Siberian tiger.

Hexagram 63, Mission Accomplished.  "Soaking one's tail, no trouble."

 

May be an image of big cat and nature

Where can I buy the I Ching of Cats:D

 

Been looking myself.  The only taoist classic I've seen that may be of interest to cats is this book:

Don't know how good it is though, my new kitten can't read yet.  (Except for toilet paper -- the other day she apparently studied a scroll...  I mean, a roll...  cover to cover, judging by its frayed condition.)

YAKUTSK, Russia (Reuters) - Scientists have said that an astonishingly well-preserved cave lion cub found in Siberia's permafrost lived 28,000 years ago and may even still have traces of its mother's milk in it.

I wonder how far away or how many years before someone figures out how to clone such specimen's?

When I look hard enough for something really special, I usually find that it doesn't exist and needs personal involvement to make the vision into a materialized product.

 

A perfectly profitable book idea that will appeal to all audiences world wide. Wouldn't you feel qualified for or interested in such a project? Or am I simply threading by the tiger's tail in vain?

 

Hexagram 10: Cautious Advance. "He treads on the tail of the tiger. The tiger bites the man. Misfortune."

I don't bite unless they bite first.

 

Cool idea!  The book I envision would have nice illustrations.  E.g. for Hexagram 1 I immediately had a few images:

 

Line 1.  Hidden dragon.

Line 2.  Dragon appearing in the field.

 

Cat in Field of Flowers | Cottagecore cat, Cats, Flower field

 

Line 3.  The position is dangerous, but there will be no mistake.

Line 4. Wavering flight over the depth.

Line 5. Dragon flying in the heavens.

Line 6.  Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent.

Not a wild cat but a good hunter of local mice, our little Tao cat who passed several years ago...
