Cat House

Rental conditions in Japan are quite strict, and most tenants do not allow pets to be kept in apartments. However, the Japanese found a way out of the situation - cafes began to open across the country, in which visitors could play with pets at a reasonable price. In addition to the "some cafe" (猫 cat), in Japan created "usagi cafe" (兎 rabbit) and "Inu-cafe" (犬 dog).

In this article I will share my experience of visiting one of the "cat cats" located in the Shinjuku area (新宿) in Tokyo. The hour of stay in this institution costs 1000 yen (about 10 dollars), after that you can pay 200 yen for every 30 minutes if you want to prolong entertainment with fluffy animals.

The cafe is allowed to take pictures, but you can not use flash. Also, there are special booklets-instructions, which describe in detail the "complicated" procedure "how to properly iron a cat." At the entrance you will be given a special badge with a number. In addition, you must leave your shoes and bag in the locker, change into special slippers and wash your hands thoroughly.

All cats living in a cafe receive proper care. The animals have a special meal hour - visitors are forbidden to feed them. In the cafe - cats of different breeds, brought from different parts of the world. Each cat has its own name and portfolio, where the breed, weight, height and even date of birth are indicated.

Polite cafe workers not only take care of cats, but also help customers to establish contact with animals, telling about the preferences of cats and how to get their attention. In "some cafe" you can not only play with cats, but also have a snack and spend time with benefits. In the institution eatsbookshelves, manga and novels (also there are books in English).

Although cats are very capricious, after a while they will pay attention to you and allow them to play with them. At the exit, the cafe staff will tell you that they will wait again, and give a coupon for one free drink the next time they visit.
