Killing time in Japan cat cafés
Lonely hearts pay for feline friendship during hour-long sessions in cat-filled coffee shops.
'Cat Time' (Neko No Jikan) is a cat cafe that opened in 2004 as Osaka's first cat cafe where customers pay by the hour to enjoy the company of cats, Osaka, Kansai region, Japan.
Osaka, Japan - Japanese love animals, but pets are often forbidden by landlords of the tiny flats where most people dwell.
The solution: cafés where pet-less patrons pay $11 an hour to hang out in a room full of felines.Cat cafés are proliferating in Japan, serving up friendship for the lonely and curious - albeit briefly.
More than a dozen cats of all shapes, sizes, and colours populate the restaurants, as staff serve piping hot coffee and creamy cakes. Persians, Tabbies, and Siamese laze around, clean themselves, and eat cat food out of colourful bowls as patrons meet and greet them.
In Osaka, about 520 kilometres west of the capital Tokyo, the Cat Time café is one of 10 such establishments in the countrys third-most populous city.
Cat Time has 21 cat staff, working the room alongside two humans. Waitress Tamao Ishikawa trained as a veterinarian, and knows all too well each cats personal traits, which she shares with visitors. She works around dozing animals perched on display cases, countertops, and curled up next to coffee makers.
No common tabbies are employed here. Cat Time is staffed by an assortment of pedigree breeds including Exotic Shorthairs, Maine Coons, and American Curls. But the cats meow here is one-eyed BJ - short for Blackjack - a placid Ragdoll who attracts the most customer attention.
While the atmosphere is laid back, there are rules: no shoes, no shouting and no smoking. Guests must let sleeping cats lie, and any form of cat cruelty is strictly prohibited.
Cat cafés have also spread to Taiwan, South Korea and China.
Japan is at the forefront of the pet rental industry. In Tokyo, there are more than 100 pet rental businesses. Customers can lease anything from a turtle to a parrot for an hour to a week. Dogs, however, are the most popular part-time pet.
Costumers have to pay at least $11 an hour, to hang out in a room full of felines.
Customers have one hour of "cat time" . Beverages and cakes are available.
There are 21 cats residing at this cafe. Their favourite activity is to be relaxed.
The popularity of cat cafes in Japan can be attributed to apartment rules, where pets are often forbidden.
Cat time is one of many pet rental options. The city has at least 9 other establishments.
There are simple rules : not shouting, sleeping cats should not be disturbed, no smoking, and any misbehavior such as pulling tails is not tolerated.
Guests must remove their shoes before they can spend some quality time with the cats
