I recently moved from San Francisco to Athens, Georgia. I lived in San Francisco for about 16 years and couldn’t have any pets. Since I got to Athens, I’ve accumulated 3 cats. And they have helped me so much in my daily spiritual practice. Being constantly interrupted by a cat that that wants to walk on my laptop or crawl into a cupboard that I opened or sit in the sink when I’m brushing my teeth (I could go on) has made me stop many times throughout my day and practice patience and love. I mean, how can you not love them? And you can not rush through, you need to stop and pet and say sweet things to them; you must be patient.

And cats know when you are practicing. They love to be around the dharma. It is peaceful for them. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve always loved cats. At one point, we had four of them… Our 9 year old best buddy, Odie, just passed last month. He spent his entire life with our family. My four kiddos all grew up with his gentle cuddles. Odie was a tuxedo cat too;)
We are now down to just one cat. I no longer go looking for cats– now they come looking for me, lol! So, one it shall be until fate brings the next feline into our lives:)

Such a cute sentiment. I have to practice patience with my cat and my daughter (and sometimes my husband!) It has made me a much better person.
