Sunday Matinee - PG Rated

What the strays are up to in Cat-o-Bar-Roo (at least when I was there last month!) OK, watch this video at your own peril.

Angelina's note: What can I say? In about 10 weeks' time there will be little kitties (progeny of Black and White) roaming the streets of Cat-o-Bar-Roo. Thank God I was spayed! purrr...meow!

Cat-o-bar-roo

Oooh...how time flies. It was last weekend when we were in Kota Bharu (new spelling = title) and I haven't finished telling stories from there. Better late than never, eh?

Anyway, I think all strays at the market came out in full force to welcome us. And they willingly pose for my resident pawpawrazzi.

I believe this chap had just had his meal of the day that some hoomans kindly gave.

Look carefully. I believe it's a tuxie kitten that this boy was concentrating on, rather than his trade.

Mr "Black-is-Beautiful" has an enviable job....let's zoom out a bit.......

Aaahhh....can we trust him to guard those treasures from the sea?

Black-and-White beauty snoopervising....

She must be salivating at her "chargers" - those delectable dried fish and steamed crackers...

This tuxie won't budge....

...from the front tyre of our rental for the day...

...cheeky! So, we had some drinks at a stall nearby while waiting for HRH to move away...

Angelina's note: We saw a courting couple that deserves an entry of their own...teeheehee...also thanks to HRH Monyet King for coming up with the new spelling of Kota Bharu. His version: cat-o-baru. Our version: cat-o-bar-roo (the last bit shows my Aussie origin). purrr...meow!

Who's Under the Table????

Mama said it's hard to eat in peace whenever we dine out. Almost always, there'll be strays needing to be fed. Worse if Dad tags along. He's a softie when it comes to begging felines (even at home, mind you!).

Anyway, this gorgeous tabby came to our table while we were dining at a seafood joint in Cherating. And guess what? Dad fed her. Mama pretended she didn't see what was going on....cheeky!

Kitty being fed the last piece of the fish. Dad fed her at least a quarter of the fish we had.

Is that a satiated look or is she still hungry? Anyway, she looks well fed. Must have been TLC she was craving for.

Nicole's 2-cent: Hurry up, Mama. Stock up on the kibbles for strays fast. purrrr *giggles*

p.s. Mama has been updating the F2F blog. click here. Oh, she has also stock up the kibbles for strays.

Furrriends @ Ferringhi

If ever you travel to Penang (especially you Uncle Lee...yesss....you!), purrrlease go visit some furrriends I've made at Batu Feringghi. You don't have to carry kibbles or Royal Fancy Feast in your luggage. Just go to a beachside foodcourt named Kompleks Bayusenja (there's a side road leading to the public beach next to Park Royal) and patronise a drinks stall run by a very nice uncle. Sorry, I didn't ask for his name but this uncle has a very distinctive moustache so let's call him Uncle Moustache, OK? We discovered him by accident when we ate seafood at a stall next to his and had to order drinks from him.

While we were having dinner, several cats came to say hello. Dad gave them some fish but they refused to eat. Hmmm....upon closer inspection, the cats seem well-fed. What they enjoyed most was Dad's magic touch....he was generous with the head rubs and scritches...talk about tender loving care....I was seething with jealousy, OK?

We chatted up Uncle Moustache when we paid the bill for the drinks. Apparently, he's been feeding 13 cats in the area and spends like RM30 a day to give them fresh fish. Isn't he wonderful? We also saw the seafood stall kitchen staff feeding some of the cats. Ooohh...what a life. Beach living with plenty of fresh seafood.... Hmmm...I wonder if any of them has ever been to the vet?

These guys were very active...but camera shy. Lovely toots there, people!

This black and white beauty sleeping on the floor of Uncle Moustache's stall....totally oblivious to the noisy surrounding.

Uncle Moustache (in red and white striped shirt) attending to a customer. New born kittens in a box at his feet.

This black beauty enjoying fish head.

This tabby queen just gave birth. Uncle Moustache kept an eye on the kittens while mummy cat gets tender loving care from strangers. That's Dad's hand doing his magic!

Angelina's note: The next time we're there, we'll definitely buy drinks from Uncle Moustache. We applaud your generosity, uncle. purrrr....meow!
