The Chairman

In China, the word for cat is "mao," which sounds like "meow." Makes sense, huh? What's funny, though, is that it also sounds like the name of China's famous Chairman Mao.

So... last night, we found a super-friendly stray cat playing around our house, and we went outside to feed and play with her. Of course, she needed a name. And what better than "The Chairman," of course. Since she is a girl, we call her Ms. Chairman to her face. (Chairwoman just doesn't have the same ring.)

Anyway, here are some pics of The Chairman. We're hoping she comes around again tonight and every night! We really miss having pets around.
