Cat enjoying one of the luxury suites
Luxury cattery 'Kitty Hotel', Ashford, Kent, UK - May 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/te2u
Cat owners need not feel any guilt when heading off for two weeks in the sun thanks to a luxury cat hotel that has opened in Ashford in Kent. The posh cattery boasts temperature-controlled suites, spa facilities, pampering packages and a gourmet menu. Each of the 16 suites comes with its own 'balcony' or pampered pusses can chose instead to roam the indoor adventure playground. If relaxation is more their thing they can relax on the soft furnishings watching TVs showing aquariums of fish. Dinner is served on bone-china plates and the menu features such delicacies as poached free-range chicken, fresh prawns and Alaskan salmon.

The pet friendly Riverside Hotel, Evesham, Worcestershire, Britain - 23 Jun 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Adrian Sherratt Photography Ltd / Rex Features ( 1380013d )
Hotel For Happy Hounds
Welcome to the Ritz for Rovers, wipe your muddy paws at the door and prepare for some serious pampering.
The Riverside Hotel in Evesham aims to provide five star luxury for two-legged guests and their four legged friends.
Alongside its normal rooms, it also boasts three special dog suites where even the most pampered of pooches will be happy.
Each comes with its own doggy 'ensuite', in the form of a private outdoor garden.
And that's not the only way the hotel for happy hounds caters for its canine customers.
A special menu devised by head chef Rico Pecho offers the ultimate in dog's dinner.
The delicious dishes can all be enjoyed in the hotel dining room or ordered through room service.
Lip licking starters include soup, chicken-liver parfait, crepes or home-made fishcakes.
For mains, it's rib-eye steak, salmon wellington, pizza or pan-fried chicken supreme, all rounded off with carrot cake, rice pudding and chocolate biscuits.
And the hotel ensures it has good service licked thanks to a dedicated canine concierge.
Aside from the fine dining for pooches, other activities on offer include pet portrait sessions and swims in a local spa pool.
The Riverside Hotel is owned by Debbie Sinclair, who herself has Jack Russell Pepe and six puppies.
Meanwhile, the boutique hotel's prestigious patrons include Britain's Got Talent star Pippa Langhorne and her lhasa apso puppy, Buddy.
Lady Mishcon, wife of the late lawyer to royalty Lord Mischon, and her faithful companions are also big fans.

Lose Yourself In Luxury On Fregate Island
Seclusion and 5 star luxury go hand-in-hand on the exclusive and idyllic Fregate Island.
Surrounded by the beautiful Indian Ocean, this private Seychelles island is a tropical paradise that offers a pampering experience bar none.
The resort goes out of its way to ensure all of its guests are able to get away from it all while enjoying the ultimate in luxury.
From the complimentary hour-long massage upon arrival to the 20 different types of pillows for your bed, every detail has been carefully thought out.
All of the 16 cliff top villas that make up the resort benefit from their own terraces, private pools and jacuzzi.
There's even your own private butler and solar powered buggy to transport you around the island.
And with the villas carefully spaced from each other it's possible to enjoy your entire trip without ever seeing another guest.
The island boasts a different beach for each day of the week - with one even featuring its very own 'do not disturb' sign, which allows whoever gets there first to quite literally have the sand all to themselves.
And there's no need to move for lunch or any other meal as your butler will bring whatever you feel like eating to wherever you happen to be.
There's also no shortage of other locations aside from the beach where it's possible to enjoy a good meal and laze away a few hours.

Home furniture and bathroom suites made out of old sea mines by designer Mati Karmin, Tallinn, Estonia - 03 Nov 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Solent News / Rex Features ( 1247375o )
Bomb-Proof Furniture
A designer is making a bomb by creating a bizarre range of home furniture and bathroom suites - made out of old sea mines.
Mati Karmin, 51, turns the former explosives into fully functional tables, chairs, bathtubs and toilets that sell for up to 13,700 pounds.
The rusting shells, which weigh 17 stone and measure 2ft 6in x 4ft 4in, come from the coastline near his home.
He then takes a month to clean them out, cut them into the right shape and piece them together with other materials, such as glass, leather and granite.
Mati, from Tallinn, Estonia, also turns the mines into desirable beds, wardrobes, drink cabinets and children's prams.
He said: "When the Soviet army left Estonia, there were thousands of empty mine shells left on the coast - particularly on the island of Naissaar, near my home in Tallin.
"This was because the island had a very-high-explosive mine factory and a port to set the mines afloat.
"However, I was extremely fortunate to get my hands on some shells because most of them were melted as metal waste. They are now a limited resource."
The first item Mati made from a mine shell was a fireplace for his own home. He used a bronze porthole, with heatproof glass, for the door.
He said: "My friends got excited and they urged me to continue playing with different forms.
"I developed a professional interest in the mines and wondered what other furniture I could make with them. I now believe it is possible to make anything.
"The items are fully functional.
"Customers who first order a fireplace, then wish to order a table and a few chairs, then a drinks' cabinet and garden furniture.
"A lot of them are tired of your standard commercial items and want something deeply idiosyncratic and personal.
