Cats as Zen Monks


If you like cats, and you like books that make you want to kill yourself, you'll probably love "Choosing to Be: Lessons in Living from a Feline Zen Master." It's about cats, and just the title makes me want to kill myself.

The book is about a buddhist master cat who teaches her owner the secrets of zen living and stress relief. I haven't read the book, but I have the feeling that these secrets involve getting someone to buy everything you need, prepare your food, clean your poo for you, and pet you whenever you want. That's a stress-free life alright!

Oh, and in my own personal experience, cats are hardly buddha masters. My cats are neurotic, vocal, and pathologically needy. The only thing they've taught me is patience.
