A wooden pole carried at each end by 1 man is used to carry the basket with the cats in it. Other things needed are five pairs of candles and 5 paired flowers. Before putting the cat (nang maew) in the cage, the eldest among the ritual performers will say to the cats, “Nang Maew, may you pray for the rain to come”. When the basket cover is put on top, they made sure that the cat will still get some water splashes thrown by the people at the paraders. The cat is adorned around its neck with some accessories. It is then paraded through the village.
