New Video: Meet Seneca

The Roman philosopher and playwright Seneca (4 B.C.-31 A.D.) believed that reason and virtue, in accordance with the properties of nature, are the basis for a good life.

The New York City cat Seneca (born 1996) believes that back scratches and head rubs, in accordance with the properties of falling asleep in your lap, are the basis for a good life....

“It’s safe to say that the only thing these two have in common is the name,” says David Benson, ASPCA Cares, of the beautiful creamsicle-colored male cat who was brought to our 92nd Street headquarters by a Humane Law Enforcement officer. “Still, we can call Seneca a thinking person’s cat, as he is more than willing to fall sound asleep in your lap while you work diligently away at great matters of philosophy and art.”
