1. My mum used to have phobia towards cats but since some stray cats dropped by our house, she can touch them now 🙂

5. Haha, same here, I need to sleep after Fajr (it is 3am here), it is quite hard to sleep with full tummy T__T
1. I have never touch cats before. Maybe I should and see if I could overcome my phobia. Or maybe NOT. haha
