Cute. Having some exposure to Zen philosophy makes it more easily appreciated. (

I LOVED this book!: This book is so cute! It really reflects the personalities of my cats! My cats are Zen Master Cats, especially Shingu no Jagaimo (Futon Potato). I love this book, if you're a cat lover, or you just need a short, good read, this book is definetely for you!
