According to Amani, Sathiya was very excited to go home.
“He was very happy to return home.

> Kosmo! reported that Nor Anis Halyatie Halim participated in the Cat Fashion Week competition with her cat, Evian, just for fun and without any expectations.
However, in a turn of events, Evian was announced as the champion of the competition, beating out several dozen other cats from all over Malaysia.
Evian was dressed like royalty with a blue robe and a crown and managed to impress the judges and audience.
They took home a trophy and cash prize worth RM5,000.
“I never thought we would win. At first, our participation was just for fun, considering this was my first time taking part in a competition like this,” Nor Anis said.
“The concept of nobility or royalty befits Evian’s character who is always treated like a king.
“I haven’t thought about his reward yet, but I might feed him some boiled chicken,” she added about her Ragdoll breed.
