12/30/2005: Cat and duck rescue



The gent's name is Othman Awang; he's in the northern Malaysian village of Kepala Bukit; and he's rescuing his pet cat and pet duck from floodwaters, in this fine Reuters image via WaPo.

Okay, you have a cat, a goose, and a pail of feed. You want to cross the river... I've heard this story somewhere before.

I love the look on that guys face. Something is going right on a day when things were looking pretty bleak.

I'm amazed at the cat putting up with that, even it it is for his own good.

Since when does a duck need rescuing from water?

I'm with Glatt. This guy's got a defective duck?!?!

And that cat! It looks like it's about to hurl.

Duck, goose...whatever, the dude clearly is enamored of it. It's true man-duck (or, possibly man-goose) love. Good for him!

That explains why the flu experts are so worried about ducks being the link to humans.

That's an African goose and he's having an entertaining time trying to dodge the nip that goose is trying to deliver to relieve its ire over having a cat in its bucket of feed.

How can we be sure they are his pets, people in that part of the world eat ducks and geese pretty regularly... no comment on the cat...

Me thinks that Kepala means head. At least in Indonesia? Bukit http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...e=UTF8&q=bukit
