What is a Guru Cat? A guru cat is a spiritual teacher, a cat who leads a disciple to wisdom and self-realization, imparts knowledge on the disciple, or guides the disciple to divinity. In my part of the world, the concept of the guru cat is looser, and extends beyond teachers of spirituality and religion. Any cat who acquires blog followers and who is considered an authority in their arena may be called by this name.
So, can I call myself a chocolate guru?
Mr. Bowie, you seem to be a wise, mature cat. I wish you could talk to me. I need some guidance and comfort food.
You confuse us Herman. Mr Bowie can’t be a chocolate guru yet you seek advice from him about your comfort food addiction. Has Bowie been brought low by accidental exposure?
It must be a hard job being a guru cat… I prefer being a chocolate or an espresso guru!
Dear Mr. Bowie’s dad: I thought you said chocolate was not good for us kitties?
That was my dad speaking Jay! You’re right, no chocolate for us kitties…
Oh pheeeeew!
Indeed, you are a guru cat Mr. Bowie. Please tell Herman the lighting on you is fantastic…
Thank you! This is one of my favorite pictures of last week…
Was Mr Bowie guru-ing when the picture was taken? It does look like he’s in a bit of a trance-like state…
Well, I was thinking the same thing… That’s how I came up with this idea.
Mr. Bowie needs a mantra. May I suggest: “purr, purr”. Given the raising of his leadership (or acknowledgement of same already achieved!), let me once again offer my humblest apologies as to my most recent “cat” poem. Mr. Bowie’s status is obviously high above such silly foldorall!
Oh no Jonathan, you’re giving us too much credit. We’re only two ordinary gurus…
Wise chocolate guru today my offering to you is sniffing salutes and pawesome purrs! You look fabulous! Bisous Bailey
That’s very kind of you Bailey, the Boat Cat Guru! Bowie says “Meow!”
Mr Bowie looks in a calm state of Zen, he is a very mystical guru.
Wish I could be like him…
Welcome on HoB!
He looks like he’s constantly in a Zen state, and I do think he’s an authority in his arena. Wait, what is his arena again…? Yours, I know is chocolate………..
If you eat enough chocolate you will get in a Zen state too…
Is Mr. Bowie doing his Yoda impersonation?
Well Katie, I guess he was giving it a try…
Mr. Bowie looks so handsome! Tigger is swooning…
Oh no please… keep an eye on that furry girl!
Mr Bowie is THE guru cat of all guru cats.
That’s a fact!
Mr Bowie you exude calm. One look at you and I feel quite peaceful.
He got the same effect on me, and I like it…
You are the big Kahuna, the big cheese, the cats meow, the cherry on top, of Chocolate Guru’s Bowie. Een lief klein harige chocolade goeroe
Your Dutch is getting better and better, Boomdee! It seems you’re ready to immigrate to Bowie’s land…
yes, well thanks but I’d look grappig walking around with my computer Googling everything…LOL
Spectacular photo of the Guru of Calm…….as for you Herman, YOU are the Chocolate Guru – no doubt about EITHER of you………
Pam
I always love your comments Pam (and Sam), they are so true and wise…
Awww….how nice….Happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow to you both – a very “chocolate-approved” special day I might add!
Pam (and Sam)
Guru Bowie looks like he’s already torn up a few egos in his day! Ready for the next one!
Well, a guru’s got to do what a guru’s got to do…
He imparts it daily with just his presence.
This sounds like coming from a real Guru…
Looks like Mimi got her paws on the keyboard.
Being a black cat I hope you specialise in ***dark*** chocolate oh enlightened master Bowie!
There’s only dark chocolate in this house Bob… Real chocolate must be very dark!
Beautiful!
Thank you Marilia!
World’s most photogenic cat. Great picture!
Pranams, Bowie. It’s customary to bring a guru something. Catnip perhaps. No, I wouldn’t want you to humiliate yourself in front of your devotees. I’ll think of something else. Blessings, Alia
We can all learn something from our favorite Guru, what it is I’m still not sure….
*Swooning* Sorry, I lost myself in your eyes Mr Bowie, you enchant me!
Mr. Bowie obviously has much wisdom. But I’m sure you have much chocolate and coffee wisdom, Herman!
I LOVE that! Cat guru. hahaha awesome
What do you mean Bowie can’t talk? Look at those eyes! They speak words so loud I can hear them from here. And he is saying, “It doesn’t matter whether you choose chicken or beef. Both are meat. And meat is destiny.”
You should see my eyes when I’m looking at chocolate…
