After 3 months of deep meditation Abbot Rinpoche called his 3 most favoured monks to him and asked them the question above all other questions....
Abbot: And how wil you seek to attain enlightenment brother?
1st Monk: I will meditate in a deep dark cave for seven years eating
nothing but one bowl of rice daily.
Abbot: And how about you brother?
2nd Monk: Master, I will contemplate the sound of one hand clapping in
the purifying snows of Annapurna.
Abbot: Worthy quests, my disiples. And brother, what shall be your
path?
3rd Monk: I'm going to train cats to jump through hoops.

I don't know. Maybe if it was a ring of fire...
No, really. Great shot! I love the look of intense concentration on the cat's face.

Being into meditation and owning 5 cats (3 of them adopted from a Buddhist Monastry) I feel especially involved with your photo...;-)

This is a rigged shot. The cat is actually jumping -backwards- through the hoop. The tail is kept straight with hair spray ;-)
Most entertaining!
