Flight of The Conchords aren’t the only ones feeling the inner-city pressures. Apparently, so are a number of Sydneysiders who have taken up Cat Yoga as a cathletic way to relax and release the stresses of the concrete jungle.

So what does cat yoga entail? Well, it’s mostly yoga with cats crawling around you as you try and nail a steady salute to the sun, followed by a 15-minute cat cuddling session to channel some paws-itive energy into your inner being.

If yoga’s not your thing, but you are tired of sitting at home alone watching re-runs of Iron Chef with nothing to pat except for that faux fur lap blanket your strange Aunty Susie gave you last Christmas, never fear. The Catmosphere Cafe holds all kinds of events where you can pat a cat whilst doing things like trivia and drinking coffee.

Or if that’s not really your cup of tea, you can join the rest of the population doing normal things. Like this:
