The Cat at the Puja.- A story

During the Puja
the Master asked the disciples to tie the cat
because it was disturbing the Puja.
So it went on till the Master died. Later the cat also died.
The disciples faithfully brought another cat to tie during the Puja.
They thought that it was an essential part of the Puja.

Now after many years the authorities sent strict directions and rules how to
tie the cat with ritual purity. Color of the cat also had to change according to the seasons.
it was made compulsory to  follow the rules while tying the cat during the Puja.
