| Location Type: | Public Space | |||
| Grid Locale: | Juuban Ward | |||
| A spacious area, the customer-facing half of it takes up about a quarter of the footprint of a wide seven-storey building. The kitchen is separate from the cafe, and the rest of the space behind closed doors is divided up between the functioning back end of a cafe and the functioning back end of a place full of cats.
The inside of the cat cafe has white-painted walls with cat-themed decorations, and all of the cat runs and shelves and bookcases and tables and chairs and boxes are made of a light-colored varnished wood, easy to clean and easy to see where it needs to be cleaned. Many of the bookshelves have very battered books on them, and the shelves don't go very high up on the wall -- the cats like to pull books off them. High up on the walls, of course, are the cat runs leading to perches and boxes with windows and tunnels and parts that crinkle and parts that can be scratched, and with a ladder, they're also easy to access and clean. The menu is relatively simple, with baked goods (that have an experimental section with a weird treat of the day), coffee, tea, milk tea with boba, soda, and juice. Everything has lids or is kept carefully in plastic or in display cases before being served. Taped to the door are the hours and a notice not to feed the cats chocolate, and to please try to avoid feeding the fluffy calico cat even if she begs in Japanese. As if cats could talk. | ||||
