Cat-scratch fever making you feel restless? Head to the historic Mission Inn Hotel and Spa for relaxation.

The Riverside Art Museum showcases the work of regional artists and has a courtyard that is home to a 12-foot-high sculpture of a feline prowling through a brick wall.

Cat got your tongue? Meow about that sculpture?

Mount Rubidoux Park has a paved trail that's perfect for cats to stretch their legs on a walk, plus sweeping views of the city.

Ready to leave Riverside? Paws-itively not until you've hiked to the top of Mount Rubidoux and seen the World Peace Memorial.
