'Al-Fayed' loves smelly 'pet'

WONOSOBO, Central Java (JP): He has a rich colored shiny coat,
lounges anywhere he likes but has a weakness for the lowly pet
(flat beans notorious for their offensive odor), despite his name
associated with the rich and famous.

This is Al-Fayed the feline, resident of Pagerejo village,
Kertek district of Wonosobo. The owner, farmer Samiadji, says his
wife was annoyed when Dodi, their daughter's boyfriend, broke her
off at whim.

He decided to name their cat Dodi Al-Fayed after the late
close friend of Diana, Princess of Wales, infamous for his
playboy-like inclinations. "But he felt uneasy knowing how his
wife and daughter felt, and used the surname instead," a
relative said.

Al-Fayed meows for anything that anyone is eating: rice
crackers, vegetables, pet and fruits and demands his share of
carresses with purrs and sharp claws.

A fellow inhabitant with which he has cool relations is
Panther, the dog, who mostly glances at the cat and his comforts
from outside the door. (anr)
