This orange guy was one of the scruffiest cats I'd ever seen, but he was well-fed and friendly. I was told the housekeepers feed the animals, and just as we were packing the car to leave, I spotted the cat house and bowls tucked away in a corner of the parking lot.
You know me, I'm a sucker for these kinds of random acts of kindness, and think it's wonderful that the Hyatt has adopted these two strays. Perhaps hotels that provide for animals should be given some kind of "seal of approval" by SPCA. I'd be more inclined to stay at their establishment. Wouldn't you?

I agree they should be given "seal of approval" from SPCA for treating the cat very nicely for 15 years. Unlike the other hotels, once they see stray cats roaming around they will immediately throw it out.

Your life deserves a place like this.
Fifteen years? I don't think they're "strays" any more!
We should write a petition, jhazline. Or maybe I'll just stick to my blog, and hope some hotel owner will see it.
You're right, NT, those cats have probably been at the Hyatt longer than anyone else.
I most definitely agree with you. I am very loyal to local businesses that have a resident cat or dog. I love the whole atmosphere that the animals give.
I agree, Jan. There's just something ... homey, perhaps, about walking into a store or business that has a cat or dog.
I'm sure the fact that they *aid* in the area of "rodent control" for hotels is also a plus factor. (No immediate killing on the cat's part, as I'm told rodents often smell the presence of a cat -- and go the other way.)
I never thought of that, Georgie. Of course, I'm not keen on thinking that there actually might be a rodent problem at any hotel in which I stay.
No, not that there was any definite problem or anything. Just perhaps as a "preventative" plus factor while also giving a home to the cat. That's all I meant. :)
Georgie, I'll bet there's lots of critters living at hotels (and restaurants!). The kinds of critters we don't like to pet or think about.
