Colleague author Rita Lee Chapman made me her weekly guest on her blog.

Rita Lee Chapman, author of fourteen books, did me the honor of inviting me to her weekly guest page on her blog.

One of her questions:

If you have owned pets, do you have a funny story you would like to share with us?
I have always had Siamese cats, and when I travelled to Iraq to settle there as a correspondent, they came with me. It was funny arriving with Zina and Banu (the Siamese couple of that time) at the airport of the Kurdish city of Sulaymaniya, where this was a first. Nobody had done this before. They wanted to see these cats of a kind that they had never seen before. Did they have to stamp their passports? Many working at the airport came to see and talk about them.
