"On Inle Lake is Nga Phe Chaung Monastery - Jumping Cat Monestery.
The monks have trained the cats to jump through hoops and through their arms. The cats are happy to perform this acrobatic feat, as their trainer rewards them with a treats. The two or three dozen cats, are all named after famous celebrities like Madonna and Mick Jagger. Their trainer, U Nan Dee, remembered my mother. He will be delighted to show you how fame has come to this small monastery since the Houston Chronicle did a piece on the cats a few years ago." |
