Ever since he brought about the                      temple, the water has been loved by local residents who bless                      their health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As  walking down the front approach to the temple, I met a lovely kitty sitting in front of the gift shop.&lt;br /&gt;I said "hello" to the kitty and asked her if it's okay to pet her.&lt;br /&gt;She didn't say anything, but I just assumed she woudln't mind...&lt;br /&gt;A lady at the gift shop told me Mie just loves to sit there and enjoy people watch everyday...&lt;br /&gt;She is sure the poster girl of this gift store! She was very calm and gentle :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Mie" the Poster Kitty&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LXAvEGct0cw/S4ewdo72NDI/AAAAAAAAAZg/kxLay7HZ8zs/s1600-h/img6971.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 254px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LXAvEGct0cw/S4ewdo72NDI/AAAAAAAAAZg/kxLay7HZ8zs/s320/img6971.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442512697951663154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mie's gift shop was selling so many different kinds of &lt;a href="http://tabby-times.blogspot.com/search/label/my%20cat%20collections"&gt;welcoming cats!&lt;/a&gt;!!

I met these two kitties at the little square in the park. I found the black kitty first and was trying to take a picture of her(him??). Then the big tabby showed up!&lt;br /&gt;Those two kitties were so cute together :)&lt;br /&gt;It even seemed like the big tabby was protecting a little black kitty from bad human...?!?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Who are you?
