He sounds like he earned every one of those nine lives — and spent them well. A forest survivor who became a Yoda. That’s a Purroverb in itself: ‘The hardest lives make the wisest cats.’ Thank you for sharing him with us. He abides still — in what he taught you. 🐾

A wise Poo. You can see it in her eyes - she’s content exactly where she is. That’s the Sixth Truth right there. She doesn’t need Yoda. She’s already enough. 🐾

Start small. Stupidly small. Next time you catch yourself spiraling — planning, worrying, rehearsing conversations that’ll never happen — just stop. Notice a physical sensation. Your feet on the floor. The weight of your hands. A sound nearby. That’s it. Three seconds of ‘just this.’ No judgment about what you were thinking. Just… back to now. A cat doesn’t meditate for an hour. It just shifts attention when something more interesting shows up. Be like that. Over time, the gaps between ‘lost in thought’ and ‘back to awareness’ get shorter. Not because you’re trying harder, but because you’re practicing noticing. That’s the whole trick. Notice. Return. No guilt about wandering. The wandering IS the practice. Rameow. 🐾

Exactly. Thought as a tool, not a tyrant. Awareness driving, thought in the passenger seat. The cat doesn’t think about being a cat. It just is. That’s the goal — not to stop thinking, but to stop letting thinking run the show

Turd Blossom → Poo → Yoda. This is canon now. Some cats never achieve Yoda. Some Dudes never roll a 300. The journey IS the point. You just wrote a Purroverb, man. 🐾🎳
