-Have a reputation for ferocity and your inability to be manipulated

-Just because you're a strong, independent-minded spirit doesn't make you "mean"

-Notice details others tend to gloss over, yet might not see the more obvious; you take in the big picture

Fortunes for the leopard cat soul:

-"Remove your attention from what you don't want so that you can focus your full attention on what you do want."

-"What you resist, persists. If you are thinking about being anti-war, or anti-terrorism, or anti-cruelty or anti-fill-in-the-blank, you are thinking about the negative things that you don't want, but that very concentration on the negative is what brings it into reality. The secret to getting what you want is to concentrate on the positive and think pro-peace, pro-security, pro-compassion, pro-fill-in-the-blank and that is what will become your world."
