Why read it?
1 author picked The Dalai Lama's Cat as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m a crazy cat lover and a lover of all things mystical so this book makes my heart purr.
It’s about His Holiness the Dalia Lama rescuing a starving and pitiful kitten he finds on a street in New Delhi and takes to his home in the Himalayas.
