Aloha NancyCat,
If your cat takes off while you are detecting or doing sword fingers, just vizualize her still there and continue your work. You can direct the energy traveling around her small universe with your mind or your hands. You don't need to have to hands going up and down along side of them. The same holds true for a friend who is in a hospital bed - there is no need to ask the doctors and nurses to prop him up for you!
Much Love, Shawn
