Summary
Featuring a delightful cast of characters and timeless Buddhist wisdom, and with His Holiness' compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply enchanting. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is the warmhearted tale of a small kitten rescued from the slums of New Delhi who finds herself in a beautiful sanctuary with sweeping views of the snowcapped Himalayas.
In her exotic new home, the Dalai Lama's cat encounters Hollywood stars, Buddhist masters, Ivy League professors, famous philanthropists, and a host of other people who come visiting His Holiness. Each encounter offers a fresh insight into finding happiness and meaning in the midst of a life of busyness and challenge.
Drawing us into her world with her adorable but all-too-flawed personality, the Dalai Lama's cat discovers how instead of trying to change the world, changing the way we experience the world is the key to true contentment.
This audiobook also contains six delightful tracks taking you through guided stretches and sits, including:
- How to sit when you meditate
- Standing roll down and breath counting
- Paw raise and purring
- Threading the needle and body awareness
- Cat pose and visualisation technique
- Shoulder bridge and analytical meditation
- Paw stretch, tranquillity and affirmations

Purr joy
This book will not provide you with some ground-breaking wisdom, it touches on the things that, more or less, are common knowledge of what it means to be a good human or cat being, what it means to be happy, joyful or at peace with the world.
What this book does is pure joy of listening to a beautiful story, so soothing for your frayed nerves. It made me feel like immersing in a better place and for these short moments after listening I was a better person until everyday stress caught up with me, but those moments were very precious. That is why I will go back to this book. Oh, one more thing, believe me, I look at my cat now from a little bit different perspective.

Meow!
What a truly lovely book. If you love cats and would like to understand a little more about Mindfulness, you will love this. David brings the whole story to life. I love it and have just bought the next two books in the series.

Dare you to read this book and not learn something new about yourself! It combines psychotherapy with a great understanding of a cat's mind.

A peaceful place to go to
I read Buddhism for busy people a few years ago and it brought much peace into my soul. The Dalai Lama's cat books are a delightful trilogy by the same author that bring not only a calming and delightful story but very simple and powerful meditations set.
Looking forward to more of these in the future

A lovely idea
But I'm sorry, David Michie, a male voice for a female cat just doesn't work, for me at least (unfortunately not all authors are the best narrators). The little anecdotes connected by the voice of the cat are a really nice idea. But there are a few really discordant moments, such as saying that the cat lapped up a bowl of milk. Any cat carer will tell you that milk is not a good thing for cats, it upsets their digestive systems with really unfortunate results. I know, it's a little thing, but as the book progressed I noticed more and more little irritants and the style of narration grated until I lost patience. I have great admiration for His Holiness the Dali Llama and had been anticipating a gentle book with a feline accent. This book is all that and more, and you may well find it charming, but it's not for me, I am returning it.

A cute introduction to mindfulness
A cute introduction to mindfulness.
But why is the narrator male if the protagonist cat is female? I really baffles me and there is no excuse for it.
