Loved the illustrations and the poetry of a cats life.

The artwork alone in Zen Kitty: A Cat's Guide to Enlightenment makes it worth a peruse. Its simple lines and understated elegance no doubt mirror that of your own cat. Its pages contain precisely the sort of wisdom our cats so rightfully try to instill in us. For example, "In our imperfections/We may find/Unspeakable beauty" (n.p.). Keep this with your other kitty lit and revisit it from time to time--esp. if you're in need of the insights of our elegant, purring four-footed friends.
