對于外出度假時不知該如何安置自家寵物貓這個問題，英國人最近找到了答案。在英國的赫特福德郡韋林加登城，一對夫婦開了家豪華寵物貓賓館，專門為貓咪提供服務。這家賓館共有6間客房，每間客房的裝修風格都不同。賓館的房費為每晚15英鎊至19英鎊。入住的貓咪可以享受賓館提供的每日菜譜，也可以單獨定制，不過單獨定制的餐費要另外收取。賓館房間里播放著輕柔的爵士或古典樂，而且樂曲會不斷變化，以免“客人”生厭。此外，貓咪還可以享受修甲、按摩和日光浴等服務。賓館的主人24小時全天候伺候這些貴賓，還會時不時給它們拍一些照片，發給它們的主人，以便主人了解自家貓咪的狀況。

Sparky the cat relaxes beside in the Autumn Suite at Longcroft Luxury Cat Hotel.

The days of wondering whether your cat’s OK while you’re away may have gone.

A new luxurious feline hotel could mean your pet has an even better holiday than you.

Four-legged guests who check in at the hotel in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, can live it up in style with amazing treats from the hotel's organic ‘A La Cat’ menu.

Scrumptious delights to suit every moggy's palette include poached salmon, tiger prawns and even steamed white fish for delicate tummies - all served on a shiny silver platters and bone china plates.

With six individually-themed heated chalets to choose from and lots of space, guest cats are treated to Jazz and Classical music fed through a ￡5,000 state-of-the-art sound system.

Owners Abi and Matt Purser have ensured their four-legged patrons will never get bored at the hotel which costs between ￡15 and ￡19 a night, with extras like the A La Cat menu at ￡3.50 a day.

Outside their private bedroom windows are bird boxes to make sure birds fly in nearby to keep the cats are entertained.

Porcelain water fountains deliver perfectly fresh oxygenated water to keep all the guests purrfectly hydrated.

With the pampered pussies safely tucked up in their lavish bedrooms, Mrs Purser, 35, and her 40-year-old husband offer around-the-clock care and send absent owners postcards and pictures giving updates on the kitties' own little holidays.

And if life gets too tough the residents can take optional extras like the Grooming Pamper Package.

As well as delicate treatments for the ears and eyes the spoilt pets also get a nail shape, massage and shine.

Mrs Purser said: “There are some pretty good catteries out there if you look, but no one has gone quite to the lengths we have in terms of comfort and style.”

And for the pickiest puss, one of the suites is super-sized so the lucky guest can really stretch out.
