The Zen of no Zen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is really a very cute book about Cats from the concept of Zen! Some points in the book, although amusing, is also thought provoking. The illustrations are very cute and the book offers certain insights which I found to be really true with my little kitty boy! This is in fact, a small little "sayings" book, so don’t expect it to be a full or complete book about cats. But if you’re looking for something to complement or enhance your reading of cats, get this! It’ll surely provide you with hours (or minutes) of reading joy and "knowing" smiles. ^_~ The only minus point I could think of this book is that it’s too short! I finished reading it in a few minutes, but I wished it was longer because it’s just so entertaining and refreshing! Also recommended as gifts to your cat-lover friends!
I LOVED this book!

This book is so cute! It really reflects the personalities of my cats! My cats are Zen Master Cats, especially Shingu no Jagaimo (Futon Potato). I love this book, if you're a cat lover, or you just need a short, good read, this book is definetely for you!
Beard captures both the essence of Zen and Cat perfectly!

The illustrations are wonderful and the humor is witty. Henry Beard captures both the essence of Zen and Cat perfectly in this book.I "accidentally" bought a copy of this book while on vacation. After reading it I just had to buy two additional copies to give to relatives as gifts when I returned home.
This is not a book to be taken lightly!

If you're developing an ulcer, or trying to reduce your blood pressure, try modeling your day on the basic schedule of a Zen Cat. With Beard's exquisitely humorous help, I think I have caught a glimpse of the "discipline of no discipline." My understanding of Charlie, my feline partner, has been greatly improved by learning that he is, in practice, a Zenmaster. Every cat's housekeeper should read this book!
Henry Beard's humor really tickles my funny bone

Zen for Cats is a quick read, something you'll pick up from time to time and flip through again. If you're a cat owner, I don't doubt you'll find Beard's witty observations hilarious. The illustrations are cute, but it's mostly the very dry humor in the text that makes me laugh out loud. This book is worth owning -- you'll want to refer to it again and again.
