A Cat Named Da

The nuns call me Vege Cat but my real name is Da.

My Home

The temple where I have lived for more than 7 years

I am very happy being a cat monk

I am lucky to have a roof over my head and a good teacher like Head Nun.

Me and my good friend, Ning

Ning is quite different from me. He has no interest in spiritual matters but has a good and kind heart.
