Pussy Cat Pussy Cat, where have you been?

Back in our old neighborhood, Kah Yen had always looked at cats from a distance. Like any other children, she found cats and other small animals fascinating, but we never allowed her to go near the cats, let alone touch them. The reason being the cats in our old neighborhood generally do not look very clean, some of them are so big they look threating!

Now that we have moved to our new neighborhood. There isn't any cat to be found, except one small yellow cat. Because it is the only one, we see each other very often, or rather Kah Yen sees it very often. Because she sees it very often, she starts to like it. And because Daddy allowed her to touch it, they have now become the best of friends.

These are photos of Kah Yen and the cat taken at different days, usually on the way to school or on the way back home. It has become a routine everytime Kah Yen sees it, Daddy and her will stop for a while for her to play with it, even during the morning rush hours.

She runs to it when she sees it and says "Hi" from a distance.


She bends down at its side to "Sayang" (touch) it.


She tries to strike a conversation with it.


She is super happy everytime she meets it.


The best thing is, she seems to be able to communicate to the cat, according to her own words. When the cat says "Miao", she says the cat is saying hi to her. When the cat moves its front paw, she says the cat is saying byebye to her. When I asked her "Are you sure?" She gave me an absolute yes. Such is the beauty of children's imaginations!
