The southern coast of France has long been a popular vacation destination for bunnies and dogs, but a new report indicate that the area is attracting cats as well.

According to travel guide publisher Fodor’s, the French Riviera is increasingly a popular summer vacation spot for wealthy cats. 

“Resorts up and down the Côte d’Azur, from Toulon to Monaco, are starting to cater to kitty tastes,” said Fodor’s editor Sebastian Martin. One resort in Saint-Tropez, for example, has increased the number of tuna dishes on its room service menu from one to seven and a four-star hotel in Nice now offers plush carpeting in suites that previously had tile floors.

Fodor’s reports that feline travel to the region is up 230% this year.
