Well, well, thank you everyone for your nice comments. I AM quite a QQQT lady. Here you go, my American heritage---do not know what it is modesty! Just like mama always said “You Americans are always like this, meaning Papa and me, sadly to say!”
Let’s see where we want to begin. Ok, people are always interested in where I am from and how old I am… You know, typical things. My reaction is “hold on, I can give you a narrative of my life but, isn’t that too nosy to ask a lady’s age?" Mama used to whisper to me “fake it”. So I am not going to reveal my truth age. Like most of the ladies do, in human’s term, I am “Forever 21”.
We are originally from Michigan. Mama adopted me when I was 1 year old. At the time, we were living on campus in Michigan. Oh, boy!, there are no words to describe how strict she was to bring me up. If I complainted about it, she would say “Chinese discipline can make you the finest cat in the world, you know why we are so smart?---discipline and discipline” repeating with her cute Chinese accent. She tried to train me to walk on leash, eat neat, sit on my own chair at the dinning table.” Manners, manners” she kept telling me that. Well, luckily she did not force me to learn Chinese like she did to poor papa. I was born and raised in United States, a born American citizen unlike her “naturalized”. I have a native tongue of English, no need for TOEFL!!! I am also a born talented Opera singer. Listen, “ “Meow1, Meow2, Meow3, Meow4, Meow5, Meow6 and Meowwwwwwwwww7” never miss a key, just simple like that! But mama did not allow me to practice while we were living in the dorm on campus. Because “Pet is not allowed” University policy. Mama said that we could not afford the $200 fine and having me taken away by the social workers, really they are Humane Society. Besides, mama could be charged with “leave minor at house unattended”. You know, those Human rules!
Michigan has a long cold winter, so we played hide and seek indoor a lot when mama was a student there. It is a small one bed-room apartment, I could easily smell her and find her hidden place. At the end of each play when I found her, she held me up in her hands and kissed me hard on my pink nose and praised me a SMART CAT. Boy! she really know how to train a cat—make you happy then do whatever I say. She thought I did not see she winked to her friends “See, the study in child psychology finally pays off ” Now, you know how Human make us PETS?”
I am indeed a well-educated, witty cat and had broad knowledge in all subjects. Mama say, I should go on pet Jeopardy” We demonstrated this zillions of times in front of her friends “Ethel bao bao(bao bao means  "baby" in Chinese), tell mama who is the first leader of China?” My answer issssssss “Mao!” -a piece of cake!
