A stray cat that reached Kondotty market a few months ago has become the darling of many shopkeepers. The mutual affection between the cat and the shopkeepers grew so much that the pet inaugurated a newly opened shop named after it at Kondotty here on Saturday.
They named it Rocky when the emaciated stray cat landed up at a footwear shop named Takbeer owned by Shoukath Kunnummal on Thangals Road at Kondotty on a Ramzan day.
Shoukath and his friends took care of the cat, and soon Rocky became popular among the traders of Kondotty. When restaurateur Unni offered the cat milk two times everyday, fish vendor Ummer offered it fish. The traders pampered Rocky everyday.
