Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Feb 8 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Fazry Ismail). A boutique hotel in Damansara, a township in the Malaysian capital, offers its guests a professional yet caring service, with comfortable clean rooms, spa treatments, and even dating on offer. But this smart 35-bedroom hotel is only available to furry, feline guests - cats owned by Malaysians who want only the best for their beloved pets. Catzonia is part of the growing trend of hotels in Malaysia and other Asian countries seeking to offer superior accommodation for pampered pets, with services on offer including grooming, airport pickups and of course playtime. Owners can send their cats to the hotel from anywhere between three hours to a whole year, with lodging starting at 25 Malaysian ringgit ($5.60) for an economy room and going up to 150 ringgit for a "Super Very Important Cat" room, an epa journalist reports. The cats enjoy three meals each day, cuddles with the seven staff members, and socializing with their furry friends - with even a dedicated "dating" area available for female cats in heat. The cats are closely monitored 24 hours a day by CCTV, with the live footage accessible to clients via their smartphones. Mohammad Syahir Zainal, 25, told epa he has been running the business for the last three years, aiming to provide a clean, comfortable and high quality service to clients. "We believe, the cats need holidays too. They always prefer to be treated as a boss. It means the environment must be felt like home, always being cuddled and hugged, and most importantly they don't want to feel lonely," the hotel says on its website.
