TOKYO: Since her debut in 2014, Susaki had won 24 international tournaments in a row and gone unbeaten against 94 wrestlers from overseas.
On the floor, the tables, the chairs – cats lounging contentedly are sprawled all over the cafe. Be careful where you tread, though, as you don’t want to accidentally step on the furry felines.
“Students from nearby colleges and universities love coming to this cafe when they don’t have classes to attend,” she said of the cafe’s weekday clientele. “Sometimes, I just draw the cats,” she added with a laugh. Since her first visit in March, she has been dropping by once a month, either on her own or with friends.Opened in October 2023, the cafe is the second outlet under the Monster. A Garden Cafe brand, the first being the Central Market outlet that opened a year prior.
Often cited as the world’s first cat cafe, it was the catalyst for the cat cafe boom in Japan. Thanks to the Japanese tourists who loved the concept so much, it was brought over to their homeland and the first Japan-based cat cafe, Neko No Jikan , opened in Osaka in 2004. If you’ve been wanting to visit local cat cafes, this month gives you the best excuse as International Cat Day is observed on Aug 8. What better way to celebrate than to go cat cafe-hopping?
A former fund accountant at the Malaysian firm of the Royal Bank Of Canada, Tham quit that job just before the pandemic hit. He pivoted to the cafe business, originally planning to open a “plant cafe”. “Even though we would love to keep them all, we also have to rehome the cats that we own,” he expressed his regrets. “Their well-being is always our top priority. I always remind myself that I am a cat owner first, business owner second.”
“So, we hope that parents won’t bring their kids in with the idea of treating the cafes like a park or an arcade. If the kids are misbehaving, our staff will have to provide guidance. This is to protect our cats and, more importantly, to protect your children.” Kedah’s Langkawi island finally has its own cat cafe when H.Y. Xuan Cat Station opened last year. Located in Kuah, this place also serves as a cat hotel, breeder and groomer. Open daily, it’s a great place for families as the felines here are friendly and cuddly.
