βMy first experience dropping by a cat cafe was not what I expected. Instead of a room of cats pouncing on toys, clawing at scratching posts and jumping on furniture, I saw no movement. All of the cats were sleeping. An all-white cat, two grey tabbies and a white cat with black and brown splotchesβ all conked out. Curled up on chair cushions, on sofas and on fluffy, oval cat beds on the floor.β
βThose who did stay either greeted us personally. Some remained napping, not wanting to say hello (I guess they partied hard the night before). Some expressed a playful behavior. [...] The guardian advised us that the cats that werenβt as socialized to the public not to pet them unless the cats gave us the signal that it was ok. Some made their boundaries known by hissing, meowing, growling and swatting with their paws.β
βThe guardian went over the doβs and donβts of the cat lounge rules as we entered the room. The room had big windows looking out the Wallingford Street, which allows a lot of natural lighting. I tossed my backpack and my iPad and placed my coffee on the table as I said hello to all the cats that met me with curiosity. Only two other people joined the session with us, which gave us more time to spend time with the cats.β
