Sit down - Getta Coffee ( Noooooooooooo Not a Tea - You know I don't trust Tea Drinkers - not unless your very very nice ! ) Wack on yer PJ's - ( I don't care if it IS 10 am ! )  Relax - and prepare to be Entertained - Ohhh is that toooo Smug ? - Ohhh well - what is this life, ( OH DEAR ................... if full of care - i take this time to stand and stare .. no time to stand beneath the boughs, lets all watch those cats schnouze ( Yes it is a word - and it is an Abi'ism - and means Snooze - - and it fit purrfectly - so SHUSH ! )  if not full of one or two people that have a good opinion of themselves - !! Not enough braggadocio if you ask me - and NO - I DIDN'T USE A THESAURUS !!!! RUDE !!!!

Well - Firstly - My Herne Bay Dentist Post went down so well that i thought - where else is 'Worthy' of An 'Abby' Blog ( Ohhh god - that swagger rears it's ugly head again ! ) - and  - well - OBVIOUSLY - THE NEW COSY CAT CAFE came to mind !!! 

At the moment i have the time and inclination - and ENTHUSIASM to really get you guys to understand what this place is about - 
Also to TRY to get you to see what good they are doing !!
Ohhh all you Vegans and Animal Rights Activists and Animal Welfare people - READ - AND LEARN - You may well understand the facts then and stop jumping on bandwagons !!!

 So OK - The Facts - Quick and to the point - 

1) Herne Bay's Cat Protection Shop - is now the Cosy Cat - Run WITH THE ANIMALS HEALTH AND HAPPINESS FIRST AND FOREMOST - NOT RUN FOR PROFIT - FACT

Cats are better than any vice. 

They're not fattening, dangerous, or expensive. 

However, they can be addictive.

2) HERNE BAY ( & other areas ! ) COMMUNITY - Half Excited, Quarter Judgemental and Quarter After a Fight ! - FACT 

Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. 

cats have never forgotten this.

3) CATS ( From Thanet's Cat's In Crisis )  - Can't wait to be re-homed into a warm, safe, Healthy and HAPPY environment rather than from Dirty, Grimy, Muddy, Murky, Smelly and every other eeeeee you can think of environments ( OK OK - I MAY OVER EXAGGERATE THIS - BUT READ ON !!! 

Everyone knows cats are on a 

higher level of existence. 

These silly humans are just too 

big-headed to admit their inferiority.

Here are the actual FACTS about where 

EACH CAT FROM THE CAT CAFE CAME FROM !!

THERE ARE TEN CATS THAT OWN 

THE COSY CAT CAFE

They are : 

TINKS - Was the first cat that the Cafe adopted - He had been living in someones front garden under a bush until the rescue went and got him - he had been with the rescue since 2016 - but it's unknown how long he was alone before that.

TIKI & SIMBA were given away when their 'Owner' went abroad - 

CHIPS had been past from pillar to post and then 'just' abandoned - left to fend for himself .. No-body knows how long he had to survive .......alone

WOODY is the big black long hair nervous boy who was a stray before being picked up by cats in crisis - he was living on the streets matted with injuries and a badly wounded paw, since being at the Cafe he has gained so much confidence he is now so bright and playful it seems like he is a whole new cat !

Woody & Cilla

BORIS & FERNANDO - These two are VERY Shy and part of a group of 12 cats that were rescued from a Farm - Kept in a Filthy Pig Pen ( The other 10 have all been successfully adopted ) These boys keep themselves to themselves and generally are out in the Garden - 

Panda - Everyone knows Panda !!! - He is such a happy Fun Boy - Here because his 'Family' Could not stop the CHILD from pulling him around - So they gave him away. 
Panda is so very friendly and loves EVERYONE !! Nobody can walk past Panda without giving him a hug ! ( Children cannot help themselves around cats - AND THIS IS WHY THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE CAFE !!! - THIS IS THE CATS HOME !!! - They do NOT want to be pulled about at HOME ! ) 

Panda and Bobby Kitten ( But not so 'Lil' Now ! ) 

CILLA & BOBBY - Ohhhhh - OK OK - EVERYONE KNOWS BOBBY - He is often seen playing in the window of the Cafe, he is 8 months at the moment ( July 2018 ) and full of kitten fun !! - Their owner developed an allergy and gave them away... Cilla is a Nervous girl and keeps away - she is timid but likes a few encouraging words and basking in the sun every now and then.

Now - The Cafe is the cats HOME - 

Or I should say - The Cafe is Owned By The Cats ! 

It is not their place of work (😉)

No-body earns money from the cats ! - Money is earned from The CAFE ! 

The CATS are not looking for homes - THEY ARE HOME - 

Everyone that comes into the cafe is reminded that it is on the Cat's Terms if they want a Fuss / Cuddle / Hug ! ( Ohh and BTW = By The Way to The oldies amongst us ! )

I am not paid - or get ANYTHING from writing this - These are just my own personal thoughts and reactions from actually visiting and asking questions ( omg - so many questions ) at the Cafe !! )

BUT - We all know - and there has been many studies done, on the Therapeutic Benefits of Cats .They’re fluffy ( Fwuffy is soo much nicer a word i think ! ), independent, the internet's in love with them - and why is this  ?? -  there is scientific proof that having a furry roommate is actually all kinds of good for your health. Whether you live with a cuddly lap cat or a quiet introvert who loves their space, having a feline around you can be just as rewarding and beneficial as any other friendship, Human or Animal.

BUT WHAT IF YOU CAN'T HAVE CATS - Your Landlord won't allow them - or ... oh sooo - many reasons - i don't need to list them - ohh please, say i don't need to list them - This is too horrible for words - BUT - if you Can't have Cats - HOW CAN YOU GET TO - and i apologise here - i have to do it - and it's gone long enough being unmentioned, but - How can you Stroke a Pussy - Ohhhh I knooooooooow, SO SO SO VERY CHILDISH - But - what did you expect from me ! I shall try to contain myself from now on in .... but don't hold yer breath !

How can you Cuddle a Cat, without owning one - or accosting a poor defenceless moggy on the street, as myself and a few members of my 'circle' do regularly !! - ohhh if truth be known - MOST cat lovers will attach themselves to a furry fur-ball if they see one in the street - at least giving a short ' hello' as you walk past !! So - A Cafe with Cats - OMG Cat Lovers Paradise !! - Serious - and this mixed with friendly lovable owner and staff - Well this cannot fail ... Can it ??

Yes it can - Because there are - and i have to be very PC here - Ohh hang on - No I dont - This is MY Blog - and if you don't like it - TOUGH - So -

OUT THERE, THERE ARE UTTER 'TWONKS' WHO ARE HELL BENT ON MAKING TROUBLE - INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY -

THESE ARE NON CAT LOVERS BUT ALSO CAT LOVERS THAT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING -

All you need to have done is RESEARCH - that's it - Educate yourself - and the TRUTH will out !

These few - ( Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh - These happy few - These Band of brothers - SHUT UP ABBY ! )  THESE FEW PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING OF THE CAFE OR IT'S OWNER - OR THE WORK IT DOES OR WILL DO  ... YET THEY STILL TAKE IT ON, TRYING TO RUIN A WONDERFUL VENTURE ....

Whats this i hear you cry ?! - Well - I learnt this morning, that there is a Group of Vegan mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 'Trolls' ( No - i didn't use the word Nutters ) That are protesting to CLOSE the NEW cafe in Herne Bay .... But - IF THEY HAD BEEN TO EXPERIENCE THE CAFE, IF THEY HAD ACTUALLY POPPED ALONG AND SEEN FOR THEMSELVES WITHOUT BEING JUDGEMENTAL AND DISAPPROVING - They would see that the Cafe IS PURRRRRRFECT for our feline friends and for the entire Neighbourhood -

I PUT IT TOO YOU - Are the Cats better as Strays, Out in Wind, Rain or scorching heat, no idea where the next meal / drink is coming from .. Better Behind Bars - Waiting for the next home  - In a cage - or even in a 'Foster' home - somewhere they are not allowed outside for fear of losing them ..

- Or, are they better off in the cafe where they have space to run - jump - go outside - dig - do 'Cat' things - OR - come inside and have a cuddle - sit on a comfy sofa or chair - or go up high and just watch - Food on tap - Fresh Water - and Love affection and constant love ?? = Mmmmmmmm - WHICH IS BETTER ??

IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS - 

JUST AN OPEN MIND THAT ACTUALLY - 

THIS IS A GOOD ENVIRONMENT !

( This look is Cat Sarcasm ! ) 

There would be nothing that these activists could actually find to be negative about, and in fact the Cafe is doing a service  all around - getting Cats off the street and giving them a Clean, Friendly, Safe, Secure and Happy environment to live,

Aiding the community to get together and be SOCIAL, Helping the Sick to get better - by throwing it's doors open and offering a nourishing harmless, hygienic, environment with hot drinks and homemade cake ...

and people actually want to actively oppose such a wonderful venture - I think that is an utter disgrace.

The people of Herne Bay should start up a Campaign to Campaign AGAINST the Campaigners !!
