Cheating on Bloo.

I recently encountered two words that changed my life: Cat Cafe.
Oh yes. Japan has read my mind and supplied a place to get a cute kitty fix! Basically, you pay about $10 to go into a super cute Ikea-like cafe and get to play with cats! Included is a drink and dessert. I personally selected hot chocolate and creme brulee, but there were other delicious options available including tiramisu and sesame ice cream.
The whole setup of the cafe is centered around the cats, so there are cool cats-only walkways on the walls and such. There was also a raised platform/lofty section that houses their cages for sleeping and toys. Underneath it is the litterbox area that can be reached by the cats through a small hole. It was a small space, but the design is pretty creative and comfortable.
The cafe takes in strays and rescues cats, so some of them had a few oddities...there was one cat that looked more like a bushbaby than a cat. And it had these weird flat ears and broken/crooked tail. It kept falling from great heights (without landing on its feet), and smacking straight into stuff! :( Poor kitty. but it was kinda funny.....
There were so many cats, and plenty of itty bitty kitties to go around. I managed to snuggle up with one that was super adorable!! I seriously wanted to take them all home with me.
Needless to say, I'll be going back there. Here is the website (click on "cats" to see adorable profiles of the cats...in Japanese, but with cute pics): Tenjin Cat Loft.
