She’s a calico with excellent taste.
Zizi Jeanmaire digs The Beats, too. After much deep feline reflection she marked out, with a lazy lick to the page, the following passage as her favourite: “My roshi said when the word comes out in a flash it’s not a word, it’s your true mental state; when you search for the right word, it will never be the right word.” (Gary Snyder to Allen Ginsberg, 4 September 1961)

Zizi Jeanmarie (Love the name!) has impeccable taste in Beat writers!

I named her after the French ballerina/actress. I think it is only appropriate that she prefers the beats with the strongest associations to Buddhism. She is a cat, after all.

I saw the best Manx of my generation destroyed by hairballs, mewing hysterical furless,
dragging themselves through the calico streets at dawn looking for a catnip fix …
