三重義天宮的貓;Cats in Yih-Tien temple

三重義天宮:地址:三重市車路頭街150號
Yih-Tien Temple is at Sanchong City, it's a place where Arion lives.
之前耳聞貓博士夫人介紹,義天宮有貓咪,在上週末,找了一個時間,偷偷去訪貓。
I was hearing from cat friend that there are cats in this temple, so I went to this temple last weekend, try to find cats.
由於廟口搭了很高的棚子,走進去的時候入口有點暗,拾級而上有點進入神秘的殿堂的感覺。心裡想著,怎樣的廟裡面會有貓咪呢?
The entrance is a little bit dark, but still very good, while I went stairs, I was wondering, how come there are cats here?
當然是請在地人大仔,載我來的囉 :)
Certainly, I asked for Arion bring me here, he is local person, but he also comes to this temple at the first time.
於是,我看見貓咪了,你看見了嗎?
And, yes, I saw a cat, do you see that cat?
來,我們靠近一點,你看見貓咪了嗎?
Come, let's come closer, do you see cat?
哈囉。貓咪跟我打招呼,他的眼神就是,又是一個來拍我的人。但是我看到他好開心,這真的是我第一次在廟的跪墊上面看見有貓咪坐著不動如山。
Hello, this cat also said hi to me. I think his eyesight means :"Oah another cat vistor". But, I was so happy seeing him, this is the very first time I see cats in temple.
更讓我欣賞的,是跪墊邊邊,摳抓得如此美麗而藝術至極。
And the better things is, they sharpen their claws on this hassock. This is very nice.
貓咪說這根本沒有什麼,我只是幫助信徒們祈求的時候膝蓋感覺到更加舒適。
The cat said,"this is nothing, I made these hassock more softer, and the people came to pray something, their knees will be feeling good."
我去的那天,飄著雨,大約三點半,人很少,也感覺貓咪好像都在外面活動,但是即便只有看到一隻,我已經心滿意足。
Last weekend while I went there, there was a little bit rain, around 15:30, few people and seems cats were outside, but even I only saw 1, I was happy enough.
This is the divination stick. There are numbers on it.
看見籤詩處的下面有貓飼料和水嘛?挖~ 想要知道籤詩的內容,還可以看一看廟貓吃的東西呢。
When you see your number on the stick, you can come here to find your oracle sign here, and you can see down there, there are cat foods and water.
一下子,有冷氣團的秋天,也暖呼呼起來了。好棒、好棒的廟宇啊。
Suddenly I felt so warm and happy at this winter season. Cats with oracle, so great~!
咦?另外一隻,喴~ 等等我。讓我拍一下啊。
Oah~! Another cat, hangon, let me give you a shot~!
這隻貓更像阿丹了,他趕緊走來,並且給我一個大蹭蹭。然後就去廟外面散步了。
This cat is more like Adan, he came to me very quickly and gave me a big rub, and went outside soon.
此時我聽見廟內參拜的信徒正在擲茭,我想說那隻坐在跪墊上的貓會不會因為茭的聲音離開,結果他竟然睡成這樣了。哇~! 過然定力深厚。
And I heard someone made noise inside the temple, I was worry that cat will be waken by the noise, and I back in there to see him. And he slept more deeply. Wowww....the temple cats are used to hearing and seeing everything.
這真的是讓我充滿了笑容的宮廟。我們焚香祭拜了一輪,小小意思的捐獻一點香油錢感恩這個很棒的義天宮這麼愛護貓咪。此時,剛剛出去散步的貓咪回來了。
I am very very grateful for the people in this temple love cats that much. So Arion and I did the worship. And after worshiped, that second cat back to us.
一直狂蹭大仔。這隻貓說:你身上有阿丹認可的標記,你一定是好人。
He kept rubbing Arion again and again, I think he knew there are Adan's smell on Arion, so he thinks Arion is a very good person.
多麼諂媚啊。太可愛了。
So so lovely.
可惜我今天沒有帶零食給他吃,太可惜了。義天宮真是個很棒的廟,我以後還會常常來的。
It was pity that I didn't bring any temptation on me. Or I can give him some yum yum treatment. I will back to this temple again.

三重的這間寺廟真的讓人看了覺得好溫暖唷!
人類跟貓咪同處在一個空間下也可以這麼和諧呀~
如果淡水的那些住戶或商家也能這樣就好了..
唉....

Oh Michico! This temple with the kitties is just wonderful! It is so beautiful and extra special because they allow cats to live there. It must be a very blessed place to worship. I would feel warm and safe there too. I can see the cats trust you and Arion. They know you are good people.
I had tears reading about Adan's dream of Caesar. It was so sweet.
Sending Hugs,
Lorianna

Thanks for showing us the beautiful temple! I am glad the cats who live there are safe and happy.

How wonderful!

Mommy really wishes she could come and visit. You wouldn't find kitties being allowed to hang out in churches around here. :(
