If anyone knows me you'll know how much I love cats, I've got one furball myself called Tilly who's a beautiful ragamuffin but if I could own more I would so I was thrilled to hear about Kitty Barn Cafe opening, it's within walking distance of my work which means I'm definitely going to be paying a visit on those stressful days I need calming with some purr therapy. The Cafe is currently on a drop-in basis with bookings to follow further down the line
