For the appetizer, the chef will serve up a pouch of prepared Mon Petit maguro (tuna) and bonito fish for the furry companions and a similar fish dish garnished with vegetables for the human.

Next up is soup — a packet of Mon Petit with maguro, crab and sardines served artistically on a plate for the cat and a delicious bowl of crab, scallops and sardines for the owner.

With conversation in full swing (“So Fluffy, how many mice did you catch today?”), guests can prepare to feast on the main course — a delicious pouch of roast chicken with vegetable sauce for the feline friend and a human-version of the dish for the owner.

To finish, it’s a cocktail glass filled with Mon Petit seafood for the cat and a blancmange with berries and cream for the human.

The catering service costs a whopping 22,222 yen (£130) and is only available for a month (in December) for cat lovers living in Tokyo, Japan.

While we’re not quite sure whether the idea is bonkers or brilliant, it would seem that ‘cat dining’ is reflective of a bigger international trend.

There are an estimated 150 cat cafes around the world now with Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium in London having taken 7,000 bookings in the first 24 hours of opening in 2014.
