A fireman protecting a cat after rescuing it yesterday from Villa Bonici in Manwel Dimech Street, Sliema. The dilapidated villa is currently at the centre of a disagreement between the Sliema Residents Association and its owner after Mepa removed the residence's urban conservation area status, allowing it to be redeveloped into a tall building. As for the cat, it had strayed into the building on Sunday and spent the night meowing, prompting residents to call the Civil Protection Department.
