going to feel less alone it's going
[2:36]to take some time but I do believe that
[2:38]will
[2:42]happen it's important to think about
[2:45]these things it's also important to
[2:47]acknowledge what we don't know it's
[2:49]called the uncertainty principle in
[2:51]systems thinking I don't know her story
[2:54]I am speculating based on the facts that
[2:56]I have available to me I never reached
[2:59]solid conclusions on things I I imagine
[3:03]the
[3:04]possibilities and from if you use like a
[3:06]holistic approach there you tend to come
[3:09]pretty close I think that I probably
[3:12]have her story down pretty
[3:13]well we can also look at the time
[3:16]dimension of her life because of how it
[3:18]has started for her the struggles she
[3:21]may have in the future as a result of
[3:24]it she may she she's going to have Str
[3:28]she could have stunted growth she could
[3:30]have issues with her digestive system
[3:32]she could have she could have emotional
[3:35]issues as a result of losing her sibling
[3:38]if it was a traumatic experience that's
[3:41]one thing that we can only speculate
[3:42]about I've been trying to find this
[3:46]sibling I've been asking about her
[3:49]sibling you know
[3:51]and these things matter and I and it's
[3:57]like that's where my mind has been since
[4:00]since the moment I got her while she's
[4:03]been in that that that enclosed space to
[4:07]keep her safe to keep my other cat safe
[4:09]to keep me safe I've been thinking about
[4:11]her
[4:12]life Luna also shows adaptive Behavior
[4:18]she she is alive right now because of
[4:21]her adaptability her resilience is a
[4:24]result of a system that she has within
[4:27]her that allowed her
[4:31]to adapt to the this
[4:35]campground to perceive threats and you
[4:39]know friend and foe like
[4:42]me to ask for help when she needed it I
[4:47]lived in an apartment once where a stray
[4:50]cat showed up and I started feeding that
[4:52]cat before I knew it probably within a
[4:55]month there were like six or seven of
[4:57]them it was wild and un expected and it
[5:01]really made me think about those systems
[5:04]somebody abandoned a cat in an apartment
[5:07]complex and that apartment complex did
[5:10]not have a policy for dealing with a
[5:13]problem like that they actually got mad
[5:15]at me for feeding these animals saying
[5:17]it was against my elas I said I'm not
[5:18]going to just let them starve to death
[5:20]out there
[5:22]they because people abandon their pets
[5:26]and I imagine it probably happens at a
[5:28]at a higher likelihood within an
[5:30]apartment complex every apartment
[5:32]complex should have a policy in place
[5:35]for dealing with that and I think that's
[5:38]probably to for True for cam crowns too
[5:40]right
[5:43]so these are issues that you can if
[5:46]you're looking at everything as a system
[5:49]you can see where those systems are
[5:51]failing I only have one point to this
[5:53]video and that is just to ask you to
[5:55]just look a little bit closer at
[5:57]everything in your life it's what I do
[6:00]all the time and it is what has allowed
[6:03]me
[6:05]to become the person I
[6:08]am I couldn't abandoned her like
[6:11]everybody else on this Campground
[6:13]did and she is going to enrich my
[6:18]life and I'm going to enrich
[6:21]hers I could take this a lot further I
[6:24]don't actually believe in the cat
[6:26]distribution system because that's just
[6:28]a cutesy way of hiding a darker
[6:31]truth these kittens and cats they suffer
[6:35]in silence and indifference and some of
[6:39]them are just the
[6:40]lucky Luna is lucky there is no cat
[6:44]distribution
[6:47]system it is a way for that itself is a
[6:51]system it is a way for
[6:54]society to make a
[6:56]problem sound like it's not as bad as it
[6:59]really
[7:01]is and the last thing I'll say is a no
[7:03]system is perfect this little kitten
[7:05]here is going to cause me all kinds of
[7:07]stress and you know forc me to adapt my
[7:11]lifestyle and do all kinds of things I
[7:13]mean already I've had to make a lot of
[7:15]adaptations I had to miss my dentist
[7:17]appointment today I need to empty my
[7:19]tanks but I just feel that she is too
[7:21]fragile for me to
[7:23]be um putting her through the stress of
[7:25]that
[7:27]situation you know
[7:31]she's going to grow up I know this one
[7:33]has tortitude which I think is hilarious
[7:35]and and
[7:36]lovable but will also be a source of
[7:39]stress for me and probably a source of
[7:41]stress for Bailey too at times
[7:45]and you know that's what it means to
[7:47]look at systems you see the good and you
[7:49]see the
[7:51]bad and I guess that's more nistic
[7:53]thinking that's probably my
[7:55]non-dualistic side but I mean they they
[7:57]applies to both
[8:00]anyway go do some good in the world
[8:01]please it's really important just do
[8:04]some good
