Eagle Thailand’s First Cat?

Featured Replies

Bangkok:- Eagle has become the only cat that is allowed to enter and leave the Thai Kufah building which is the office of the prime minister at will, Matichon Online reported.


Matichon said Eagle appeared for the first time inside the Government House compound last month and the stray cat has become much loved by both Government House-beat reporters and Government House officials soon afterward.


The news website said the cat is called by most reporters as Eagle because of the green collar being worn is of Eagle brand.


According to Matichon, while reporters were waiting to interview Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, they often spotted the black cat with green collar playing cheerfully in front of the Thai Kufah building.


On Friday after the cat was seen running to the front door and scratching the door after lying and rolling around in front of the building. An official opened the door to let Eagle inside. Normally, reporters are not allowed to enter the building without approval from the prime minister, let alone a stray animal.


Reporters, who were waiting for the prime minister, saw the incident and some wondered whether the prime minister would emerge holding the cat.


Matichon said no one knew where Eagle came from. The cat was seen the first time last month, running and lying in the middle of the road when the Government House held an orchid fair.


Eagle was also seen lying and playing in front of the Naree Samosorn Building as well when the spokesmen team held press conference after Cabinet meetings.


Sometimes, Eagle asked reporters to open the “Sparrow Nest” or reporters’ den to enter and lie in the air-conditioned room.


Sometimes, Eagle waited for the prime minister’ motorcade, prompting a police to hold the cat for fear of being accidentally run down.


In some evenings, Eagle was seen fighting against a monitor lizard, prompting a reporter to intervene and take the cat to the reporters’ den.

Can't beat a stray pussy about the place you know.

Handy for a bit of petting and stroking, tends to relieve pressure on those who indulge in such practices with dear pussy.whistling.gif

That should be the title they use all the time.

green collar, should check if it has a camera and microphone....It might be a spy-cat trained by Thaksin.
