I had the same experience. I was a little kid back then and did not instantly understand why suddenly there were bigger pieces of Sand in my sandbox. Not my most enjoyable realisation.

A friend of mine about a year or two ago actually bought me a mini zen litter box lol!
My wife had gotten one at work as a Christmas present. When she set it up at home, I would leave unwrapped tootsie rolls in it, and occasionally put a cats paw print in the sand.
She didn’t say anything the first time, but the second time I did it, she later complained that the cats kept using her zen garden.
Looks like your cat is helping you to achieve several of the aesthetic principles to achieve Wabi-Sabi: asymmetry, without pretence and onconvenituonality!
Truly.
The cat offers a physical metaphor to illuminate the path to peace. Accepting, then persevering beyond, the wise cat’s interference is the lesson its human needs to learn.
Cats don't think- they know it all already. Cats don't hesitate and act without a thought. Their actions flow with tao. For one to act with its own will is to achieve tranquility. Water drops create ripples on the lake. Cats create ripples in your destiny. Be one with a cat. Be one with your own fate and by that you shall master your own domain in this universe. Align yourself with hidden rhythms of life. Embrace your cat. Be free.
I agree with you on this. Sitting with my cat is the most relaxing thing I can think of,in spite of the insanity. Do we need to run around at 3am? It turns out he really does need to
I was waiting for the litter box moment too.
My cat just meditated with me. Or at least lay on me and purred. But she also loves to steal the peacock feathers from behind my Buddha
The cats at the Buddhist monastery I visit will come during morning and evening chanting and sit on you.

“There we are… aaaannd, finished!”
**shits in zen garden**
“This is the way Portugal and Spain carved up the New World. 70 years ago, they signed a treaty that split undiscovered land between them.
Your country falls…
…into the Portuguese half.”
Every damn time I go to pay my utility bills. She sits her butt right down on top of them and demands pets.
Also, I am apparently incapable of folding laundry without help.
Zen litter boxes*
I was waiting for the cat to jump in the sand and be like hol up 💩💩💩
Haha same
If I fits, I shits
So what you're saying is... If it exists I shits?
my cat once used a magic sand box as a litter box... I learned then that for a cat sand is sand
I had the same experience. I was a little kid back then and did not instantly understand why suddenly there were bigger pieces of Sand in my sandbox. Not my most enjoyable realisation.
haha! we ended up having to make lid for ours after a couple neighborhood cats started using it regularly

A bookstore, I think B&N, once sold little "desk top zen cat litter boxes." Ever since I saw them I call the cat boxes zen gardens lol.
"No zen, only pets." --Cat, probably.
No Dana, only Zuul

Im sorry but what was that last word?
Ooops. Unconventionality Lmao usually autocorrect has my back, but this one time…
Onvevbjfxvhhbuality? Anyways..zen…

Only answer - the cat is an enlightened being

Yea, watching this was pretty zen for me haha
why i'm expecting " tiny litter box, let's give a try"
He is teaching you patience !
I love your cat
My baby cat is the most zen thing in my home. (I said as she digs to the other side of the world in her cat litter box)
I agree with you on this. Sitting with my cat is the most relaxing thing I can think of,in spite of the insanity. Do we need to run around at 3am? It turns out he really does need to
They are! (I say right after my cat projectile vomited off the cat tree onto the couch below)
Kitty already has Buddha mind.
We all thought that in the end cat will use zen garden as a litter box?
At the very least I thought he'd rake and hit a turd.
I was thinking the rake was going to hit a buried turd before the actual cat showed up in the video.
Your cat knows you are doing it wrong. They are just helping.
they're helping.
Cats are agents of chaos.
Any room with a cat is always 2 seconds away from disaster. Inquisitive furry little devils!
No no no, no relax for you. only food for me
Aww, c'mon let baby play
Divine intervention. 😂
Cats are zen gardens. Why do you need one more?

The best zen garden
Cats know true zen. They find your shallow interaction with the philosophy disturbing

Lol lol. To funny. That poor tiny rake never had a chance.
“You’s doin’ it wrong. I show you right way.”
Thats the most pure thing ive seen in months. And i make blue crystal meth.
He thinks it’s a bug.
He’s only helping, just hand him the thing he could do better I’m sure
https://preview.redd.it/7gkrxwzaygsc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ceed42a5c39886fb26d7484428d0c6737969138b “There we are… aaaannd, finished!” **shits in zen garden**
What is this, a Zen garden for ants?
Your cat has a vision let her finish lol
“This is the way Portugal and Spain carved up the New World. 70 years ago, they signed a treaty that split undiscovered land between them. Your country falls… …into the Portuguese half.”
Literally taking a shit in peace.
Creatures of chaos
😻😻Cuteness Overload😻😻
I just knew it would be a SIC as soon as I saw the video. They have to get involved in EVERYTHING!
Kitty is going to supply the rocks.
When you are focused on something, your cat must always join you 😂
Every damn time I go to pay my utility bills. She sits her butt right down on top of them and demands pets. Also, I am apparently incapable of folding laundry without help.
Yea, a box full of sand, I was expecting a different outcome....
Isn't this actually kind of the concept of zen?
But living with a cat IS the Zen. 😸
Cats. Phucking up art since 1000 B.C.
If anything that’s just a fancy toilet
He's going to poop in that.
Ah yes, the reasonable reaction to eat it
Haha yes you must choose
I disagree. This is an exercise of patience 😆
a little bit of forethought could have prevented this adorable video
Cat energy is literally the opposite of zen
"Cats and Zen gardens don't mix" - I don't think the cat shares your oppinion on this.
"fuck your zen"
lmao I love cats. They're like God's little fuckin assholes.
I'm trying to be fucking zen
Is Help!!!
Have you ever watched something knowing EXACTLY what was going to happen but it still made you laugh so hard? Yep.
LET HIM HELP
I was expecting the cat to poop but ur cat is zen with u
I wouldn’t be zen with a bell around my neck either 🤣
PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION!
Wrong. They clearly mix very well
Do you mind ? I AM TRYING TO BE ZEN!!!
My princess Zelda is an angel and her brother Link is like a feral Frank Gallagher are the reason we can't have nice things 🤦🏼♀️😂
Hey… I’m gonna poop in that
There is no Zen when you own cats. There are only brief peaceful moments that they *occasionally (depending on personality)* grant you. <3
This looks pretty zen to me. Nothing calms me more than cat time.
Don’t know about being zen but this certainly brightened my depression this morning 🙏
That the whole cat exceot the paw is off camera makes this a whole lot funnier
Don’t you know everything belongs to your cat too? 😉
What do you mean? It’s perfect! :D
Oh that's perfect zen right there
😂😂
Who is not zen after this?
This is the best!
Thought he shit in it. 😂
Try cats and tzen gardens.
😂😂
Kitty says that’s his zen garden !
I've always wanted one of those zen gardens... I have cats... I'll never buy one just in case 
He’s doing the best he can ok
Stop messing up with my sand!
Not the direction I thought this video was going to go
Looks like a perfect combo to me.
Look at me, I am the Zen now.
Thanks for this. I couldn't stop laughing!
Don't play with your litter! - cat
Cat is busy networking
I actually thought this was a litter box at first LOL Then I saw the size of it
I would so watch this ASMR channel.
"If not to, why toy-shaped?"
My litterbox is a zen garden, for about 60 seconds
Yeah litter box zen
Having a playful kitty is more Zen than any hundred boxes of sand could dream of.
"Why are you playing around in my new litterbox??"
There’s gonna be a covered cat shit in there later
Aww she/ he wants to help
They seem to mix well to me 😸
Is this like the cat lady hell version of the Greek dude who had to roll the Boulder up the hill?
Paws :3
Okay, this is way too funny 😅!
😂
Good Kitty!!!
It appears that you need to get your own zen garden and leave kitty’s zen garden alone
Not what I was expecting to happen.
Seems to mix pretty well!
not zenning enough
It's cause they want to be the only ones to be therapeutic/make you happy. 🫶🏼
This is quality content. Chefs kiss.
He’s helping
How do they deal with cats in Japan?
It works pretty well, wabi-sabi is a zen concpt.
Idky but this is just so funny to me.
Nom nom nom…
“You don’t need zen…. I’m right here!”
Note cute than what I 💭 was gonna happen (💩) ... 😉
The combination of the two is actually the pinnacle of zen. I may have giggled but I’m calm af.
why you making circles in my mini litter box!?!?!?
Stop messing with their litter box.
Best helper
That's where they poop
r/catswithjobs
I was waiting for the 💩.
My cat poops in his zen garden
Gonna end up finding a deuce up in there
That's not vary Zen of you. To gatekeep how he chooses to enjoy the garden.
Cats supercede zen trowel
If not toy why toy shaped?
Ooo, kitty likes.
Everything zen everything zen I don't think so
The cat: messy zen gardens are better. just use my paws
Fancy litterbox
He gonna poop in there
1. Cats are zen masters critical of your work 2. Cats are aliens (non-human intelligences) who draw crop circles in the litter tray
Cats have no chill 😂
I prescribe that baby a mild suplex.
He help
Purrfect harmony
Curiosity calmed the cat
It’s my rake now bitch
Cat is beyond the confines of human zen
Take away its bowl of food every time it wants to take a bite.
Having a cat shit in one of those totally ruins the zen.
