Kucing (said KUUCHING) - Cat city, the city of cats, where cats rule and cats are the best
We always knew Kucing translates to Cat in malay/indo but I couldn’t really believe the town had anything to do with cats, that would be absurd right? Wrong! As we arrive we saw there were cat monuments everywhere, as we walked down the street each manhole in the footpath had the Cat council symbol on it, cats in the street, an adorable cat living at our guesthouse and cat souvenirs.
So I of course loved Kucing at first sight. We spent five days on holiday here, doing nothing but playing monopoly, watching cable, playing with 8 month Kimino the Tuxedo Kitty, walking around town and eating yummy food. 'Beds' guesthouse was like a home away from home, Dave and I could have stayed there for 6 months happily. I would canceled the rest of our trip to live in Kucing, but we had to move on after 5 days to KL before Java, which we did on July 9th my 28th birthday. And there is nothing better than spending your birthday in an Air Asia check-in line when the systems are down with Jet Star flashbacks a plenty. But we made it to KL for coffee, cake and a movie (Dave was very very nice to sit through Sex and they City 2 with me), in the end a lovely night.

Charming accommodation.Kuiching reminds me of the James Bond character from Goldfinger..Pussy Galore. Sex and the City Dave?.. I would have opted for the less painful options like 50 lashings or water torture.Only 2 weeks till I catch up with my baby..the vegemite sandwich will be ready..with a glass of wine(of course).Here's lookin' at you. Love papa.
Tiger loves the new blog. Has been sitting in the armchair for hours lapping it up. She shared a lil joke with me. She thought Kimino should be in a Komono to veil its hideous colouring. Boy, did we have a good chuckle.Think she's feeling a bit catty.
amelia you found a spiritual home ....?
Ha glad Tiger enjoyed the blog, but I would have to disagree with her thoughts on Kimino's coat...his tux was super clean and shiny!
I sure did find my spiritual home, a crazy cat lady at heart, oh dear.
Bring me home a souvenir. Anythng made of of real cat fur would be nice.
Anth. if you'd like a particularly nice fur, you could take my cat. Just don't let Amelia know. You know what Amelia's like...she's bound to go on about cruelty etc.
