When I was in Manchester to watch City last
Saturday, we decided to visit the Cat Café. I have two cats at home, so it’s probably more
of a treat if you don’t have your own cat, as I can sit and drink tea with them
anytime.
We paid £12 each for an hour with the cats and got
unlimited hot drinks. (We booked in advance,
but you can just walk in off the street and pay for a few minutes). When we
first sat down there was a white cat fast asleep on the chair next to us – one of
the rules is that you can’t wake up a cat if it’s sleeping – so I took a
picture of him asleep. More of the cats
were asleep actually, but when we walked past the café later on in the day a
lot more of them were awake and the café was less busy. I suppose it’s just luck whether the cats will
be asleep or not.
The cats are able to leave whenever they like - I'm sure you know how aloof cats are - but there were lots of toys and treats to keep them interested. One man who was sitting near us had a cat come and sleep on his lap! As you can see from the picture above, you have to wear those over your shoes when inside the café.
