A directory of quaint bed & breakfasts, intimate countryinns, and luxury hotels with "resident cats" -- cats that residethere full-time -- has been written by free-lance writer Susan BardHall, who has authored hundreds of articles on hotels, traveldestinations, and cats.Entitled, Purr-fect Places to Stay: Bed & Breakfasts, CountryInns, and Hotels with Resident Cats, this directory is believed to bethe first ever to focus exclusively on lodging properties in theUnited States, Canada, and the United Kingdom with resident cats.This book is divided into geographic regions of the UnitedStates (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, and West), Canada,and the United Kingdom.Within each section are those bed &breakfasts, country inns, and hotels located in the states in thoseregions.At least two pages is devoted to each property, including acolorful and touching vignette about each resident cat; detaileddescription of the b & b, inn, or hotel pointing out what makes itunique, as well as nearby attractions, activities, and recreationalactivities; and a separate section containing contact information(address, telephone number, FAX number, e-mail address, web site),room descriptions, rates, and amenities.Hall said the impetus for the book came from her own travelexperiences."I met my first 'resident cat' while vacationing at a resortin Florida," Hall recalled. "Petting her, if only for a few minutes,really helped fill the void of leaving my cat at home while I wasaway."After meeting resident cats at other lodging properties duringher travels, Hall knew a market niche existed for a directory thatwould focus exclusively on bed & breakfasts, country inns, and hotelswith resident cats."Having observed firsthand the interaction between guests andresident cats, I knew there were other leisure and business traelerswho would prefer to stay at a property where they can pet, talk to,and occasionally cuddle someone else's feline in order to help reducethe withdrawal pangs and fill the void of leaving their own catcompanion when traveling," Hall said.With 59 million cats as pets in the United States, thisdirectory is expected to be a helpful and sought-after resource fortraveling cat-lovers.Spending time at a property with a resident catalso is a refreshing change of pace for cat fanciers everywhere who,for whatever reason, can't have or don't want their own pet, but wouldlove to spend some quality time with a cat when they're away fromhome.It also makes the "purr-fect" gift.Resident cats are a win-win-win for the lodging properties,their guests, and of course, the cats.Bed & breakfasts, countryinns, and hotels with resident cats seem cozier and more home-like,which can be a welcome change for travelers who spend several nightsaway from home and their loved ones.And these cats, many of which were former strays or sheltercats, receive the attention and affection of property owners andemployees, not to mention the often unsolicited, but not unwanted,belly, chin and head rubs from guests.
