Ever heard of a cat cafe?
Well, the land of Hello Kitty now has a new fad: feline therapy for humans..
and yes, this takes the form of a cat cafe...
and it is an increasing trend in Japan now..
Up to date, eleven cat cafes have opened in and around Tokyo since 2005, most of them in 2007 including the one opened by cat-lover Yumi Matsuda in her father's old dentist office..
All the cat cafes sell themselves as an island of purring calm in a city where commutes are long, housing is cramped and landlords are pet intolerant..
The cafe offers tea, juice, and the opportunity to lounge around with a roomful of cats at $11/hour...
The animals roam the inner sanctum, a bright, carpeted room furnished with sofas, cat toys, and a TV showing cat videos..
Surely a paradise for cat lovers !!
but Masuda limits clients to only eight at a time claiming that even though the cats enjoy the attention, they prefer to outnumber the humans...
Interested???
Why not visit their websites here:
It's in Japanese but if you put the website on google, it is able to give a rough translation of the website..
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
