Lovely piece, cats, Thai culture, Buddhism, developmental psychology, and- cats. And weaving the narrative between them. Glad I found this via The Books that Made Us Roundup

This was a very interesting read, both inspirational and educational. I liked how you combined different pieces of information and created an in-depth narrative. And to connect cats with the selflessness of Buddhism was something I've never thought of before.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I'm glad it sparked a new thought! I'd also never thought of the cat-Buddhist connection until reading John Gray's book, but then it was too good to pass up for a Buddhist-majority country.

Great post. Kotor in Montenegro is also absolutely jam packed with cats, worth checking out!
