Impurrmanence: Lessons on Non-Attachment I Learned from My Cat

Nik Havert had long been a martial arts student and instructor, but didn't meet his first Zen instructor until his cat, Rama, revealed himself to be one as he slowly lost his life to a rare form of feline bladder cancer. Havert began chronically two journeys - his cat's path to a different existence and Havert's path to a life without his beloved cat. Havert learned about attachment, non-attachment, presence, death, life, and Zen from a feline master, lessons that would help him for the rest of his life.
