The Purr-fect Friend(s)

Show your love and affection to your feline friend with "Khaotung Thanawat".

TEXT BY NATCHA M

Our studio today is filled with laughter and the meows of "Montow," the first Scottish Fold cat of "Khaotung Thanawat Rattanakitpaisan." Besides being a cat dad to two, he also plays the owner of a cat cafe in the new series "Pay Love with Cats," which is sure to capture the hearts of all cat lovers.

KHAOTUNG wears PANYA ME and ONITSUKA TIGER sneakers.

Mint: Please introduce yourself and your cat to everyone.

Khaotung: Hello, I'm Khaotang Thanawat, an actor from GMMTV, and today I'm here with our main star, Montow, a 5-year-old Scottish Fold.

Mint: This is the first time we've done a photoshoot together. Are you proud of your son?

Khaotung: I'm very proud. Actually, I've taken him to a few events before. Back then, he was a bit shy around crowds and wanted to run home. But today he's much calmer. I hope to do another photoshoot with him next time.

Mint: Why is it called Montow?

Khaotung: I wanted to name it after a food item, and then choose a name based on its color. In my mind, steamed buns are gray, so maybe it could be charcoal steamed buns (laughs). That's how I ended up with this name.

Mint: Did you have to adjust in the beginning when you became a new cat parent?

Khaotung: It was very difficult. Before I adopted him, I understood that cats were introverted and somewhat aloof. But because he was a kitten, he was unexpectedly mischievous. He was so energetic and fast, running up and down the stairs all night, jumping over me while I slept. Some nights I barely slept. So I had to adjust a lot.

Mint: After getting steamed buns, it seems like more cats have appeared now, huh?

Khaotung: Yes, her name is "Vaanjoy," and she's also a Scottish Fold. She's white and gray, like a mackerel. I adopted her after I'd had Montow for three years. I got more cats because I was worried Montow would be lonely, and when I saw Vanjooy in a live stream, I immediately took a liking to her, so I went and adopted her.

Mint: Does this mean there's a chance they'll increase the number of members?

Khaotung: Actually, I've wanted to raise a British Shorthair for a while now, especially one with blue fur, which is more of a grayish color. If I can't get that breed, I'd probably look for a Siamese, a Thai cat breed I'd like to raise as well. But maybe not for now. I'll let First raise it instead, so the other cats can be friends with each other (smiles).

Mint: When feeding steamed buns and sweet treats, what else do you give them, like rice crackers?

Khaotung: It's like I've gained another close friend who's become part of my family. Also, he's made me calmer and gentler. When I'm stressed, I feel more at ease because I'm with him.

KHAOTUNG wears DOLCE & GABBANA.

Mint: Did our love for cats lead us to accept the role in the series "Paying for Love with Cats"?

Khaotung: Partly, you could call it fate, because the character "Lynx" is quite similar to me. The difference is that he had a bad experience with cats. Let me explain, this series tells the story of a cat cafe, love, relationships, family, and the language of love. Lynx doesn't understand why his mother loves the cats more than him. Even when the cats do something wrong, his mother blames him instead. This has been a source of conflict for him since childhood, until his mother passes away. Then he meets "Tiger" (First - Kanaphan Puitrakul) while taking over the cat cafe from his mother. Lynx has to then try to understand the cats, with Tiger acting as the interpreter, translating the language of love that the cats and his mother are trying to communicate to him.

Mint: Do you have any advice for someone who wants to own a Scottish Fold cat?

Khaotung: For those looking for their first cat, I recommend a Scottish Fold. Both of my adopted Scottish Folds haven't needed any major vet visits and are perfectly healthy. One thing I'd like to mention is that this breed comes in both folded-ear and straight-ear varieties. I prefer the straight-eared ones because they are healthier, more playful, friendly, and affectionate.

Mint: Let's wrap up this column with our fans and Mint Magazine.

Khaotung: Please keep the series "Pay Love with a Pet Cat" in your hearts everyone! You can watch it on TrueVisions Now. It's a romantic, feel-good, fantasy series, and it even has talking cats! (laughs) We hope the story of Lynx and Tiger will help heal everyone's weary hearts on tiring days. We believe that anyone who watches this series will fall in love with cats just like us. Also, please check out the series "Kiang-Mangkon The Invisible Dragon," which is about a lion dance troupe.
