Kuala Lumpur Cats

Bradley FarlessLeave a comment

These are just some of the cats we saw while we were in Kuala Lumpur.

 

This is Mr. Jinja.  He’s a cat at Hostel Cosmopolitan.

 

 

This is Whinny, Mr. Jinja’s friend.  She also lives in Hostel Cosmopolitan.

 

 

This cat was hanging out in an eating area in Kampung Baru, begging for scraps.  I gave it some chicken.

 

 

This girl was working at a satay stall we stopped at for a late meal.  In fact, we got there just before they were closing.  As they started packing up, cats started showing up.  I was wondering what was going on until the girl working at the stall pulled out a bag of cat food to feed them.  She seemed really excited to see the cats, and she had a good laugh when my wife ran over to watch them and had her photo taken with them.

Acrobatic Street Performers on Orchard Road

In January I happened to be walking down Orchard Road and I saw a crowd gathering.  There were two girls doing an acrobatics performance for tips.  They were really good, so I pulled out my camera and tried to record some of it.  The lighting was pretty bad since it was late, but this is what I got:

This past Saturday I saw them again, doing another performance on Orchard Road.  I was a bit surprised, but their act is good, so I suppose there’s no reason for them to stop.  This time, it was still early evening so I got out my camera and managed to get some better video this time, as well as the nice photo at the top of this post.

At the end of the second video, you’ll see a man walk up and lean forward.  He was dropping money into a basket.  We decided to chip in too, since the performance was really good and when we dropped our money in we saw that they were doing really well for themselves.  That’s good.  Real Talent should be rewarded.

I hope you enjoy the videos!  Let me know what you think of this pair and their act!
