Visitors are charged £5 for two hours of feline company in the cafe, which is an old English tea room. Named after Alice's cat in Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland', Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium is an archetypal English tea room in east London, serving afternoon tea, sandwiches, cake and scones. However, the main draw of the cafe is the 'feline company', which costs £5 for two hours of company with some of the cafe's in- house cats. In a city where many people live alone in cramped high- rise apartment blocks that don't allow pets, making feline friends has become popular therapy for lonely or anxious workers. One customer, Sara Lewis, who spoke while stroking a cat, said: 'I can see how this would be good for someone lacking company.'Cafe owner Lauren Pears raised money for the cat emporium through crowd- funding on the internet. The cafe cost just over £1. The cafe had a series of hiccups when setting up, including delays in planning permission of over a year.

Other delays included figuring out how to manage health and safety standards in a cafe that is both serving food, and full of cats. The cafe opened last month, and is now fully booked until the end of June. It was established raised through a crowd- funding campaign on the internet, where the owner Lauren Pears racking up a massive £1.

The set- up was not easy though, as Pears had to contend with figuring out how to maintain health and safety standards in a cafe serving food that is riddled with almost a dozen cats. The cafe is not the first to open in the UK, but is the first to open in London, currently set up east of the city's financial district. The idea for the cafe originally came from Japan, where animal cafes are a relatively common occurance.

Cat cafes became incredibly popular in Japanese cities because many single people live in small high- rises where they can't keep pets - the cafes were a chance for feline company. The idea of the cafe is to give stressed- out Londoners who can't own pets a bit of animal therapy. The cafe currently has eleven cats in residence, all of which were given to the establishments by people leaving the country who couldn't take their pets with them. While space is dominated by a cafe setting, there is also a great deal of room employed purely for people to play with cats, and to let the cats play themselves with toys.

On top of that, Pears encountered almost a year of planning permission delays, but she says the hard work has all been worth it. The 1. 1 resident cats were donated by people leaving the country who could no longer look after them. Cat welfare in the emporium is paramount, with staff on hand who have been trained by in cat care by animal behaviorists, and the resident felines getting regular breaks away from people. Animal care is paramount at the cafe with all employees undergoing training in animal care before they start. Cat cafes are now opening up across the UK, in places like Paris, Vienna, and San Francisco. Pet therapy is becoming common in very urban areas, with many people craving relaxation from time with animals, but being unable to own them.

The trend of 'animal cafes' is set to keep going, with a dog cafe planned to open in London later this year. Watch Waitress Tube Free here. The cat cafe has proved incredibly popular in its first month, and is now completely booked with cat visits until June.
