Old McDonald had a farm. Cathy and Darcy McDonald put their Surrey acreage to a very different use. Rather than load it up with livestock, they're filling it with felines.

We're not discussing a bunch of barn cats here, but rather the pampered clientele of B.C.'s first cat boutique hotel, Cat Utopia.

The 1,100-square-foot, custom-built complex contains 34 private rooms, each featuring a window ledge with a view, plush cat bed, climbing post and litter box.
