I don't know how to rate this. The HHC POV didn't work for me at all and I felt that most of the "story" was cute but limp. That said, the Buddhist ideas in this book were thought-provoking and I am now interested in learning more.

The cat narrates the story, so it's a bit cutesy, but the dialogues between humans contain useful material that I will try to take away. It's a decent primer on Buddhist thought for young readers but I'll pursue this philosophy in books written for grown-ups.

I am a cat lover and after reading this book I would like to term myself as one of them! What an insightful book even if you are not a cat lover or a buddhist follower. Would really like to gift this book to people for increasing their mindfulness and tapping into their inner self to achieve their highest good. Five stars!

A very well-written book, with bouts of wit and humour, along with a good few solid Buddhist principles thrown in.
