Did you know that there are Cat Cafes in Japan?
It's true aaaaand the best thing ever!
You just go inside and order a cup of coffee but instead of sitting at a table with people, you sit and sip your coffee with a bunch of cats jumping all over you!
There are cats in trees,
cats passed out on the floor,
cats hanging out on tables,
and lots of cats on the ceiling.
I wish every morning started with a fresh cup of coffee and a bunch of lethargic cats!
That is awesome! I would love to go there for some coffee!
ReplyDeleteThis is the coolest! I want to visit!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat does Moo think of all this? :) Thanks for the smiles. Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeletesweet lord, that's amazing!
ReplyDelete@Alice Braga- I think I'll have to keep it a secret from Moo. He gets jealous of other cats ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish Moo could be there, he would notice he isn't the only climbing cat in the world! :P
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that would be so fun. I need to visit Japan now.

ReplyDeleteADORABLE! I love it!!! I love animals, but I also love rats, and have two pet ones. I wonder how people would take to a... rat cafe ;D!
ReplyDeletecoll cool cool!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! that is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHi,I love your work and blog!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute these cats... I love cats!!!
This is the perfect place to me...(my English is terrible, sorry)
Oh my goodness! SO cute. I feel like I need to find one of these near my university so when I miss my cats I can just go there. Adorable.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteMy cat would love a job there...he's not allowed to be on the table, but I know he secretly up there when we are away. I love Japan!
ReplyDeleteToo fantastic! I think you've just describe my son's idea of heaven!! :>:>
ReplyDeleteJumping Jelly Beans!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is my kinda cafe! :)
Thanks for sharing these magnificent photos!
Happy Friday!
cat fur, coffee and beautiful blogs,

This has to be one of the best ideas ever. I'd imagine spending some time petting a cat in the middle of the day would be so relaxing. I just wish I could bring my cat with me everywhere -- I'd be the calmest person alive.
ReplyDeletewow so intersting!! i like japon
ReplyDeleteI hope Moo will never see these pics!
ReplyDeleteI really have to go to Japan.
Enjoy your holidays!

wow. a cat lovers heaven. hehe, that is too cute!! xo
ReplyDeleteIt official. I'm now moving!
ReplyDeletetoo cute!
ReplyDeleteI NEED this in my life. NOW. I even have my own massive cat at home, yet my obsession of kitties will never be fully satisfied. Truly genius, how did you ever drag yourself away?!
ReplyDeleteHOLY.. CAT! :O I wanna go there!!
ReplyDeleteI'm moving to Japan immediately.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!
ReplyDeletewow...what a cat.wonder if there are some dogs cafe too.now we can call that even. :-)
ReplyDeletejaponese, especially in Tokio, have a huge shortage in spaces for housing, therefore, owing a cat is completely out of question.
ReplyDeletethat would be the explanation for the cat playing stores. it's the only way they get to hang out with cats.
I didn't mean to seem condescending, I just thought you might not know that.
All the bes and keep the cheerful and cattish blogging
they have bunny cafes too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. What can you say about THAT... :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a cat fantasy.
ReplyDeleteJumping platforms, high walks, plenty of place to chill, hide and receive pets.
Everyone wins!
want! looks like the best thing ever ;)
ReplyDeleteawesomness times 100
ReplyDeleteWho's thinking about opening one in the US? This girl! That would be pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly how I spend all mornings with my cats.
ReplyDeleteThis is TOTALLY GENIUS. Yet another reason why I need to go to Japan.
ReplyDeleteI had heard about this place & I figured you would find it.
ReplyDeleteoh my word! they need these everywhere! Even better than the dog pubs..cuz those are byo-pooch.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to share this with my cat-loving friend!

ReplyDeleteThey have such cool cafes in Japan! I'm so sad that I'm allergic.
ReplyDeletethat. is. SOAMAZING!
ReplyDeletei am jealous beyond words.
this is the perfect combination: cats and coffee. now all i'd need is a book and it would be heaven! XD
omg I've been there!! I used to live in Tokyo!! It's such an amazing/bizarre place..Did you know you can rent a dog for the afternoon?? Haha. Hope you're having an amazing holiday :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That is so amazing! I wish I could have been there! This SERIOUSLY makes me want to open a cat cafe in Norman. Like SERIOUSLY.
ReplyDeletehow crazy!! looks like fun but i have to ask, does it stink in there?? sometimes lots of cats can get smelly, just curious!
ReplyDelete@ stephanie- it actually didn't smell at all! There's a room where they give the cats baths so they're fresh and clean!
ReplyDeleteLOL that's too funny
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome initiative!!
ReplyDeleteDo they have dog cafes? That is so great!
ReplyDeleteThat is so great. Definitely something I'd want to visit if I was ever in the area.
ReplyDeleteI would love love to have coffee in there :)
ReplyDeletethat is beyond hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIt's like heaven!
ReplyDeleteHa! The feline passed out on the floor has clearly had too much of the catnip! Some one should cut him off. =)
ReplyDeleteWho would've thought? Decorate your cafe with cats! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you are in Japan!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can bump into you two somewhere in Tokyo!!!
That is AWESOME!
ReplyDeletehow cute!!
ReplyDeleteI recently read an article about a hotel where you live like a hamster, wood shavings and all! :O
It's not adorable like this, but it just reminded me of it. haha:)
have fun in Japan!!
http://fictionalducks.blogspot.com
Oh. My. Gosh.

ReplyDeleteFantastic.... Coffee and Cats what a great place to unwind.:)
ReplyDeleteI'd senn pictures of them, but none as good as these ones. That must be SO much fun! >*.*< I really need to go to one soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blast in Asia!
Miki.
This is brilliant. I wish someone would build on e here in Seattle.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Warmly, Karen
ReplyDeletei've seen these before, its such a funny concept!! id love to visit one someday xx
ReplyDeleteThere is a cat cafe in Taipei, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI wish they had these in the states because I live in a "no pet" apt and so miss having a little furry friend around - I would go there a LOT! So glad you're enjoying your vacation!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Taiwan is one of the greatest places ever! I was born and raised in the US, but I'm Taiwanese and visit there almost every year.
ReplyDeleteSome things you HAVE to try:
- Stinky Tofu (Pronounced: "Cho Do-Foo")
It's stinky, it's tofu, and it's sooo good. Well, I guess it's an acquired taste. Some love it, some hate it, but you should try it! You can get this at the night markets.
- GO TO THE NIGHT MARKETS! ("Ye She")
There are tons around, especially if you are in Taipei. There are so many cute booths selling super cheap clothes, accessories, and food! You can also haggle with the locals (it helps a lot if you have a Taiwanese guide).
- Drive around the country side!
Taiwan is so green and lush, especially when you visit the country side (like Yilan--about a couple of hours from Taipei). And the sky is nothing like in the US. SO BLUE. The clouds are also really fluffy and beautiful in Taiwan.
I'm so excited for you! There is so so much to explore in Taiwan. If you are interested, I have pictures from my trip there this summer. HAVE FUN!
<3 Cindy

ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite things! Do they have cat-friendly beverages and treats for the cats? How did you ever find such a place?
ReplyDelete@ Aubrie- We weren't allowed to feed the cats but we could pet them all we want! Matt and I were hanging out with some people we had just met and we stumbled upon this awesome cafe. Apparently there's about 40 of them in Japan!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are real eye candy! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ! My niece (who lives in Japan) told me there are all kind of themed restuarants there, even one with a vampire theme.
ReplyDeleteyay for clean cats! how cool that they have a little bathing area for them...that makes it even more appealing knowing they are sparkly clean kitties! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww! I want to be there!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! that is the coolest thing i have ever heard of! i am literally in shock right now with happiness. ah!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to show my brother this! You find the neatest things!
ReplyDeleteA dream I never knew I had - to go to a cat cafe!

ReplyDeleteoh my God that is the most amazing thing. of course I would suffer a horrible horrible death at a cafe like that due to my allergy but still, what a way to go!!!
