Korean Cat Monk Video

A YouTube video from a Korean monastery claims their resident cat does prostrations and meditates with the monks and refuses to eat meat. If I understand the video correctly the cat is inspiring others to follow the Buddha and is certainly loved by the monks at the monastery. I’m afraid our temple cats are not so virtuous. After finding them drinking from the water offerings, they have been banned from the temple.
