Purr Cat Cafe Club, Bangkok

Meow.....

There are already countless blogs out there that highlighted this interesting adaptation which originated from Japan (Bangkok Girl, Live Less Ordinary). The Cat Cafe where you are surrounded in cats as you sip tea and devour their cake so delicious. I will just blog to share my experience and not write on how to get there, what they offer, rules of not pulling cats' tail to see if it meows and all that more. One thing the rules did not mention is "no dogs allowed", so I think you can bring a couple of Rottweiler there if you are going.

Cats cats!!!

The cats, they do not come to you when summoned, they are not desperate for affection because in their life there since opening, they already had a thunderstorm of them. Only the working staffs seemed to have the psychic ability to bring crowds of cats close to them - the hands that feed the mouths. Customers can pick up just about all imaginable cat toys sprawled everywhere and tempt the cats close by various actions of dangling, teasing and shaking. It didn't work for me. Giving out my best imitating feline mating call did not work. So brute force did work where some kidnapped the cats unwillingly from other patrons whose head had turned to other directions.

Improvise. Figuring out they must have been tired of all the toys already there, I found a piece of long simple uninteresting thread. I threw the end out a distance and waited for cats to pass by. As they did, I pulled the thread in and the cats jumped at it. Soon, I was fishing in many cats. It worked great. I could then take pictures with them leaving the patrons surrounding me with just their coffee and cake. It's interesting that other then herding the cats with a Rottweiler towards you, fishing techniques works.

I just love Cats

There were some cats spotted wearing an unattractive diaper. They are no kittens but large adult furballs. We asked the staffs why and was told some badly behaved cats that like to pee all over had to be controlled. I think the cats are just trying to mark their territory and take ownership of things. Without them diapers, dominant alpha cats could go about spraying customers in fluid and go "you're mine!!!". Cats love milk. I saw one licking the foam off the coffee of one customer when she was not watching. Then I next saw the customer sip the same coffee. No one told her, I did not... smiling. Customers were a mix of tourist and Thais. As for Thais, mostly girls and they were very attractive. I can now tell my visiting friends next time where to meet good looking Thai girls. Unfortunately, the fishing with a thread technique did not reel any of them onto my lap. My alpha female, she was sitting next to me, very ferocious.
