Cat Cafe in Bristol?

Already signed up, most of the people in my area are along the line of

"I need someone to luk after my 1 year old staff cuz the landlord sez I can't keep him here, but I cant move 2 my nu place til next month, lulz"

:facepalm:

I was going to volunteer as a dog walker for the dog's home but the thought of having to pick up their shit put me off.
 
My local pub has a cat called Henry. He's a nice enough old boy, occasionally a bit stand offish with the more touchy feely children but it's his pub and he has free reign. It feels nice having him about, and nice when he wants to come and socialise... But he's not the focus. I'm not sure it would work if he was the main attraction.

I mean what are you going to do when people come to the cat cafe and the Cats don't want to play?
 
There's a 3 legged cat that comes into my local. Can't remember if he's got a collar. I keep giving him different names.
 
How're you going to make sure that the cats don't get fed all kinds of 'treats' by your customers? Or indeed try to help themselves?
One of mine is *obsessed* with trying to nick my tea/coffee. Not great, considering caffeine isn't a good thing for cats..
 
Cathedralcat :

Bag O'Nails landlord has sometimes had his lovely young cats in the public bar (at quiet times only though, definitely)

Seek his advice over a pint? :)
Interesting bloke to talk with in any case -- he's a one-off .... ;)
His older CAT either stood, or was advertising in the PUB as standing :p , against George Ferguson and the others in the mayoral election ...

Anyway ...

We're in Bristol a LOT, and would definitely visit a kitteh cafe!

But then we're insanely cat-loving people anyway ...

Sorry but if I had a 3-legged animal it would automatically be nicknamed "Tripod". I wouldn't be able to stop myself from doing that, even if it were only in my head, and it's not as though a cat is going to be offended by it. As long as it is said with affection.

‘Stool’, surely.

Then when it does a crap you can, with GREAT HILARITY, announce “Stool stool!”

And when it picks up a screwdriver you can, with GREAT HILARITY, announce “Stool's tool!”

And when it chases after a bird you can, with GREAT HILARITY, announce “Stool! Pigeon! Ha-cha-cha-cha!”

It doesn't sound very ethical to me - basically using the cats as toys, and your back-up plan if the business goes bust is just to move all the cats (how many?) into your house :hmm:
 
I'm sure I walked past it on Saturday and it was open?
It was very much closed on Friday, with lots of receivership paperwork about seizure of catering equipment, furniture and food, and it's been offline from Just-Eat since at least last week...
 
Fair enough, must have got mixed up, lack of sleep probably.

That's a shame, I thought it was quite a nice cafe. Don't imagine it will be too long before a estate agent/junk shop/cafe is open there though.

I dunno, maybe they could move into my house… :);)

(in seriousness, I agree totally)

Yes, with nice burgers :(
 
You could of course market it as an evening venue with guaranteed free pussy, charging £25pp entry, then cash in for a few weeks until word spreads, before doing a runner with the cash.
 
I did speculate on an alternative reaction on your part!

I know. But honestly... I'm not personally a cat person. I don't dislike them, but I'm not as fond as most of Urban is.

However, "anti-cat" makes it sound like I believe in chasing them out of the street, or go around pulling their tails or something... ;) :D
