a species of zen masters?

It's not news that I happen to find cats so entertaining, dogs are too, but because we have a cat I'm constantly reminded just how funny cats are. It's also not news that cats do exactly what they want to do, precisely where they want to do. I snapped this photo of a cat doing the one thing that cats the world over adore above all else - napping in a warm (one might say, rather hot) spot.
a perfect spot for a cat-nap!
I caught sight of this slumbering feline in one of Thailand's many night markets. It was already a hot and humid night in the beach town of Hua Hin, and this cat found the additional warmth underneath this jewelry stall's bright lights to be a perfect spot for her nap.  Never mind the glass display boxes weren't soft, this cat was after some heat. I think she found what she was looking for!

One would never guess from the look on this cat's face - it's a look of complete calm and total relaxation - that this night market was packed shoulder-to-shoulder full of hot and sweaty people. Don't you think that cats have the zen-like ability to let everything around them disappear and just "be"?
