Dharma the cat is a philosophical humorous webcomic by David Lourie. The topics of Dharma the Cat handle the basic philosophical questions of life and existence.
Characters in the comic are:
- Dharma - A Buddhist, black and white cat, whose thoughts can be interpreted by the reader.
- Bodhi - A Buddhist novice monk, who tries to walk the path to enlightenment.
- Siam - A mouse, hell-bent on cheese, who can communicate with Dharma.
The main idea of Dharma the Cat is not in the comic itself, but in the commentary of the comic strips. The author has sent the comic strips to be commented by representatives of different religions and their commentary of every episode is displayed in the web page, along with the authors. The included religions are: Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Humanism/Atheism, Hindu, Interfaith, Islam, Judaism, Paganism/Wicca and Taoism.
A Dharma the Cat collection was published by Simon & Schuster in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word cat:
“It is getting dark and time he drew to a house,
But the blizzard blinds him to any house ahead.
The storm gets down his neck in any icy souse
That sucks his breath like a wicked cat in bed.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
