You Meow

You Meow is Newcastle upon Tyne's newest cat cafe experience featuring 16 uniquely personable cats across a spacious, two-floor venue. The resident feline family includes impressive breed diversity: Sphynx (Casper—"extremely naughty," steals straws), Maine Coons (Jam—"big baby," still growing; Venom—gentle giant), Siamese (Haribo—blue-eyed boss), Ragdoll (Pinocchio—cloud-like), Bengal (Genie—super playful, "great hunter"), Savannah (Enzo—wildcat appearance, "parrot energy"), Siberian Forest (Finn—thinks he's a dog, hypoallergenic), Persian (Kebab—fabulous, diva), Norwegian Forest (Oscar—dad of group), Exotic Shorthairs (Figaro, Snoopy), Abyssinian (Dorito—pointed ears), and domestic shorthairs (Bonus, Netflix, Waltz). Each cat has distinctive quirks documented on the website. The cafe prioritizes cat welfare through video surveillance, council Animal Welfare team liaison, cozy temperature range (15–21°C), abundant toys/hiding spots, emergency procedures, and overnight free roam in secure space.
