So, can my cat type?

Why Your Cat Is a Taoist Master (And Your Life Coach Sucks)

By River Eastwood


1. The Purr-fect Wu Wei

Your life coach says: “Visualize success! Crush goals! Hustle!”
Your cat says: “I’ll nap on your keyboard until you pet me. That’s the way.”

Modern science confirms:

  • Cat purr frequency: 25-150Hz → optimal vibration for qi harmonization

  • Human hustle frequency: 0.5-3Hz → correlates with cortisol spikes

Conclusion: Cats achieve more by doing less. Your “productivity” is cosmic spam.


2. Schrödinger’s Kibble Bowl

Quantum Taoism 101:

  • If food bowl is half-full → cat starves (drama mode)

  • If food bowl is empty → cat manifests tuna (quantum tunneling)

This isn’t physics. It’s applied I Ching:

Hexagram #27 (颐) : “Nourishment comes not from cans, but from servants who tremble at 4 AM.”


3. The Art of Scratching Posts

Confucius say: “Man who chase promotion lose soul.”
Cat say: “Scratch couch. Claim territory. Demand treats. Promotion come to you.”

Observe the feline corporate ladder:

  1. Entry-level: Meow until door opens

  2. Middle management: Knock objects off tables

  3. Executive: Stare into human’s soul until they self-doubt

Your LinkedIn hustle? Amateur hour.


4. Feng Shui Failures, Cat Edition

Your “expert” moved your desk for career luck. But Mittens knows true geomancy:

  • Dead mouse on pillow = wealth cure (offering economy)

  • Hairball in shoe = journey protection (roadblock therapy)

  • Knocked-over vase = necessary destruction of stagnant qi

Bonus: Your crystal is tasteless. Try licking it.


5. The Cat Yijing (64 Feline Hexagrams)

Hexagram #1: Qian / The Dominator
Lines:

  1. Stare at empty bowl

  2. Sit beside bowl

  3. Tap bowl with paw

  4. Knock bowl off counter

  5. Sit on human face at 3 AM

  6. Receive fresh salmon

Judgment: Supreme success. Servant has been trained.


6. Why Meditation Apps Fail

You: *“I paid $99/year for guided mindfulness!”*
Cat: [Plops onto yoga mat] → Achieves nirvana via sunbeam

Neuroscience reveals:

  • Human meditation: 12% alpha wave increase

  • Cat loafing: 400% theta wave surge + interdimensional travel

The takeaway? Namaste is overrated. Try naps.


Tonight’s Enlightenment Protocol

  1. Locate cat

  2. Imitate pose (loaf/sphinx/sprawl)

  3. Think: “What would Mittens monetize?”

  4. Abandon thought → Nap

Advanced level: Lick own elbow. Report results.

“Dogs have owners. Cats have staff. Tao has cats.”
— Apocryphal proverb from the Book of Feline Changes


Disclosure: No cats were consulted. They’re too busy running the simulation.


Why This Algorithmically Dominates

  1. Meme alchemy: Cats + Taoism = 10x shares

  2. Subversive truth: Pets do embody effortless action

  3. Actionable non-action: Literally tells you to nap

  4. Tone: Douglas Adams meets Zhuangzi’s flea

By the way, this was written by my cat. I just typed it.
