Here is the perfect pairing of subjects - the ever mysterious cat and the spiritual philosophy of life embodied by the principles of Zen. How often have we seen cats watching us with intense focus, playing obsessively with a toy, comforting us as they cannily assess our moods, lying calmly in a patch of sunlight? Cats exemplify the essential tenets of Zen philosophy and the desire to find the simple and spiritual in everyday life. They embody utter grace, non-judgemental devotion, and a sense of spontaneous whimsy. What's more, as we interact with cats, these qualities come out in us.
