cafe cat

There were 17 cats in residence the day I visited, a variety of short and long-haired cuties with friendly personalities.  I was able to interact with many of the kitties, but a few were definitely not keen on being petted!  There was also a mama cat and five tiny kittens in a cage, which was spacious and comfy, but still a bit distressing considering the cries and meows coming from inside it.  Due to the language barrier, I wasn't able to determine why they were there, but suspect they are in the cage to protect them from the other cats.

For Y700 ($6.19), you get 30 minutes entrance into the cafe which includes free hot/cold drinks and biscuits.  I liked how the the drink station is in a separate room from the cats, although it is quite small and does not have seating.  You can make your beverage in the mini-kitchen, but need to drink it in the main room.

Overall, I had a nice time visiting Neko Cafe Hitoyasumi.  The fresh, clean environment, friendly staff and abundance of cats provides a nice break from touring the city, although I do feel the other three Nagoya cat cafes offer a slight edge in terms of space, atmosphere and the 'fun' factor.
