Cat Cafes for Casual Petting

Would anyone like to invest in a cat cafe with me? I can think of no better excuse to have 25 cats. They’re earning you money! And since it’s a biz, perhaps you don’t look as much like a crazy cat lady.

Just in case you haven’t heard of cat cafes, don’t worry. Cats aren’t on the menu.

Instead, you pay a fee to surround yourself with cats to pet. This idea makes perfect sense in places like Japan, with its small living spaces.

Why own a cat when you can rent several at once? It’s such a soothing idea. (Of course, you don’t leave with the kitties. You just pet them where they are, if they let you.)

I first learned about the cat cafe concept from the Hollywood north report, written by Sarah, living in Kyoto, Japan.

Please do yourself a favor and visit One Hour of Heavy Petting to see inside the cat cafe in Osaka.

Have you visited a cat cafe? If so, please tell us about it.
