The sequel to The Dalai Lama's Cat finds HHC (His Holiness' Cat) a bit out of sorts. The kittens she was expecting at the end of the first book have all been given away to special friends and she is now at loose ends. To make matters worse, His Holiness is going away for several months. Before he leaves the Dalai Lama tells his "Little Snow Lion" to discover, "What makes you purr?" While he is away Rinpoche (another of her nicknames) is left in the capable hands of the monks and her friends at the small cafe/bookshop in McLeod Ganj, the town outside the temple. Through her encounters with angry dogs, strangers, friends, a professor, and a very wise Yogi she learns more about herself than she ever imagined. The side plot about the cafe and the people running it fleshes out the story. This is a sweet book and I hope there will be a third in the series.
