Is The Cats going to be open? I've been there a couple of times of a Saturday lunch time, every other time I've been past it, it's been closed.

This is a concern. The only phone number I have for them doesn't work and I have never been able to find a phone number that does work. If Wally is shut we can always slip into Maldon if we're thirsty or come up with a plan C.
Yep - e.g. the Blue Boar in Maldon is but a spit away from The Cats.
Yebut, you have to go up that bitch of a hill to get there!!
If you're thinking of
"THAT HILL" (i.e. Market Hill) then you don't have to go up it from The Cats, you can go in via Old London road instead. There is a hill on that route too, but that's only
"That Hill" isn't it?
Market hill is steep, but it's short and sharp and over before you know it
. You can practically roll from the miniroundabout at the top to the Blue Boar even before you've got round to coughing your lungs out.
