As part of my bid to learn at least a little bit of Chinese, I have given Luna an appropriate Chinese name: 月神, or “Queen of the Night”. The character 月 by itself refers to the moon.
And since my return our little Queen of the Night is enjoying, indeed demanding, much attention.
I did see more cats in China on this trip, this time mostly strays. This orange cat was in Fuxing Park in Shanghai.
Like most cities, there are lots of stray cats in Shanghai. I did hear from a friend who was showing me around that there is a new program to help feed and care for stray cats, but I have not been able to find any information online.
And now, for the first time in a while, we have an opportunity to relax, and to catch up on things at home:
Weekend Cat Blogging #197 is being hosted by LB and Breadchick at The Sour Dough. They have the winning combination of cats, music (audio gear) and red wine.
The auspicious Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos #88 is being hosted by Miz Mog and the Kitties at Mind of Mog. (Yes, it’s another Chinese reference, go look it up).
The Carnival of the Cats #261 will be up this Sunday at Nikitas Place
And of course the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
Queen of the Night is a lovely name for a lovely cat.
That is so nice ,to give Luna a Chinese name. I like the characters 🙂
