David Michie's enchanting novel explores this delightful question through the eyes of a Himalayan cat named Kitten, who narrates her journey from orphaned stray to beloved companion in one of the world's most sacred spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eThrough Kitten's observations and encounters with Buddhist monks, visiting dignitaries, and seekers of wisdom, we discover profound spiritual truths wrapped in feline wisdom and gentle humour.

It's a book about finding enlightenment in the ordinary, about the transformative power of love and acceptance, and about how spiritual wisdom often comes from the most unexpected sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003eAt 240 pages in a beautifully designed paperback, \u003cem\u003eThe Dalai Lama's Cat\u003c\/em\u003e is a gentle, thought-provoking read.
