Auspicious

Nice date and time to post a secret.

I confess that my dream pet is no longer a cat.

Yes that you may already know.

Okay some didn't even know my dream pet is a cat.

Never mind.

What you don't know is my current dream pet.


I liked cats coz they are mysterious. And pretty. And independent.

But I found a pet that's all that, and more.


My dream pet...

Is an owl.

See I found a pet that has eyes as mysterious as a cat's. It looks beautiful and sometimes even cute. But what makes it even more mysterious than a cat is the simple fact that owls are less common.

It's chinese name is 猫头鹰 after all... 

That translates to "cat-headed-eagle".

So it's like a cat... but cooler coz it's also like an eagle.


How much do we know about owls anyway?




And though the cat is an elegant hunter that can catch prey, there is something about the way an owl hunts that is so drop-dead gorgeous.

And deadly.



This took my breath away.


So the owl is my new dream pet-

coz it's so mysterious,

so beautiful, 

and so deadly- 

all at the same time.
