My journey into the secret lives of Buddhist cats started years ago when I discovered my cat on my meditation cushion.  Was she...meditating?  But it didn't stop with that one event.  I noticed how cats were attracted to Buddhist rituals, sounds, and are even found sleeping in the laps of Buddha statues!   There had to be more to this than just 'feline curiosity'. I wrote an article on this subject called "Buddhism Secrets of Cats" on my website, and it became one of my most read articles and touched the lives (and funny bones) of many.  In 2020, it was time to dive deeper, and the result was this book "The Buddhism Secrets of Cats:  Discovering the Hidden Lives and Teachings of Buddhist Cats".   Inside you will join me on a quest to a secret Buddhist [cat] temple, discover their ancient techniques, meet several cat monastics, and get many questions answered about why cats behave they way they do! What if cats are secretly Buddhist monks? For the first time in history, Buddhist cats are revealing to humans their ancient teachings on Buddhism. Discover the " Kitten Eightfold Path ", the " Purring Sutra ", the " Ten Zen Kitten Herding Pictures ", the real reason why cats knock drinking glasses off tables, and much more!
