siopao

May 9, 2007

Though still quite far from becoming actual parents, domestic life has had some interesting changes lately after we've brought the new meowler home. This is Siopao, our six-month-old furball. The pet store called him a Persian, but for a shop that deals mainly in reptiles, I think that ranks them low in the credibility department — especially when you kind of get an inkling that the owner thinks cats are just a smaller breed of dog.

The idea of getting a cat started out with a joke of a name. Siopao is a local meat bun that was rumored to have been filled with cat meat a few years back. So see, white and fluffy on the outside, meaty on the inside, and a dot that marks it as bola-bola.

I think he looks like a ragamuffin, but he doesn't go limp when you pick him up (one of the striking characteristics of ragamuffins). In fact, most times he goes all sorts of puppy: follows you around, plays catch, pants and lolls his tongue when he gets excited over a game. Whatever breed he actually is, he's gorgeous and knows it.
