Was expecting to be typing condolences right now. This turned out much better!

Fortunately, cats have more dignity.... :tongue:
Bhikkhus, if you develop and make much this one thing,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.
What is it? It is recollecting the Enlightened One.
If this single thing is recollected and made much,
it invariably leads to weariness, cessation, appeasement, realization and extinction.

We have an expression in this country, relating to the smallness of houses and rooms...
'Too small to swing a cat"
As can be seen from the video, someone has a room that's just the right size and has the right equipment to go with it!
Ah dear, it made me laugh!
Poor cat!
Thanks for sharing, Tilt!
