My Thai Cat

By Pratoomratha Zeng
A Siamese cat was given by a friend of Zengs father. Zeng named the cat, Sli Sward.
Zeng recalled the time when his cat was elected by the villagers as the Rain Queen
because of what the cat did during the drought in 1925.
There was a time when the villagers were so desperate for rain. So, they performed the
old Brahmo-Buddhist rain ceremony called the Nang Maaw, the queen of the cats. This
ceremony had been performed by the peasants since time immemorial. However, nothing
happened
One day, an old lady visited Zengs father to ask Sii Swards help for rain. At first, Zeng
was hesitant because he thought that Sii Sward might be killed for an offering. As a
tradition, to refuse the will or command of the father was a grave sin. Fortunately, his father
understood Zengs feeling. So, he did not let the Siamese cat die for an offering.
Nevertheless, they continued the ceremony. Sii Sward was put inside the cage and was
applied with perfume. The cat misbehaved but was later calmed down when Zeng
approached it. During the ceremony, the cat fell asleep. The villagers offered their chant
until the Siamese cat fell asleep for three days. Then days went by, rain fell. Since then,
Sii Sward was elected as the Rain Queen of their village.

What is the story all about?
How did Sii Sward become instrumental in praying for rain?
Do we have the same practice of worshipping here in the Philippines?
How do we Filipinos and Thais regard cats?
In what ways are Filipinos similar to or different from the Thais in terms of praying
or worshipping?
