Cat Philosophy

Cats – we love them, we care for them, we cuddle them. But do we really know what they are like?

Do you also wonder why your feline companion is happier than you? If they love you at all, or if they just tolerate you for the comfortable accommodation and food? Delve into Feline Philosophy and discover the meaning of a cat's life. What's that, cats don't have a meaning in life? Perhaps their mere presence in our lonely human existence is the meaning, because they are the ones who chose to live with our species.

Based on several stories of strong and more or less loved cats, the author discusses several philosophical movements and philosophers, and reflects on the difference in the approach to life and death between humans and these “domesticated” beasts. It is precisely whether a living being is aware of its own mortality that influences the quality and direction of its life. While humans constantly dwell on their own mortality, what do cats do? Who has something to learn from whom?
