Dear Dear Dear
Cats are lovely, but what can I say except for
Behold the noble, loyal, brave and selfless dog - always there with unconditional loving kindness
I currently don’t have access on this device to a picture of Sasha the Wonderdog meditating next to a Buddha Rupa… but soon 
and you will all be convinced 
My cat, “Max” - thoroughly enjoying the five cords of sensual pleasure. He has gone “astray” from the path 
@Viveka this thread is about cats. Your post is clearly off topic. 
As a moderator, you should know better! Please correct this by posting about cute cats! 
However, Sasha the wonder dog is pretty cute; those ears! 
So we should make Sasha an honorary cat for the sake of this thread’s integrity! 
Actually I’m also a dog person as well as a cat person and a bird person etc. I even like spidees. Metta to all! 
What can I say - I’m just a naughty moderator 
Metta to all creatures, great and small, furry or slithery etc 
We should also have a Naughty Moderator thread.
Slim Cat and I have, indeed, made friends. A couple of nights ago she came knocking at my door, asking to be let into my room:
Also, for the security conscious out there, I’d like to reassure you that the Tilorian staircase is well guarded:
Eeeerm, I think that was just any thread I posted in while being a moderator! 
Since we’re being naughty, I met this baby goat with his mum in Scotland recently.
Hazel, the brown hen, who lives with the people hosting me this weekend.
Note the Buddha statue in the background. Totally relevant to D&D, right? 
This seems to be a perfectly derailed thread. First it derailed from Tilorien monastery, and now it is derailing from cats!
… I love them all!
:sad_monkey_face: 
I even have “monk” in my name, but still don’t get a mention.
Anybody else I forgot?
But the microbe gets a mention.
Recently read, the Buddha at uposatha: “the sangha is not pure…” !

From DN 16 (Chap 28) about the shrines to where a pilgrimage has good fruit:
Faithful monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen will come, and think: ‘Here the Realized One was born!’ and ‘Here the Realized One became awakened as a supreme fully awakened Buddha!’ and ‘Here the supreme Wheel of Dhamma was rolled forth by the Realized One!’ and ‘Here the Realized One became fully extinguished through the natural principle of extinguishment, without anything left over!’ Anyone who passes away while on pilgrimage to these shrines will, when their body breaks up, after death, be reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”
