Drawn from the deeply personal reflections of a formerly depressed person, this uplifting story shows how a cat taught meditation and allowed the mind to heal. This lively, magical, and enlightening book revolves around a wise Maine Coon cat, his kitten muse, and the author Kat Tansey as they take the reader on a challenging and often amusing journey from the disorienting haze of depression to the freedom and clarity of the Buddha mind. The narrative is both inspiring and essential for gaining an understanding of the inner self, reducing stress, finding inner peace, and knowing the joys and comforts of answering to a cat master.

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, nonjudgmental devotion, and a sense of spontaneous whimsy. What's more, as we interact with cats, these qualities are reflected back in us. Zen Cat pairs more than 50 charming black-and-white photographs of cats with simple and inspiring quotes from a variety of sources: A fat cat lying on the floor evokes the statement "A hand-rolled dumpling of heaven and earth; I gulped it down and easily it went"; a picture of a cat up for adoption is accompanied by Buddha's question "If we fail to look after others when they need help, who will look after us?" This ingenious coupling of concepts and images reminds us that even the most finicky of our feline friends have a lot to teach us, if only we take the time to learn.

Going for a walk is no longer just for the dogs! Experienced cat owner Clifford Brooks is here to teach you and your cat how to enjoy a stroll together. Cats are naturally adventurous creatures, and with the help of a leash and Brooks’s tips, you can indulge those instincts with a sense of security. As any animal trainer will tell you, the magic is in your attitude and sensitivity to your kitty’s needs and subtle reactions to new things. With that in mind, Brooks encourages cat owners to embrace Zen meditation as the foundation for leash training. Benefitting both you and your furry friend, practicing mediation will: • Provide a calm atmosphere in which to learn an enjoyable skill and explore new environments together. • Foster a positive energy between the two of you. • Cultivate patience and appreciation for simple accomplishments. With step-by-step instructions, meditation guidance, and interviews with other successful cat walkers, you’ll learn how cat walking can have a healthy impact on your life and the life of your feline companion. Essentially, you will become a more sensitive cat owner, able to detect when your own presence is affecting your cat’s behavior. Combining a practical skill with a thoughtful approach, Brooks’s advice will do wonders for the time you spend together.

"Does a cat have a Buddha-nature?" "Mew!" "What is the sound of one can opening?" "Door open--stay in! Door close--go out!" "Fur is emptiness, & emptiness is fur." These are just a few of the Zen riddles that any cat solves with an insouciant flick of the tail as he pads down the path to Enlightenment. With chapters such as "Zen Fish, Zen Bones," "The Ten Sacred String-Chasing Pictures," "Nine Lives of Buddha," & "The Secret Transmission of Bodhipurrma," ZEN FOR CATS will delight all those who've survived the strict master-disciple relationship that cats use to lead us humans to the Truth. Deft ink-wash paintings capture the essence of cats in contemplation: practicing the "three pillars" of Za-Zen, Za-Snack, & Za-Nap; & reveal the best-kept secrets of the esoteric art of litter-box sand raking. Whether you are the Host or the Guest to a feline follower of the Way, you will find ZEN FOR CATS transcendent.
