Adelaide’s cold weather forces many to rug up, including cat called Milk, a star attraction at a Felixstow pet cafe

THIS cat named Milk — one of the star attractions at Felixstow pet cafe Hashtag Meow — is not alone in being forced to rug up to ward off Adelaide’s winter chill.

The Devon Rex breed cat named Milk keeps warm at Felixstow pet cafe Hashtag Meow.

SHE’S the cat in a hat warming the hearts of Adelaide animal lovers visiting a special eatery this winter.

And given her very short-hair, the Devon Rex named Milk — one of the star attractions at Felixstow pet cafe Hashtag Meow — was happy to rug up in a scarf and hat to ward off the winter chill.

The cafe’s human visitors also have had to follow suit, after a series of near freezing minimum temperatures this month. Adelaide’s coldest so far was a minimum of just 1.7C last Sunday.

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Mark Anolak said the cold nights and mornings — a result of a high pressure system — were here to stay — for now.

“Through the long weekend and even to the middle part of this week we are still dominated by this high-pressure system. It probably won’t be until Thursday or Friday that we start to get some warmer overnight temperatures,” he said.
