Kitty Heaven in Malaysia

-- Hooman Momma

I must be in kitty heaven, because when I stayed at Seaside Travellers Inn in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, I was surrounded by loads of beautiful kitties!!!

It's a quaint but lovely little resort 20 minutes from the city of Kota Kinabalu. The staff is very friendly, the accommodation homey, the food great, but what's really endearing about this place is that the owners are big kitty lovers, and they have a big heart for just every kitty! 

Don't tell my babies, but I somehow didn't miss them because I was surrounded by all these wonderful cats who make their presence felt by rubbing their beautiful body against my legs. Okay, I'm lying. I actually Skype-d and Whatsapp-ed with my mom ALL THE TIME to check on Qish and Rue, and I am thankful that wifi is available in every corner of this resort. This was my favorite spot:

Beware, though. Apply Citronella or whatever insect spray you have when you stay at this resort, because I got bitten big time by sandflies and I am still itching from the bites after 3 weeks! But the kitties more than made up for it. I actually felt that I didn't want to leave when it was time to! I never got a chance to touch Qish look-alike, because she would run away whenever I approach her. She's a total beauty though:

And this girl, oh, this girl! She showered me with lots of love and attention, I am actually missing her right now! She's gorgeous, don't you think? Just look at those beautiful markings! She's like Rue in black and white :)

NOTE: I was in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia from Aug. 22-29, 2012 for Coalition Duchenne's Mt. Kinabalu Expedition Climb. It was a total blast. More stories and photos of my trip can be found at The BRATpacker.
