A new coffee shop called Catmosphere has opened in Surry Hills, Sydney. For $20, cafe customers receive a coffee, a cat-shaped cookie, and access to a rotating roster of felines to pat, scratch and Instagram. The Catmosphere cats are from animal rescue organisations like Inner City Strays. Book ahead as this is a very popular new idea!
