Of all animals, the cat alone attains to the contemplative life. He regards the wheel of existence from without, like the Buddha.

Cat Mothers White Mice (Jun, 1931)

“PATSY,” pet cat of Miss Madge Mahoney, of Brooklyn, must have read all about the peace talk in Washington and decided to take it to heart, for she has put aside all her feline hatred of her age-old enemies, rats, and is mothering four white rodents as if they were her kittens. At the left we see her having a meal of milk with her foster children without any hard feelings whatever.
