The Curious Cat Bookshop

The Curious Cat Bookshop was born out of a simple yet profound love for books and cats.


Opened in 2024, James and Lisa opened the Bookstore in the Market Town of Frodsham as they believe in the power of stories to transport, transform, and transcend.


You may find one of James and Lisa’s cats in the Bookstore on some days. Our aim is to serve Frodsham and the surrounding area as the Local Indie Bookshop, championing new authors, the love of reading and how books can bring us all closer together.

the curious cats

Introducing the Cats you may find in the bookshop.

We aren’t a cat cafe or a place where cats are part of the “entertainment” but often one of the cats will join us in the Bookshop. They come and go as often as they like and are family cats so come home with us at night. Whilst quite relaxed we do ask if the cats are in the shop that are here to chillout and enjoy the vibes.

Crackers

HEAD OF MARKETING / WINDOWSELLING
Crackers is the first cat who came into the bookshop and has even made it into print in both books and local news articles. Deceptively fluffy she is known to fall asleep on customers and leave them trapped in the bookshop for hours.

Cheese

HEAD OF CATERING / CHEESE TASTER
Crackers twin sister, Cheese is a bit smaller and a bit more timid and loves it when the shop is quiet. Be warned if you come in with something Cheese likes such as Bacon she will be your best friend for ever.
