The Cat Man of Kuala Lumpur

This is the ‘Cat Man’ of Kuala Lumpur.

He stands at the crossroads in down town KL every night, probably the best pitch in Malaysia, by McDonalds on the corner.

He rescues cats – feeds them – and gets them to sit on his motorbike all night.

He charges you to take pictures – any decent donation will do. If you try and take pics without paying, he will let you know about it.

What’s weird here - is that these cats do not move or run off. I asked if he drugs them – he angrily replied ‘no – I train them’, at this point in our conversation the cat on the tip of the seat in the picture was looking at him, and he shouted (more like screamed) something in Chinese, the cat then jumped of the seat walked to the grid in the street and took a pee, finished and got back on the bike seat.

I believed him.

Anyone else seen this man?
