Eigentlich gestaltet sich das Leben im Kloster des Dalai Lama recht angenehm und friedlich - nur nicht für die Katze Seiner Heiligkeit. Denn ihr neugieriges, unruhiges Naturell macht ihr bei der Suche nach Glück und Gelassenheit immer wieder einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Deshalb schickt sie der Dalai Lama auf eine Mission: Sie soll den Zauber des Augenblicks erforschen, das Geheimnis wahren inneren Friedens.

Wer wüsste besser als eine Katze, worin das Geheimnis des Glücks besteht? Der Dalai Lama verreist für einige Wochen und stellt seiner "kleinen Schneelöwin", wie er sie nennt, eine Aufgabe: Sie soll die Kunst des Schnurrens erforschen und so die Ursache für wahres, tiefes Glück herausfinden. Bei ihren Streifzügen trifft sie einen mysteriösen Yogi, sie belauscht Professoren, hochrangige Lamas, berühmte Schriftsteller, errettet eine Yogaklasse vor einem drohenden Unglück und findet schließlich Erstaunliches über ihre geheimnisvolle Herkunft heraus.

Auch an der Katze des Dalai Lama geht die Zeit nicht spurlos vorüber – sie wird alt. Doch die in Ehren ergraute »Schneelöwin« ist immer noch genauso neugierig, naseweis und wissensdurstig wie eh und je! Die Frage, die nicht nur unsere Katze bewegt: Ist ein zukünftiges Leben mit Altersschwäche und (Katzen)keksen für Senioren zwangsläufig ein Grund zur Verzweiflung? Aber nicht doch! Denn eines ist ihr klar.
