About "Cats&Pods"

London, United Kingdom
We are a small workshop based in London, England, aimed at designing and producing high quality furniture mainly for cats. After several attempts to find a suitable habitat for our own cat, that would satisfy not only his enormous demands but ours too, we decided to make everything by ourselves and after a few months of experimenting with different materials and shapes we finally came up with the model that is both attractive and functional, thing that is very rare in modern design in general (discuss:). After a long period of testing on various "specimens" we've decided to make this product available to other like-minded people who are bored with standard mass-produced objects. Currently known as a "Crash Pad" it is available for sale at the trendy "Lik+Neon" shop in Shoreditch, London. And since they are very proud owners of several cats, you can see our pod in full action and admire the friendly vibe of the shop. Alternatively, you can order it directly from us. Apart from carefully crafting furniture for cats, we occupy ourselves in other activities, such as graphic art, painting, sculpture, installations, music e.t.c. So watch this space!

Visit to the Purr Cat Cafe in Bangkok.


This month we had a pleasure to visit a Purr Cat Cafe in Bangkok, a relatively new phenomena in the West but nothing new in Asian countries who are blessed with a wide range of such establishments. You can sit and relax (after leaving your shoes outside and donning a pair of cat-friendly slippers), have a breakfast or just read your "Bangkok Post" and enjoy a company of super-friendly felines who dominate and rule the space. I hear critics saying, it's not hygienic, it smells or cruel to poor animals, but I can confirm I have seen none of that. Place is clean, cats are healthy, smells are the ones coming from your fresh coffee and people behave, as it is not your average "greasy spoon caf" but something on a different scale.
Note that the cafe is very popular among locals and almost always full so don't be surprised if you have to wait to be seated.
Sometimes I wish I was a cat...

 

Purr Cat Cafe
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday: 11:00 - 22:00 and Saturday and Sunday 11:00 - 23:00
Address: Soi Sukhumvit 53 Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok, Thailand 10110
Tel: +66 2 108 3604
 
There are rumors that something similar will be in operation in the city of London, difference is, all cats will be "sourced" from local rescue centres and shelters, which is undoubtedly British. We love charitable work, especially when it evolves around animals.
