Cat cafes

[sartorias]

So steepholm has been traveling in Japan, and has been blogging the experience, with pix. Today's entry included a visit to a cat cafe. She finally lured one fine young mog by some tidbits. Other customers had a cat, maybe two

Cats are lovely people. I don't let mine sleep with me, though, since I'm mildly allergic and they always want to sleep on my face. "What do you mean you can't breath? Why would you want to breath when you could have me on your face instead? Purr purr purr." :D

[sartorias]

Of course! That makes perfect sense to a cat!

We have a cat used bookstore in the neighborhood. They're an excellent bookstore, too.

[sartorias]

Oh, what a great idea. I must seek that out next time I am down there.

If you want to find it, it's Adams Avenue Books, and they're at the corner of 35th and Adams, about midway between the Adams Avenue offramp from the 805 and the Adams Avenue offramp from the 15 (in each case, the first offramp south of the 8).

I'm going to try to remember that, though who knows when I'll be down there next. ConDor seems to have turned into a media con, alas, so I doubt I'l be back for that.

Cat cafes are great! We had one in San Jose last year and they're looking to start up again.

I should think they would be overflowing with customers!

They limit the number of visitors at any time so the kitties don't get overwhelmed. http://www.thedancingcat.org/

I think they have one in San Francisco?

I'd totally go for one here. That would be so relaxing, wouldn't it? Whenever I'm having a stressful day, I lay down with one of my cats. They all have different ways of showing love.

I looked, and it seems there is a group trying to get one going in LA. Whoop!

Kit Tea. I was there just this week. :-)

[sartorias]

I will remember that!!!

I've been to cat cafes in Japan (a few, in fact) and Hong Kong. There's already at least one in London, and I think others elsewhere in the UK. The cat cafe I know in London is very in demand so you have to reserve weeks or months in advance (though sometimes they have cancellations and you can luck out).

I like the many-kitty experience, and I especially like being able to cuddle up to breeds like Norwegian forest cats (HUGE kitties!) because we're not sure it'd be fair to keep one in our little flat really.

[sartorias]

Oh, that would be so marvelous! I've never seen a Norwegian forest cat. Looking them up as soon as I post this!

We've become somewhat obsessed in this house, to the point of having a name picked if we can somehow manage to have one. They're very handsome cats indeed.

(I first fell in love with them via Haruki, of cat cafe Nekorobi in Tokyo. Pic here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152847690760485 and I took a bunch of photos of the other kitties around the same time.)

Oh, what a DARLING!
