You see, the cat, in the "...and Cat" part, is based on my cat Bodhi, who died two years ago.
Bodhisattva Kinkytail was my friend, and a friend I loved dearly. His name was chosen specifically as a Buddhist name.
In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is a being who waives their chance at Nirvana until all living beings are enlightened. I think that describes my Bodhi a great deal, even though he loved murdering birds and rats, which was definitely a very un-Buddhist thing to do.
In any case, I introduce you to "Buddha and Bodhi", my new creation.
