More Heart-Stopping Thrills At The Cat Café
Yes, it would appear that all over the world, people are people, and cats are cats.

Let’s pretend if I can’t see you, you can’t see me either.
Hey you! I’m awake! Where’s my food?
Cats come running to greet their favorite customers. Haha, I lied. Actually, it’s dinnertime!
If you’d like to visit the Calico Cat Cafe in Shinjuku the next time you’re in Tokyo, directions & a map are on my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.
