I've been to the Pawsome Cat Cafe at Durham today and enjoyed it a lot. Though for reasons I'll talk about later, we only had half of our one hour slot. Apparently it's owned by the same people who have Catpawchino in Newcastle, which I suspected as it has a very similar look, plus, with it being all pedigree cats. But, what's nice about Pawsome is, because the cats are from someone's actual home, they're very friendly and want cuddles and lap sitting. Plus, Simon the kitten is as adorable as he looked in his photos. You can see two pics from me here.

So, why we were late. I booked a slot then the doctor phoned James ( cut for medical details )

After leaving the doctors it was already ten minutes after our Pawsome slot started, but we decided to go anyway as we'd already paid to book, so figured it was better to have half an hour then nothing. The staff were lovely and said if they weren't fully booked the hour after our hour they would have let us stay for the full time, sadly, they were full so we left after 30 minutes of cat cuddling, which is just what I needed.

ETA: Thought I'd watch an episode of Downton to cheer myself up, and hit the second big tragedy. I knew it would happen, but man, such timing.
