Security Guard - A Cat

There is this shop in Padungan Road in Kuching that I visited. The family is very form of their cat.

This cat is very special as it plays the role of the shop's security guard. It can fly from the top of the shelf at any person who looks suspicious according to one of the sales girls. It sits very comfortably on top of the shelf near the door where he can sun bathe in the morning.

According to the shop keeper, it not only catches rats but it is a faithful guard "cat".

He  becomes a part of the friendly shop atmosphere and a "conversation piece". Some cat loving customers even come by just to say hello to the cat.

Kuching is a city of cats and this cat has been with the family for so long that they also cannot remember when exactly the cat came to live with them. But they have come to love and depend on the cat.

A guard dog is not possible to have in a shop in Malaysia because of the Muslim clientele who might be afraid when they see a dog. Muslims cannot touch dogs which are considered not clean.

Perhaps this meow meow is the only Guard Cat in the whole of Sarawak.
