No, you didn't understand. The cats image is just a separate method or as a backup. The image is encrypted wuth stego and inside are the 12 words for a seed. No passphrase.

The 12 words insidebthe guide is just another method. Again are just spread among the guide text positioned in specific places so I can recover them if I need it.

Consider these methods the backup of a backup. I will not rely for example only on one place. I use different methods just in case of shtf and I cannot access o r if the methods.

For example the backup of these 2 methods is another one:

See the 12 high peaks in this picture? Each peak contain a resistent recipient with a word inside. So in order to retrive the 12 words seed you must hike all 12 peaks (and is not do easy). Also you need to know the order. So even if somebody will find a recipient, it will be useless.
