Tokyo Day 1e: The Neko Maru Cat Cafe

I had earlier googled, read reviews and the Neko Maru Cat Cafe seemed to be one of the best cat cafes in Tokyo.

By sheer luck, it was located just 6 minutes away from our hotel.

So we walked there after dinner. But we couldn’t find it until we stopped at another hotel and the staff googled for the address – it is located on the 8th floor of a nearby building.

Here we are!

It’s a small little apartment on the 8th floor.

Entrance is 600Y for 30 mins per person and you can drink as much as you like. Refreshments are in the fridge. We were given wet tissues to wipe our hands before handling the cats.

We counted more than 14 cats in total. The whole place was extremely clean (hmm…no smell at all, even though I thought I saw one of the cats spraying!)

I guess the Japanese people come to such cafes to de-stress after work.

This is a Mr Zurik look-alike and he was quite a territorial cat.

This black-and-white was timid.

This one is extremely cute and keeps looking for boxes to hide in.

The cafe is run by this girl.

Feeding time!

They eat three times a day (wetfood and kibble) and their fur is exceptionally soft!

All the cats at the cafe.
