Features all-new footage and more duets. Better than the original! This is not a trick taught to Nora. She began sitting at the piano at about one-year-old. She's almost four now. She plays only when the mood strikes her, which is usually several time a times a day for short periods.

     Akala ko kuha mo yong picture of patethic cat, as in a concept sequel to your Carabeef shocking photo.

     At kamamatay lang last month ni Palito, the Siamese Cat, aka Jean Claude. Palito was my sister's cat. Siya ang maydala sa bahay, pero ako ang piniling amo ng
pusang ito. Cats select who will be their master, so they say.

     Malambing siya. At kahit na naging blind siya later on, hindi siya nagpapahalata na ganoon. What a fighting spirit! He died of dehydration. Hindi namin na-monitor na hindi na pala kumakain ng enough. It was too late when we rushed him to the animal hospital.

     I wasn't there to bury him at the Cat Memorial Park in Fairview. Too bad too sad.

     I was so busy in my sked. But I'm sure Palito is in cat heaven, if there is one. Or, he must have been born again as a fictionist or photographer. Nag-evolve na siya malamang. I will pay tribute to this cat by writing a short fiction about him. Or make a photo essay, why not.

Catty Chronicles 3

Hi!

I didn't know that there is a Cat Memorial Park in Fairview, Quezon City. It would be nice if you could post photos of it in your blog site.

Anyway, let me begin this -- My Catty Chronicles (In the near future, when I find the time, I shall be posting my drawings and artworks about my own tribe, the Cat Tribe):

It is said that Cats belong to the highest hierarchy of the animal kingdom. Their existence on planet Earth is not meant for the food supply chain or the dining table. Their body is not meant to be eaten.

But here in our country, some Chinese restaurants (ethnic slur not intended) are well-known for allegedly serving meat-bread called "siopao" where the filling is said to be that of feline meat. (Or maybe, you can try this chicken, err, "Kitten Fajitas" recipe and give us your reaction - LINK:

As you can see, cats know how to groom and have toilet etiquette, too.... (Hmmm, at least you can train them.)

Cats don't act like slaves, like the dog. They have dignity, great pride, grace and elegance. (They are even balletic, say! Or, even acrobatic.)

Moreover, they can fend for themselves. You can live them alone and they can survive. (That is why yours truly no longer feels miserable every time she'd see poor, shabby, little alley cats -- a.k.a. "pusakal" – desperately roaming city streets in search of food. That is said to be their karma in this lifetime. That is the lesson they have to learn, master this – the art of earning one’s keep (livelihood, or the daily grind).

Cats, like yours truly, who live in relative comfort inside a house, are in for another kind of training -- master the household routine and learn how to get along well with humans so that in their next reincarnation, they would have adopted to the culture of that household or community.

Have you noticed lately (if you have pets) that pampered and domesticated felines react more to ringing door bells and telephones than to ugly rodents stealing food in the kitchen?

Well, (another shocking revelation), in case there's a new child in your household who happens to be "slow" or clumsy or a bit "late" in mental or other developments that are unexpected or embarrassing to your great family lineage -- back off and think a second: Either it’s the first time for that child to be reincarnated as a human being, or, that child's last reincarnation must have been as one of the felines or dogs in the family (or maybe, he has another set of K, which is another story).

Meowww.....

Exotic Dish:
"Kitten Fajitas"

The trick to a good fajita is to marinate your meat well beforehand, to let the flavours infuse and to add succulence to a cheap bit of meat.

Kittens are a dime a dozen at the moment, you can pick up a handful of them for a couple of quid and, for that authentic Mexican flavour, they really have no equal.

Fuck the Old El Paso way, my fajita recipe is simple, natural and doesn't taste like utter shite. Slice the hottest chillis you can find lengthways and shove them up the kittens bum (you might need to use some sort of pipe to get them in). Rub chilli, garlic and lime juice into its eyes. This is a incredibly effective way of getting flavour straight into the bloodstream.

You can do this for several days prior to eating for maximum flavour. The minimum soaking time is two hours.

When you're ready, skin and gut the cat, slice thinly and cook briskly on a hot griddle with peppers and onions.

Serve with the usual gubbins and as much tequila as you can manage. Aproveche!
