We talked quietly and the cats played with us for the whole hour we stayed. We didn’t even realized 1 hour had passed!! You can tell these cats are well taken care of because they are calm, but their eyes are bright and alert. I rarely see that in the cat at larger cat cafes. The owner definitely cares about her animals and provided a good environment for them.

ゴールデンウィークの最終日に彼氏と行きました。 夕方だったのもあり、お客さんはおらず貸切状態でした。 猫ちゃんは4匹いて、時間が経てば慣れて上から降りてきます。 撫でるのはやはり慣れてからじゃないと無理な猫ちゃんもいましたが、全体的には少し懐いていました。 店員さんは一人だけで優しかったです。 飲み物はインスタントもので無料でした。 猫ちゃんの遊び道具も沢山あって環境は最高でした。 ポイントカードを作ってもらったのでまた遊びに行きます!

こちらの店の5年前の評価があって店員の態度が悪いとか猫が降りてこないとか書いていましたが、確かに降りてこない子もいましたがとても人懐っこい猫ちゃんたちがいてとても癒されました(^^) ドリンクやフードはほとんどないですが、猫と遊びたいという人にとってはとてもいい場所だと思います。

猫カフェでここまで人懐っこい猫ちゃんも珍しいかもです。可愛いすぎる… 1時間ほどがっつりおもちゃで遊んでたくさんなでなでしました。 人が多くなるとみんな上に避難してしまっていたので、猫ちゃんと触れ合いたい方は空いてる時間に行くことをおすすめします。 大きい音が苦手なので、大声で会話してると上に避難されてしまうかもしれません。
