Cats
who are tired of the rat race in fast-paced Singapore have a new
high-end leisure option - a top-of-the-range hotel complete with
designer beds, Roberto Cavalli wallpaper and Swarovski crystal-studded
dining ware.
The
Purrfection Suites are the ultimate in luxury for fussy felines looking
for some quality downtime in the most upmarket surroundings.
Purified
air is pumped into every room, while some even boast classical music on
a Sensurround system to help stressed cats unwind.

Apart from lodgings, the hotel offers
grooming and spa services at additional cost. It plans to introduce
'in-room dining' featuring home-cooked food
The
14-room extension - exclusively for cats - is part of The Wagington,
Singapore's first five-star dog hotel housed in a converted British
colonial-era bungalow in the heart of the city-state's diplomatic
quarter.
The
Wagington owner Estelle Tayler said that since the opening of the dog
hotel in 2014, cat owners have clamoured for a similar style of upmarket
lodging for their pets.
'We decided to make a wing dedicated just for our feline friends, with its own private entrance,' Tayler said.

Lawyer
Jolene Lim, 26, checked her seven-month-old Persian cat into a cabin
suite for five nights when she went on holiday this month.
She
said: 'For many people, their pets are like their children. I
definitely want to give her the best and whatever makes her comfortable.
'If I'm going off on a holiday and having fun, I want her to feel comfortable and have fun and be at ease as well.'
