CAT PEOPLE, ON your marks – a long-awaited ‘cat lounge’ is finally opening in Dublin next week.

The ‘cat café’ concept originated in Taiwan and has been adopted in cities all over the world, from London to Singapore to San Francisco.
Georgina O’Neill has been trying to get a cat café off the ground in Dublin for almost four years now - and Monday, it will finally open its doors in Smithfield.
Here are some of the little beauties you’ll be able to visit:

Dublin’s version is a ‘cat lounge’, rather than a café – there is no food sold on the premises, but you can have a cup of coffee or tea for yourself while you pet the cats.
The lounge currently has five kittens which O’Neill saved from a rather nasty fate. She told DailyEdge.ie:
It’s €15 to chill with the cats for an hour and a half, and you can book a spot here. A small price to pay for a wannabe cat-owner. We’ll see you there.
