London: Cat lovers, take note! A new cat cafe in the UK is looking for nannies who will be paid to cuddle the furry animal.
Cat Cafe Manchester, which will open later this year, is a place where customers can play and interact with cats while drinking a cup of coffee.

A Facebook page started by founders Ellie and Sarah Close says they are looking for a cat nanny, cafe manager, assistant manager and front of house staff.
The successful cat nanny candidates will be paid 7.50 to 8 pounds an hour to play with the kitties, develop games for them and keep their environment interesting, as well as groom and feed them, clean out litter trays, and wash and clean bedding, according to the Facebook post.

They are also expected to check up on the physical care of the cats and encourage and support customer interaction with the animal.
The shifts for cat nannies will be around-the-clock, both when the cafe is open to the public as well as closed, the post said.

The ideal candidate should have familiarity and experience caring for cats in a professional or domestic setting. They should be familiar with holding and picking up cats and will need to demonstrate they can brush and groom the cats to a high standard, the owners said.
Successful applicants will be notified by April 29, they said.
