Does a kat have the Buddha Nature? .'.

Kaimana is the name of the cat that lives with my Mother and Sister in Australia, his name means "Diamond" in Hawaiian, fitting, since in his youth he had a prominent diamond on his forehead. (He's a scorpio to the best of our reckoning :)
For convenience we often found ourselves referring to him as "Kai," which led to my discovery that "Kai" meant "Ocean" and "Mana," like in many languages and cultures represented a sort of majiqal force or energy.
Quite an interesting bit of tribal linguistics there, Ocean-magic = Diamond. Makes perfect sense really.

Anyway - was poking around on Wikipedia and ended up at a plain-text representation of the Necronomicon (certainly not the nicest version I've seen. If you want to check out the Simon version of the Necronomicon, there's a (3mb!) pdf file at Fnordfiles. check in texts:eBooks:Occult) which mentions "Kaimanu" as being Sumerian for Saturn. (I assume that's in reference to the planet)

However: Saturn is son to Gaia (who I always associated Kym with) and according to wikipedia's page on Saturn(the God), during the festival Saturnalia(a celebration in his name) "...the roles of master and slave were reversed, moral restrictions lessened, and the rules of etiquette ignored." -- a fitting celebration for a cat if I ever heard one (Whoyou callin' a "pet"?)

Also - one of the rings of Saturn (the planet) is apparently the foreskin of Jesus Christ shot off into space (they sure knew how to hold a briss back then..)

So.. my cat is the foreskin of Jesus, and the English translation of my sister's name is in reference to the Crown of Thorns.. sheesh.

I should upload a photo of the jacket I got in Canada whilst on tour, I got it because it looked warm, and had a cool fluorescent logo on the back, I later realised that it was made by a company called "GSUS Sindustries" and the "cool" logo was a stylized crown of thorns :)
hehe.. whoops.

forgive the rambling I'm just having a laugh, and also forgive the poor research and bare in mind that it takes a _LONG_ time to flip between windows on this iMac, so all of this link pasting was quite the effort :)
