Diamond Standard Cats
Baby, one of the most pampered cats in Britain.
It is not unusual for pets to be pampered, but a recent survey conducted by Gourmet has uncovered there are no lengths some owners will not go to indulge their cat.
The search for a Five Star Feline polled 2000 cat owners about how they pamper their pets, and highlighted the extent cat owners will go to care for their cat. Research found:
- One in six cat owners will sit on the floor, rather than moving their cat from their favourite chair
- One in six cat owners buy their pets designer or jewel encrusted accessories
- One in four cat owners indulge their cats with treats several times per week
- Half of male cat owners let their cat sleep on top of the duvet while they’re in bed.
Now twelve cats are battling it out to claim the title of most pampered cat the country. Over 3000 doting owners entered their cats for consideration and following 250,000 public votes, the potential felines were selected.
Amongst them is Scottish cat Baby, who is so indulged she has her own bedroom and bathroom. Luna, from Lincolnshire, has her own 'princess' bedroom with a bed, toys, pictures and a cross-stitch portrait of herself. Meanwhile Sid Luscious is the proud owner of his very own motorised water fountain. Seraphim, on the other hand, frequently travels on holidays abroad with his owners and, to top it all, has his own throne.

Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
