Apply one of the 10 Feline Hints on How to Live Well from John Gray's "Feline Philosophy: Cats and The Meaning of Life" to your life.Other bites of catnip from the book:🐾 “If cats could look back on their lives, might they wish they had never lived? It is hard to think so. Not making stories of their lives, they cannot think of them as tragic or wish they had never been born. They accept life as a gift. Humans are different. Unlike any other animal, they are ready to die for their beliefs. Monotheists and rationalists regard this as a mark of our superiority. It shows we live for the sake of ideas, not just instinctual satisfaction. But if humans are unique in dying for ideas, they are also alone in killing for them. Killing and dying for nonsensical ideas is how many human beings have made sense of their lives.”🐾“The inner life of humans is episodic, fuzzy, disjointed and at times chaotic...We pass through our lives fragmented and disconnected, appearing and reappearing like ghosts, while cats that have no self are always themselves.”🐾 "If you cannot learn to live a little more like a cat, return without regret to the human world of diversion…If you cannot find a faith that suits you, lose yourself in common life. The excitement and disappointments of romantic love, the pursuit of money and ambition, the charades of politics and the clamour of the news will soon banish any sense of emptiness.”LOVED THIS ONE.

In a short, condensed yet profound manner, as one would expect from a thinker of Gray’s caliber, every single one of the most salient topics at the core of philosophy is present in this book. The philosopher tackles self, ethics, morality, love, the meaning of life, and death in his distinctive way, but only as a framework to introduce an accurate interpretation of how cats, and feline philosophy, deal with each of these issues. In a highly intuitive, albeit based on shrewd observations and serious analysis, we are led through the fascinating, and subversive, way in which cats see the world, and live their lives. This is a very recommendable book for anyone, regardless of their thoughts on philosophical matters, cat lovers and haters alike. There is so much human animals could learn.
