Cat Cafe — Local services in Seoul

Visited here on July 1st 2017. My 8 year old son is a huge cat lover. I think its a neat idea, but it could have been way better. This place smelled BAD! I have a cat, and I know i have to clean the box alot, it smells just like 20 cats live there. I would have expected them to do a better job of cleaning it. The cats were mostly pissy. which is typical of a cat. They didn't like any toys provided. We even brought a laser pointer from home, thinking they would like that, but nope. Not one cat wanted to play. Finally my son found one cat, Bella that was sweet and let him pet her alot. the price to get in is about $10 and you get one drink with that.

Given that I could have bought 12 bottles of soju for what I paid to sit and drink a 2 cent Lipton tea, pretty dissatisfied. Update: another couple came in. Was told and pointed out to the toys. Seemed to have...

Well, these places are certainly all the rage in 2018. Calling this place a cat cafe is misleading. While it may have an ample number of the furry little critters the attention paid to the cafe aspect is, in a word, woeful. If it's possible to make water just off the boil taste any worse than it already does then this place knows how. And yes the cats were incredibly cute and yes the kids loved it but really? What a rip off! Fifty dollars US just to get among the scratching, meowing, overly Kawai cuteness. The strangest tourist trap I've ever known. Would not recommend unless you're seriously into...
