"Thus Purred Catius Cat" is a poem for children of all ages. This original short poem, first composed in January of 2013, was written to summarize the basic principles of Epicurean theory and practice in a form simple enough for even children to understand, but in a way that is also faithful to the meaning of the original Epicurean doctrines.
