A FLUFFY white cat in a yellow dress perched on a Bangkok cinema seat while, nearby, a Chihuahua in a Sebastian the Crab costume geared up to watch Disney’s The Little Mermaid with their owner.

One terrier even channelled Ariel in a red wig and mermaid’s tail. They were among dozens of four-legged film-goers that arrived in strollers on Saturday for the opening of Thailand’s first pet-friendly cinema.
