MEOWY CHRISTMAS to all our furriends around the wo MEOWY CHRISTMAS to all our furriends around the world. What a ride we've had in 2020. Starting with bushfires, into COVID, missing out on travel and all living with social distancing as the norm. My region in Sydney has just been put on lockdown. This Christmas might not be the same for many people. Sending love to you all and your kitties. Looking forward to bringing you more Hotels With Cats in 2021.  #meowychristmas #christmascat @hotelswithcats #hotelcat #kitty #meow

After following Paprika for months on Instagram we After following Paprika for months on Instagram we are pleased to introduce her and Hotel La Pineta in the Dolomites to our directory!! Hotel La Pineta is a small family-run hotel in Selva di Val Gardena, in the Dolomites and home to beautiful Paprika who joined the team in 2016 after being adopted as a kitten. The family desperately wanted a cat, but were worried about how guests would accept full time resident feline. (Little did they know Hotels With Cats are a hit!) Since then the beautiful tabby has brought much joy to the family, team and guests. Click the link in our Bio to read about Paprika, her PAWtrol routine and this beautiful property! #hotelswithcats #hotelcat #residentcat 📷 @paprika_thehotelcat @hotel_la_pineta
We can't believe that move is on from Sydney to ou We can't believe that move is on from Sydney to our little pad by the beach in less than two weeks! Piper is very busy supervising the comings and goings as well as scrunching on suitable bags and boxes lying around.  Any advice on moving with our  girls? It's only an hour and 40 mins drive thank goodness! They will be travelling in the car with us. We are going to set up a safe room with all their things (blankets, beds, feliway and water) and shut them in there while the removalists do their thing. Then let them explore slowly. No outside time until we build our catio as I'm so worried about them escaping into unknown surroundings. Any tips for moving two moody girls are welcome in the comments! #hotelswithcats #movingwithpets #rescuecat
