I live in Clearwater, FL, Hooters' birth cradle, and overthere, the main attraction of Hooters is dwarfed by Jugs & Mugs', and Quaker Steak & Lube's booby chicks. China is not known to be a big-boob chick country. So? As much as I like to see all-American restaurants settling in foreign countries, I am curious to understand their hiring policy in China.

China is not known to be a big-boob chick country. So?

But, if you thikn about it, the mention of "cat" in the name does evoke some of the original meaning of the restaurant...though the meaning is not quite ascribed directly. "Why must I be like that/ Why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me..." “Cat Head” has a rather unfortunate meaning in locker room parlance, and I’d rather not go into it here.

“Why must I be like that/ Why must I chase the cat? Nothing but the dog in me…”

(I’m not going to translate da rufang, but you can guess what I wrote).  The name Owl Restaurant really, as Andrew points out, looses it’s meaning.  My proposed name is much better.
