Saint Tabby
Patron of Meditating Cats

"The radiation of peace and calm by the sages is reflected in a meditating cat," said C. Sivaramamurti.

Saint Tabby loved to quip that her only two vices were pride and litter: a pride of cats and a litter of kittens, that is.  She so adored cats that even her prayers sounded like purring.  (The purrs were actually a form of throat singing, also known as overtone chanting, which Saint Tabby learned while on retreat in Tuva.)  Legend has it that when she knelt in prayer on the ancient brick cloister of San Michele a Ripa, she left behind a set of holy pawprints.
