The Cat Appreciation Meetup

Sat
📅 13 Jun 2026
📍 NW3 6JP

This is a group for anyone with an appreciation and love of cats. We will meet twice a month to discuss the magic of these feline creatures. We will be looking at cats in history from the Egyptian worship of cats, to the witch's 'familiar', to our own moggies/pure pedigrees. Meetings can be held in pubs, cafes, restaurants or even walking events in the Summer. I started this group as I am passionate about cats and I would like to hang-out with others who share the same addiction!
