Picture purr-fect!
melissa@ Cats are emerging as the 'meow'se of choice, inspiring many artists in Bahrain and posing the question: why do felines continue to claw their way into our paintings, literature and culture, coinciding with International Cat Day tomorrow. Whether it is Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland (1865), Japanese author Syou Ishida's We'll Prescribe You a Cat (2024), French Art Nouveau painter Théophile Steinlen's iconic Le Chat Noir (the black cat) poster (1896), or Freddie Mercury's musical tribute Delilah (1991) to his favourite namesake companion, cats have been an integral part of the art that we have been consuming for centuries. Even in Bahraini culture, these critters often appear in old tales, according to comic artist and illustrator from Muharraq Zainab Almahdi. 'Cats often appear in Bahraini and regional folklore as vessels for jinn and other spirits,' the 27-year-old told GulfWeekly. 'In my art, cats feature either as the main subjects, or I hide them in different parts of my work,' added the creative talent, who draws both regular and anthropomorphic cats. 'They are flexible, animated and silly, lend themselves to cartoon illustration, and automatically bring a sense of whimsy to any art piece. You can use cats to reframe ordinary scenes in art. For example, if I dress up a cat in traditional dress, suddenly the readers start paying attention to the piece, and, in turn, the message I am trying to convey,' explained the GDN reporter. Filipino expatriate and artist Heidee Gragas-Galas from Juffair enjoys bringing cats alive in her creations because they're 'cute' and they carry a 'soft, graceful elegance' that she believes reflects a 'feminine, calming energy'. 'Cats have a soft, quiet presence that feels delicate but confident, which pairs beautifully with florals in my work,' said Heidee. Growing up, the 33-year-old had a cat at home, which helped her develop a personal connection with the animal, naturally influencing her work. 'I remember stories from my elders saying cats can sense spirits or bring luck depending on their colour,' Heidee said. 'In art and books, they often show up as symbols of independence, grace or even magic. That mix of the real and the mythical fascinates me and makes them timeless subjects to paint,' she added. Renowned Bahraini artist Ebrahim Busaad's popular Sleeping Cats exhibition in 2016 struck a chord with both art and feline enthusiasts at the time. The striking pieces, including Rajul Al Qut ('the cat man'), Murdi'at Al Shar ('nurser of evil') and Al Hilm Al Azraq ('the blue dream') continue to wow fans even today, with many vocalising their applause on the artist's Instagram posts. In the collection, the founding member of the Bahrain Art Society brought alive the 'infidel' nature of the cat, using his distinct style of elegant lines and vibrant hues. The works also reflect the architectural elements and the decorative motifs that characterised the city of Muharraq, his hometown. The Sleeping Cats paintings are based on a recurring dream Ebrahim had about his cat. 'At the age of six, my grandmother gifted me a cat. For the first time, I had a companion,' the 71-year-old revealed – a sentiment that famous novelist and cat lover Charles Dickens shared, when he said, 'What greater gift than the love of a cat?'

Review: A Memorable Stay at Marriott Marquis Dubai Creek
The recently opened Marriott Marquis Dubai Creek is the kind of hotel that surprises you (and your expectations). I stay in more hotels than I can count, mostly for work, and rarely does a business-focused property tick all the boxes quite like this one. Let's start with location: a solid win. Five minutes from the airport, ten from DIFC, and you're practically neighbours with Dubai Festival City, the Gold & Spice Souks, and a championship golf course. It's a sweet spot whether you're landing for a board meeting or heading out to explore. My check-in was seamless, and the hotel, although still relatively new, was impressively busy. The Marriott Marquis name tends to draw a crowd that appreciates understated luxury, and this one is no exception. It delivers that signature blend of comfort and efficiency, with just the right amount of shine. The Promenade The Skyline I was upgraded to a suite with a panoramic view over the creek – and honestly, waking up to that golden morning light bouncing off the water made the business emails feel a little less dreadful. The area is buzzing yet peaceful, a rare combination in this part of the city. The restaurants deserve a proper mention. You could spend a full week here without running out of great food. Creek Kitchen had a buzzing breakfast vibe, Bella Bocca made me crave carbs again (those pasta…), and BBQ Bros served up proper grilled indulgence with a view. Bella Bocca Creek Kitchen Ruby Ru by Iris was the unexpected scene-stealer – French-Japanese flavours, inventive cocktails, and a terrace that comes alive as the sun dips. The Copperhead , with its easygoing pub feel and solid bar bites, was my go-to after long meetings. The M Club Lounge also deserves a nod. Great for those who want to work, snack, or unwind in peace. Bonus points for the outdoor seating and the all-day offerings. Between appointments, I managed to sneak in a couple of workouts at the hotel's gym – easily one of the better ones I've seen in a business hotel. Spacious, well-equipped, and overlooking the pool deck. The Pool Deck The Gym And then there's the sauna and steam room, which I'll go ahead and call 'essential.' The spa facilities as a whole are excellent – whether you're winding down from a flight or a meeting, it's the kind of place where you can genuinely reset. But what stood out the most was how everything just worked, no fuss, no trying too hard. The staff are fantastic – warm, attentive, and seem to read the room perfectly, whether you're in a hurry or in holiday mode. It's one of those rare hotels where I felt like I had everything I needed – great dining, reliable WiFi, top-tier fitness and wellness facilities, and a location that made getting around Dubai almost too easy. Whether you're in town to close deals or just want a breezy creekside escape with a touch of polish, Marriott Marquis Dubai Creek makes a pretty compelling case. I can't wait to be back.
