CATMANTOO a YouTube channel posted a video a week ago of a skateboard cat Didga, he skates around the Malibu showing off his skills,he is so well trained that he poops in the same toilet we do and also knows how to flush after its done.

CAT-MAN-TOO, with its pronunciation so identical to the city I live in, Kathmandu, it reminded me of a story. The story is a fictional myth about how my city’s name Kathmandu came into existence. I want to retell the story.

Long before the time when a traveller reached Kantipur [old name for Kathmandu], he didn’t felt as he had expected. He had once heard that in Kantipur there were more temples than houses, and more gods than people. He was disappointed because it was no longer true. Of course there were many temples and the people were still the kind souls yet they were ignorant and uncivilized.The place was so polluted, so stinking that it felt hard to breathe. People had no idea of latrine, they would shit in the bushes and backwoods, household waste was dumped just near their locality, nothing was managed, it was a chaos for an outsider. As he travelled on he found something extraordinary unusual. What he saw was a cat after pooping, it buried its own poop covering it with dust; what a miracle! he cleaned up his own mess. That cat did what humans do, but no Kantipurians would, cat did what a man would do, CAT-MAN-DO, genius. So, that’s how the name Kathmandu was derived.
