Rumi Service For Two At The Saint-Sulpice Hotel

As I noted in my last post, my cat Charlotte and I have temporarily left Manhattan for Montreal. Montreal is the second-largest city in Canada, although my father has apparently never heard of it. When I told him I was coming to Montreal for a few weeks, he asked, "Montreal...is that in Toronto?"
Anyway, I was sad to leave my New York City cat sitting clients behind even for a little while (thankfully, my best friend/partner in cat sitting T is taking care of all of them). But I was thrilled when I found out that one of my cat sitting clients, Rumi, would be coming to Montreal with his parents. They were just here this weekend, and they stayed at the pet-friendly Saint-Sulpice Hotel (pictured above) in Old Montreal. The hotel is situated right behind the Notre-Dame Basilica (you can see it in the picture), which is where Céline Dion and her husband René Angélil were married. I am sure the beautiful basilica is famous for other things, but that's pretty much all I know about it.
Back to Rumi, I hung out at the hotel with my handsome little friend on Saturday and Sunday while his parents visited friends and attended Alana and Rob's wedding. (Congratulations, Alana and Rob!) I loved that Rumi was staying in a hotel where pets are truly welcome. He looked like he was so at home in the room.
I also loved the "Meow" tag hanging on the door to the room, alerting hotel staff to Rumi's presence. What a great idea.
Rumi and I had a lot of fun hanging out in the hotel room. He brought one of his mouse toys with him, and we played with it in the bathtub just like we do when he is at home in New York City.
I also let him drink water out of the sink just like I do when he is at home. As you can see, he stopped for a moment to check himself out in the mirror. I bet he was thinking something like, "I love my cat sitter. She's the best."
We wanted to do something really Canadian during our time together, so we watched curling on TV. I thought it was interesting, and I would love to take curling lessons while I am in Canada if that is possible.
Rumi wasn't as interested in the curling as I was (okay, even I lost interest after awhile), and he passed out on the couch while we were watching the match.
