How I got my name, MaoMao
It can be traced to the day I was 'discovered' from the HDB void deck. Since I was still an 'unadopted' entity, I was merely called by the meow meow sound which I rarely make, or the Cantonese phrase for cat, 'Mau' ... I reckon I was stuck with the name from that day onwards. Many attempts were made to find me a proper name .... but it was all futile ... By then, I had grown accustomed to it.
My Master was unduly embarrased whenever I was introduced to friends and to the vet .... MaoMao was thought to be a silly name ... my learned Master decided to change the 'u' to an 'o' to make it sound more interesting (or absurd or pretentious if you ask me) .... but lest one should forget, a certain individual who changed the course of China was also called Mao. So here I am, posing next to my favourite Red Pillow ... a symbol of the Maoist Red heritage of my illustrious name ... MaoMao |
