| Very stressed by the move, yeah?! |
When the hotel changed hands (it’s now the Chelsea Plaza, in case you
didn’t know) the new owners, not being feline fans, ousted her. It was a sad
evening when we popped in for a drink and realized that she’d been given the
boot. The kindly F and B manager took her in as a short-term rescue solution
but it couldn’t ever be permanent.
‘Molly-Gate’ became a frequent topic of conversation amongst the Rydges
Plaza locals…and I’m sure that you can tell where this conversation is going!
Yes, Molly is now living out her retirement years chez moi!
Despite only moving in a week ago, she’s already striding around the
house like she owns the place. She’s remarkably chilled out and has thus far
spent a large proportion of her time sleeping. To the point where I’ve actually
asked: “Is she still breathing?!”
She’s staying indoors for a month until she gets used to the place, then
and only then will she be allowed out. Dubai has very strict rules about pets –
not only is she micro-chipped, but she also needs to wear a tag at all times
with a municipality number on it. This is a sign to any cat catchers (yes, they
do exist) not to scoop her up off the street and take her into their lair.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a furry, purring cushion next to me on
the sofa. An absolute treat!
