A rare kitten is expected to become a "celebrity" at a Norwich cat cafe.

Lily, a 12-week-old Lykoi cat, is the newest arrival at the Cat House in Dereham Road.

The centre opened in August and is home to 17 cats which participate in a range of activities including yoga, painting classes and board game evenings.
