Blackpool's first Cat Cafe

Did you hear about that bloke who was locked out of his house ,he looked through the letter box and saw Tiddles his cat sitting in the hall. He shouted "Oi Tiddles open the door and let me in " Tiddles shouted back "Me How" 🤪

Wish any new business good luck but just reading the actual cafe side it mentions something like £8.85 per hour including a drink. Who takes a cat in to town as part of a shopping experience. ** no one. So are they reliant on potential customers purposely driving into town, with a moggy, to purely visit their gaff. And no doubt followed by a massive cat off coz let's face it cats in the main are devious nasty little twats. I've got serious doubts I'll be visiting.
 
…and if anyone is interested Dog tastes like a very strong beef flavour but with more fat - probably similar to the same amount as fat on Lamb.

… Cat tastes something like Pork BUT when I had it it came with all parts of the animal and it put me off … good old China 😂

You don't take cats in - the cats are already there.

There were a couple in Newcastle when I did some work up there. 'Mog on the Tyne' was one of them and I think the other was 'Catpurrcino'

If you're a big cat lover that makes a bit more sense bollie. Still a massive no for me personally.
Dogs vs cats. Pooches any day.

Not sicko - just happy to try pretty much anything 😂

Lived in Asia for years, so have tried most things that would turn some, or probably most peoples stomachs.

Dog is really nice if you have it lightly fried with Chilli, Garlic, Onions, a touch of Soy and Black pepper.

YUM 👍 😍

Don't get me wrong one to a lesser degree I'm adventurous done snails frogs legs, cat fish, alligator meat. But my love of dogs means I find the thought of eating them abhorrent.
 
I’d treat the cafe like an Asian live sea food restaurant….

“So waiter, that one over there weighs what and how much is it per kg? What sauces do you cook them in and how spicy can you do?”

Totally - it’s all relative.

Think about it around the world….

Hindu - no beef
Jewish - no pork
Muslims - no pork

If you are a chicken, Lamb or a sheep you can’t go anywhere!!

Joking apart - it’s all relative - and how you were brought up determines to some degree your diet.

I just think if it ever moved under its own steam -then its worth a try 👍👍
 
Good to see diverse businesses in Blackpool, am sure plenty will visit it.

I like cats, it's often people with only basic animal communication skills that don't understand them. 😉

Easy to make a dog come to you after years of domestication, cats are more difficult but can be taught still.

Very loving creatures despite what some think.
 
I love cats, my Morty is family and a complex and interesting creature! The one time I wish he would beggar off is when I’m eating though!! 😂

Probably not for me but the artisan cafe might be nice!

You can't take your own, they are there already, often rescued to be adopted hopefully by people.

It says they are working with Easterleigh animal sanctuary.

Also it says on the site they realise it's not for everyone, downstairs is the normal cafe serving decent food which i imagine you can walk into.

Upstairs is the cat cafe where you have to book to stop overcrowding.

🐈 👍

It does mention being around animals can have a really positive affect on people's well being an state of mind, I've watched programmes where tough lifers in prison in USA get a kitten to look after and are reformed 😬

Totally agree - each to their own 👍👍👍

Joking apart - I would if legal - actually like to try human - just because it’s an outrageous food that probably tastes ok 👍

For the avoidance of doubt: I am not about to do a Hanibal or anything mad like that 😂😂😂

Knob roll. Arse hole donuts
 
You don’t realise how culturally backwards some people are in Blackpool until you introduce a thread about cat cafés to a football website

Apparently cats have a longer life expectancy, too
 
I went to a hedgehog cafe in Tokyo. My hedgehog was a right boring sod and just slept. The Mrs got a feisty one and got bit by hers so it was worth the money.

There was a cat cafe in Manchester but it closed down so not sure how this one will do.

Good of you to acknowledge it, boatface.

But come on, be honest, don’t some of the replies on here remind you of the opening scene in 2001 a space odyssey

Mind you, you didn’t even know what a cat café was. It won’t change your life but you really should get out more

I get out plenty just choose not to enjoy a sociable drink or a bite to eat surrounded by a load of cats. Wouldn't care for it at someone's home so why make a point of it when I'm out.
The article stresses it Blackpool's first cat cafe so people like myself who have never heard of them are far from ignorant.
Hope you café meow cardigan looks dashing on you.
"Boatface" so harsh 🙄
 

This was an initial look round before it was done up, be interesting to see what they've managed to get done so far.

It's a fantastic location.

Nearly went in one in Edinburgh, but that was bookings only & we were just passing by, I hope it does ok & offers that something quirky, our town centre needs every little positive addition, otherwise it will die completely.
