Greetings!
One of the perks of membership in the Bold Kitten Community is that you have access to my Guide, Lady Coco.
So now seems like a good time to introduce her and explain why having contact with her is a Good Thing.
Lady Coco is a Soul & a Guide, by which I mean that she is an pan-dimensional being who chooses to help out physical plane beings such as humans. And in her case, she has had lives here on Earth, both as human and other, most notably for our purposes here as a Siamese cat named Coconut.
Coconut was a Lilac-point Siamese ex-show-cat, who was well aware that humans found her beautiful.
For those who remembered to follow Earth-cat Protocol, she was friendly, tho’ not familiar.
To those who did not, she had a long memory and short patience.
For us, however, she treated us with a combination of friendliness and the demand to be adored & pampered, which Mike & I were quite happy to go along with.
I fell hard and when she died after a long illness (before her final illness, she’d had at least one extension granted from Elsewhere), I was devastated to say the least. :>
I spent several years after that in pain & depression from losing her, from losing my Mom, from losing our other kitty, Simba, all in a span of about six months.
I’m not remembering now exactly how it happened, that time is a bit of a blur, but I do remember two things: one, I was told that I would see Coconut again within a couple of years and two, I learned to channel.
I knew she was there as a Guide from before I took formal classes, as I requested her for my first formal Guide.
And things went on from there to here.
One other quick thing before I turn things over to Lady Coco: Coconut as a show-kitty was a momma-cat. :>
So when it comes to kittens, she knows her stuff!

Question: What qualities of a bold kitten should humans attempt to emulate?
Lady Coco: The qualities of a kitten, bold or otherwise, that it is helpful to emulate are first & foremost those of Play.
They are not afraid to make mistakes, to look silly, to do something wrong.
They go out, they try something. If they succeed, great.Sometimes there is no-one more surprised than they when they succeed.
If they don’t succeed, they get up, they try again.
No big deal.
They don’t worry about how others will perceive them. (They save that for later in life. As do humans. Something to think about. Can you preserve that childlike desire to Explore?)
They don’t beat themselves up for not getting it right the first time. (Tho’ they do occasionally let their tails start things, but that’s another show. )
They maintain an attitude of Play.
Everything is a Game.
Everything is a potential toy.
EVERYTHING!
(yes, indeed, I am speaking a little bit in my former-to-you role as a physical-plane MommaCat.)
Play is Serious Business to them.
They play, they experiment, to learn the Necessary Skills to be a successful cat, a successful predator
If they don’t learn these skills, they die. (Or they would if they were out in the Wild, where a kyoot kitten face will not get them a full food bowl. )
But they don’t go to school for eight hours a day, sitting up straight and listening to a teacher.
No, they play games with their siblings and with their momma’s tail and they follow her around and learn what she knows to do.
You can learn a lot from that.
Take your learnings as Serious Business that can be accomplished through Play.
Play can be Very Hard Work, as you know. But it is so enjoyable that the work involved is not a burden.
Keep that flexibility that allows you to fail & try again, take the chance of looking foolish, and remain mobile enough in your thinking to look at things from as many sides as it takes to figure them out.
And finally, be bold! 
Stick your paw into new things. It’s okay to be cautious if you feel you need to be. Take the time you need to take.
But do it! :>
That’s your Missive for today!
Best Blessings!
-Lady Coco
