The Religion of Cats
When my mom, Layla first started this blog, she wrote fun profiles for each of our cats including their age, astrological sign and religion. Cats of course don’t follow organized religions since they prefer to be worshipped as gods. If cats were religious, they’d probably follow in the footsteps of the Dalai Lama who has said his religion is kindness. I couldn’t agree more. This is Merlin and it’s Mondays with Merlin when I share feline secrets, wit and wisdom. We’re bracing ourselves for Hurricane Sandy and if you’re in her path, we wish Mother Nature treats you with kindness.
Scroll down to see yesterday’s post to see another photo of me and a Buddha that’s even older than me! (like by a couple hundred years). Leave a comment there to enter to win a copy of my favorite new book. Yes, it’s about a cat. A very special cat. I think you’ll like it.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely should i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you may have hit the nail about the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is an element that insufficient persons are speaking intelligently about. I am delighted we came across this during my look for something with this.

I agree, kitties would follow religion of kindness…and still be worshiped as gods 🙂
I hope everyone in Sandy’s path stayed safe and sound.

Hope Sandy treated you well and you’re safe. I just got my Interweb and phone back. Happy Halloween!

Thanks everyone! We survived Sandy and hope to write a follow up post but we are still without WIFI and power is sporadic. I’m at a library and out of time. The cats are okay. Peace, love & purrs, layla, merlin, gris gris, domino and odin

We hope all is well with you, it must be rough, we are feeling the wind all the way over here.
Mom had to get the book right away for her Kindle and every morning, before the Daddy gets up, she reads to us. (sometimes she cries a little, but it’s a good kinda cry we think) It’s a very beautiful story and words to live by.

Merlin we’re hoping you and your human and feline family are OK as Sandy makes her trail to you from around here. Our thoughts are with all of you…..you look quite serene (as always) with your buddha buddy. Please pass around hugs from me and my Mom to everyone will you?

Me thinks astrology is a-ok. Our Mommy used to do peoples profiles lots, and combined them with palm readings in beauteous drawings, but she has not done one for a long time…

We were wondering how you are doing!! Sandy is BIG news over here! That means it has to be very bad!! Keep safe, snuggle down! xxox

Merlin, we couldn’t agree with you more. Kindness is just as important as love.

We sure are thinking about all of you with that storm coming your way. Hope you all stay safe and don’t have any damage. WE all have our paws crossed for you.

Storms like this make me feel almost guilty to live in California. Find a warm, comfortable place inside to ride out the storm. Stay safe!
meowmeowmans
Stay safe, dear friends. We will be thinking of you as we, too, ride out this storm. Hugs.
Fuzzy Tales
Be safe, please.
We’ll get the tail end of it, as it swings around and hits the Great Lakes, but I don’t think our particular part of Ontario is in the high-rain zone, unless the combined storms track differently.
Fingers and paws crossed for everyone in affected areas to be safe and be well.

Keep my paws croosed that Sandy will be kind to you <3

Please stay safe! I hope Sandy is not too mean to you.
Shelba Miller
Maybe if I win the book, I can read it to my aged kitty. I think she would enjoy that as she is thrilled anytime I speak to her.
boomermuse
Shelba, thanks for the wonderful suggestion! Lots of cats would love having this book read to while snuggling in a lap.
