This charming little book is written from the point of view of a Himalayan kitty who, as a small kitten, was rescued from certain death by the Dalai Lama's staff. She becomes affectionately known as HHC (His Holiness' Cat) and spends most of her time around His Holiness, his staff, and a string of prominent and not so prominent visitors. She also earns a place of respect in the town near the monastery where she frequents a cafe run by an American.
As the "bodhicatva" she sits in on many spiritual conversations and relates many of the most important bits of Buddhist thought. She also strives to live up to her title of HHC by applying them to her own life. There is a sequel The Dalai Lama's Cat and the Art of Purring.
