    Fabulous heart-warming, heart-felt book. LOVED IT!
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024*

I read the first book and then found out there were 5 more in the series.  I loved these books. Written with tenderness and love~ They are a gentle reading and I re-learned a lot about Buddhism~ SO much fun to read!

    Fun and thoughtful
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2018*

If you're looking for heavy spiritual content, don't look here.  What Michie has given us is a light-hearted look at some essentials of Buddhist philosophy through the eyes of a cat who is adopted by the Dalai Lama. As is true of all cats HHC (His Holiness' Cat) has many names, Snow Lion, Mousie-Tung, Rinpoche, among others.  Much of the story is about how HHC absorbs the lessons of Buddhism, and attempts to understand how they apply to her life. She's also a tireless observer of humans and human lives, and her accounts of how they assimilate Buddhist teachings is really at the core of the book, and is I think, the reason why it does work well. It's not Buddhism for Dummies, it's Buddhism for people who are just ordinary people. There's no drama, just a pleasant, good-natured narrative about a cat who does all the things a cat does -- hunts, mates, begs people for food, enjoys being adored -- but who attempts to understand those things in terms of how her human sees the world, and who attempts to be mindful of who she wishes to be.I got curious about whether the Dalai Lama really has a cat (HHC is a fiction.) and found that he does.  Not a Himalayan like Snow Lion, but a sweet-faced, fluffy little tabby. It pleased me to think that His Holiness has the company of a cat.I'm guessing his cat is unimpressed by the fuss people make over HH, which is as it should be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great mix of a fun story and some important Buddhist thought
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2023*

Alright, I like cats. I'm interested in Buddhism and try to apply many Buddhist concepts to my life. I was still wary about this book - I thought it might be too cutsie-poo. Glad I gave it a shot. It was a fun, warming story, but the use of HHC (the cat) as an exemplar of Buddhist philosophy and some of the challenges of embracing it were actually really cool. I try to reserve 5 stars for books that absolutely knocked me out, but this one was really good and definitely deserves all 4 stars that I gave it.
