Story
When novice monk Tenzin Dorje is told by his lama that the Red Army is invading Tibet, his country's darkest moment paradoxically gives him a sense of purpose like no other. He accepts a mission to carry two ancient, secret texts across the Himalayas to safety. Half a century later, in a paradox of similarly troubling circumstances, Matt Lester is called upon to convey his own particular wisdom as a scientist, when Matt's nanotech project is mysteriously moved from London to a research incubator in Los Angeles.

Summary
Featuring a delightful cast of characters and timeless Buddhist wisdom, and with His Holiness' compassion pervading every chapter, The Dalai Lama's Cat is simply enchanting. Not so much fly-on-the-wall as cat-on-the-sill, this is the warmhearted tale of a small kitten rescued from the slums of New Delhi who finds herself in a beautiful sanctuary with sweeping views of the snowcapped Himalayas.
In her exotic new home, the Dalai Lama's cat encounters Hollywood stars, Buddhist masters, Ivy League professors, famous philanthropists, and a host of other people who come visiting His Holiness. Each encounter offers a fresh insight into finding happiness and meaning in the midst of a life of busyness and challenge.
Drawing us into her world with her adorable but all-too-flawed personality, the Dalai Lama's cat discovers how instead of trying to change the world, changing the way we experience the world is the key to true contentment.
This audiobook also contains six delightful tracks taking you through guided stretches and sits, including:
- How to sit when you meditate
- Standing roll down and breath counting
- Paw raise and purring
- Threading the needle and body awareness
- Cat pose and visualisation technique
- Shoulder bridge and analytical meditation
- Paw stretch, tranquillity and affirmations

Purr joy
This book will not provide you with some ground-breaking wisdom, it touches on the things that, more or less, are common knowledge of what it means to be a good human or cat being, what it means to be happy, joyful or at peace with the world.
What this book does is pure joy of listening to a beautiful story, so soothing for your frayed nerves. It made me feel like immersing in a better place and for these short moments after listening I was a better person until everyday stress caught up with me, but those moments were very precious. That is why I will go back to this book. Oh, one more thing, believe me, I look at my cat now from a little bit different perspective.

A lovely idea
But I'm sorry, David Michie, a male voice for a female cat just doesn't work, for me at least (unfortunately not all authors are the best narrators). The little anecdotes connected by the voice of the cat are a really nice idea. But there are a few really discordant moments, such as saying that the cat lapped up a bowl of milk. Any cat carer will tell you that milk is not a good thing for cats, it upsets their digestive systems with really unfortunate results. I know, it's a little thing, but as the book progressed I noticed more and more little irritants and the style of narration grated until I lost patience. I have great admiration for His Holiness the Dali Llama and had been anticipating a gentle book with a feline accent. This book is all that and more, and you may well find it charming, but it's not for me, I am returning it.

A really great book! I loved the story and the buddhist insight. The characters are interesting and HHC... I love the cat!
Who was your favorite character and why?
HHC - a kind cat and very curious
Which character – as performed by David Michie – was your favourite?
HHC

Best Listen so far this year!
Where does The Dalai Lama's Cat + The Dalai Lama's Cat: Guided Meditations rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book captures your heart and your mind. I have read all 3 now and my 13 yr old son just finished this one too and immediately downloaded the 2nd. We love the brilliant narrative of this little Himalayan cat, who is on a path through life similar to all creatures - and surprisingly, we can relate!
Who was your favorite character and why?
While there is no question my son and I both love the little Snow Lion, he feels an affinity for Sam and I do love Mrs. Trencci.
Which scene was your favorite?
I loved how she came to meet up with her Tom Cat - needing to overcome her aversions to non familiar places.
If you could take any character from The Dalai Lama's Cat + The Dalai Lama's Cat: Guided Meditations out to dinner, who would it be and why?
The Dalai Lama - as I am sure it would be - cativating!

Finally, the door opens
I could never listen to a tome about mindfulness. Only a cat- the Dalai Lama's cat, brought the humor necessary to maintain a developing narrative to enlighten me of, not just the principles of practice, but an understanding of the joy.

Get in touch with your own inner purr
Enjoyed this book ~ Especially the Purr meditation for healing & well~being. It is a light~hearted, non~preachy way to explore some Buddhist concepts, how to use "annoyances" as opportunities for inner peace & growth, & also to take from it what you may. Enjoyed the cat character very much

Even better than Michie's nonfiction Buddhist book
I had extremely low expectations for this book but maybe I was just in the right mood because this was great fun. The Dalai Lama is coming back from the airport when he spots an injured kitten who is literally being thrown in the trash. He has the cat rescued and the cat (who narrates) proceeds to meditate beside the Dalai Lama, meet visiting celebrities and learn Buddhist teachings from the Tibetan leader himself and his disciples. I liked the lessons explained this more than in Michie’s nonfiction books, which are good, too. Grade: A-
The narration is very good by the author.

Lovely Tale of a Lucky Cat w/ Snippets of Buddhism
Beautiful story about an anthropomorphic cat with the good luck to be rescued, nearly dead, from an Indian city slum, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and raised to adult cat-hood by His Holiness and brother monks, along with a fascinating cast of characters: Westerners looking for Eastern wisdom, Easterners with Western technology, world-famous actors and actresses who come for a blessing, and many more, both human and animal.
During her day-to-day existence, HHC (His Holiness' Cat) learns plenty of lessons on how Buddhist principles can turn the problems in her life into opportunities for growth and further contentment. Lessons that she gently and with much humor then transmits to the reader. It's done so smoothly there's no feeling of being 'preached to,' and the examples from HHC's life are smooth enough that the lessons are quite explanatory and easily transferred into our lives as well.
I bought this first book as a kind of a test; I believe it may have been on sale. Now a fanatical reader of Michie's, I'm off to buy Book 2, in which Snow Lion--one of her many names--becomes a mother. Will she be a good mom? What aspects of Buddhism will she learn to help her to raise her kittens? We shall see...

An entertaining way to learn about meditation
This story is excellent, the visuals and other descriptions are effortlessly included within a story that has 3-D characters. The writing is sophisticated, with insightful observations about people and situations, and yet simply presented. And the main character, the cat, is a charming way to tell a very interesting story.
The narration is perfect too. I found a brief youtube clip of David Michie explaining why he wrote a fictional book and it made sense. I often seek books that are going to give me pleasure and an escape and this book (and the 2 following it) was perfect, and fun. I could feel my face's cheek muscles were getting a workout from the permanent smile on my face as I listened to the story.
The bonus meditation instructions at the end of the audio book are a generous gift to the listener.
