Sea of Shoes: Cat Cafes
Somehow while searching for restaurants to check out I stumbled upon a list of Tokyo's 'cat cafes'. Here 1000 yen will buy an hour's worth of petting with the cafe's kitties. Since 2008 more than a dozen of these cat cafes have opened in Tokyo. Some of these cafes have as many as twenty five cats on staff. One of these cafes stays open until 5:30 AM.
Yeah, I can see how these would be popular. We're too stupid to have these in the US.
"Pay to pet a cat?? That's ridiculous!"
It actually makes perfect sense. Keeping cats as pets is way more expensive than ¥1000! I should know, I've had at least one cat for nearly my entire life.
Hit up the Cat Cafes post on SeaOfShoes.typepad.com for more pics and words about one cat cafe the blogger experienced firsthand.
