Not Maru, Part 3

As long as I’m on a feline kick, here’s something that makes me want to reach for copious quantities of catnip: the latest in concept destinations, the cat café.


Evidently, the deal is that you pay a fee to enter the shop & spend time, erm, playing with cats.

Only in Japan. Well, & Korea.

It reminds me of another concept destination from that neck of the woods: only instead of paying a cover charge & then buying drinks for the, erm, feline-like denizens, you’re paying a cover charge & buying treats (which, to my eyes, resemble cabbage shreds) for the feline-like denizens.

I wonder if the kitties get breaks—get to go into a back room, crawl into boxes & bags, use the litter box, etc., or if they have to be out front their entire shift?

But if the concept itself isn’t challenging enough to get my head around, according to the poster(s) of this video, the guy you see briefly talking to the face-masked employee is apparently a, erm, regular. As in, having a “regular three-hour session” with the cats.

& he regularly brings presents for the cats. This time it was Minnie Mouse ears &, erm, clothes. & he was upset to discover that many of the cats present were males.

But wait, there's more: the Minnie Mouse guy "had a cat tail attached to his pants".

Two questions:

Does PETA know about this?

How long before it makes it to California?
