Zen for Cats is an (ir)reverent look at the lives and antics of the feline, as seen through the lens of that most open-minded of all Buddhist traditions, Zen . a delight for all those who have survived the strict master-disciple relationship that cats use to lead us humans to the Truth. Whether you are the Guest or Host to a feline follower of the Way, you will find Zen for Cats transcendent.
Alfred Birnbaum is a leading translator and editor of contemporary Japanese fiction; Riku Kanmei is the 99th master in the lineage of the Neko Sect of Zen. JC Brown is a calligrapher and illustrator residing in Tokyo.
