A cat café is coming to Birmingham
Beware of furballs floating in your tea…
If you fancy sipping a hot cup of coffee, tucking into some cake and stroking a purring kitty while you’re at it, Happy Cats Café might be for you.
A Birmingham couple have let the cat out of the bag and are hoping to open the city’s first cat café.
It all began when the couple decided to launch a crowd funding campaign, happening in the near future, to support the opening of their unique tea shop.

Cat cafés are popping up all over the country, including in the capital

Cat that got the cream
Ally and her partner Damian, from Mosely, are still looking for a location.
Ally said: “We are launching our crowdfunder campaign very soon, it’s not live yet.
“Were looking for the right location. It will be a Japanese meets West café where people can relax with our rehomed cats, coffee and cake.”

So true…

He wants some fuss
This Japanese-influenced sensation began in Taiwan when the first cat café opened in 1998.
Ever since then the cat-craze has been duplicated all over the world and in the UK.
For some the Happy Cats Café will be a feline fantasy, but for others it will make them as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
