Buddhist bodhisattva cat.

There is a story about Ramana Maharshi and a cow that came to his Ashram that was very spiritually developed. After the cow, (named Lakshmi) died Ramana said, when asked, that an animal can attain enlightenment and sometimes even a flower. Although both are very rare. He did not directly say that Lakshmi attained enlightenment but the man telling the story implied that he thought that is what happened with Lakshmi.
