This bronze incense burner represents a cat with its mouth half open and ears pricked. The back, neck and chest are all perforated to allow incense to escape. On the cat's chest is an inscription in the Kufic script which says: "Valor, power, and glory."

[c. 11th or 12th century, bronze incense burner, Islamic, Seljuk]

This detail from a 16th century Mogul miniature gives a Moslem interpretation of Noah and the Flood. Notice how the cat calmly sits aloof from the rest of the passengers on the ark and seems unconcerned about the activity around her.

[16th century, Noah and the Flood (detail), Mogul, miniature]

This painting by Dutch artist Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen shows the Holy Family resting by a fire after returning from Egypt. As most cats will do, this one has found the very best place to relax --snuggled up against Mary's feet on a pile of soft fabric, close to the warm fire.

[c. 1550, Vermeyen, The Holy Family By The Fire, painting]

The very essence of Buddhism, the calmness and integrity to grasp the essence of reality meshes well in the stance of a Buddhist cat.
