Seriously, though, why are they all looking up? Is this some weird fetish I don't know of, and do not want to know of??? Why would anyone take pictures of something like this?

That poor last cat who just wants to get away. Ummmm, no.

I think that you would have to ask ardeegee. He's obsessed with Japan, and everything Japanese. Well mostly anime and manga girls, I guess.

I'm wondering how they select the cats for the cat cafe? They must audition them somehow, to get only the ones that won't freak out at being handled all day by strangers, and that don't fight with each other. I hope they don't keep them in cages until someone "orders" them.

Some of my friends adopted a cat from a no-kill shelter. They took me to see it. The shelter people bring new cats in and keep them in cages until they settle down. Then they open the cage doors and let them out. They have a large room full of cages and cat trees, and most of the cage doors are open. There are about a hundred cats in the room, just wandering about, and visitors can go in and play with them. I don't think I'd want to be served coffee in that room.

My guess is that if they can walk up to a cat, pick it up, and pet it it'll be a good cat. After they pass that test, they probably put it in a room with male & female cats. Then it's probably spay and neuter time. Other than that, it looks like a win-win situation for all concerned.

The pictures I saw on other websites didn't show rooms full of cats. I think that the first link even mentioned that they limited the number of visitors. Inferring, I think, that they cared more than just making money by adding more cats.

OMG. Well trained dogs.

Cat cafe...hmmm...sounds like a sanitation nightmare. I can't imagine such a thing would be allowed to run here. Cute idea though, as long as they can keep it clean enough for pets and people to enjoy!

Nightmare? Not really.

Back in the 70s I was renting a small apartment in an old building (built apx 1910). Only apartments above each other were the same. All the rest down the hall were different configurations.

The people down the hall from me moved out and left the door unlocked. So that evening, after work, I went in to see if maybe I wanted to swap apartments.

I knew that there was a problem as soon as I opened the front door. Judging from the droppings they had raised free range pigeons in the apartment. Every floor, the counter tops, and the range were covered in pigeons shit.

I suppose moving was easier than cleaning the apartment.

And you think that a lot of cats might be a problem?
