Cats and the Meaning of Life

A feline philosopher would not encourage human beings to seek wisdom. Instead of turning away from the world, turn back to it and embrace its folly. The meaning of life is a touch, a scent, which comes by chance and is gone before you know it. Find fulfilment in inconstancy and illusion. Do not struggle against fears of death. Let them die away. For humans, contemplation is a break from living. For cats, it is the sensation of life itself.
