I had a bit of time around Harajuku during 24H in Tokyo, so I popped in a local cat café:

2023/11/06 Phuket Up 2 You Cat Cafe
π 2023-11-06 01:01 in Cats, Thailand2023
I had an hour left to walk around Phuket, and right at the end, saw a small cat café. Couldn't help but to pop in for 10mn in exchange for all the loose change I had left :)

The cats were lovely, all rescues including a tripod cat and one eyed cat:

2021/07/01 More Foster Kittens
π 2021-07-01 01:01 in Cats
After my first set of lovely foster kittens, I got a 2nd set where two abandonned kitties were added to the litter (yes, they look different), and the mother was accepting enough to fed all 6. The smallest one was very small and a bit sickly when I first got it, and was weighed every few days until she finally was able to eat solid food.

Eventually, it was time for a fair amount of travel, so I had to give them back for them to go to the next foster family, but that month was a lot of fun:

It had been a while since I got to foster kittens. Being sheltered at home during covid was a great time. I got 5 lovely kittens of mixed breed, and got them used to humans and well socialized:

2020/01/13 Gold Coast Crazy Cat Cafe
π 2020-01-13 01:01 in Cats
While in Surfers Paradise (Australia's Gold Coast), I noticed a cat café while driving by in the tram, so I went to say hello :)
It was end of day, so the cats were kind of tired of human interaction, but took time to take a few pictures:


they had a man page :)

2019/06/24 De Poezenboot, Cat Boat, in Amsterdam
π 2019-06-24 01:01 in Cats
That was not quite a cat café, but a no kill shelter in Amsterdam that happens to be on a house boat. To help pay for their bills, they allow visitors a few hours every week, and it's pretty popular with long waits outside:









2017/11/06 2 cat cafés in Hong Kong
π 2017-11-06 01:01 in Cats
There were 3 in the area I was visiting that night. One was closed, the other one had a couple of cats walking around while being more of a café serving lots of food and drink options, and the 3rd one was more of the Japanse kind of cat café, but with fewer cats that were awake:

Jennifer and I finally were in San Francisco on a day other than Tuesday when KitTea Cafe is closed, so we went to check it out:

2017/01/03 Cafe des Chats in Paris
π 2017-01-03 01:01 in Cats
During our time in Paris, I figured we'd go check out a somewhat new cat café in Paris (one out of only two). By the time we arrived, we found out that it was actually kind of a real café/restaurant with a proper menu, and somehow they are allowed to serve food with cats roaming around.
There was however a line to get in, and once in people were actually expected to order food or at least a drink and stay at their table with maybe cats that could come by you, or not. It didn't seem like you could roam around and go find the cats to pet them.

Clearly that looked underwhelming compared to other cat cafés we've been to, so we didn't bother going in. I just took a few pictures from the outside:

2016/07/26 Two Cat Cafes in Osaka: Cat Tail and Neko no Jikan
π 2016-07-26 01:01 in Cats, Japan, Japan2016, Ntrips, Trips
For our last half day in Japan, Osaka, we went to a couple of Cat Cafés in the Namba area. We started with Cat Tail, where I had not been before, so we fixed that:


that cat was definitely happy to see its first customers of the day :)

While Jennifer was busy renting her lap to the sweet russian blue, I went to check the other cats:

After almost an hour, we moved to another café: Neko no Jikan. I had been there before, but only a mere 12mn just before they were closing, so it was nice to spend a bit more time. They definitely have very exotic cats, but they are not super friendly, even to their first customers in the morning:

It was fun to see those cats before having to go back to the airport.
