For anyone who gave this a five stars I seriously question your humanity. I was here last week and saw a cat with a bad broken leg. I asked the owner lady if it was taken to the vet and what happened to him, that lead to a lengthy conversation with that lady where she persistently dodged my vet questions and revealed that her cats often run around the train tracks and if not taken into the house on time it can get ran over. Which has happened multiple times in the past and was the reason for the cat with the broken leg. That cat is only a few months old by the way. Another cat has to be kept on a leash by the stairs so it won’t dash to its death when the train comes. Her cats are not taken care of all that well. They are not fed nutritious foods. In such a crowded spot with the cats being so friendly she admitted that many cats have been stolen if it hasn’t been ran over by a train. Here is a picture of a cat on my lap to prove I was there. I thought about those poor cats my entire flight back to the US. How can you people seriously support this inhumane tourist trap?
From reading the comments and reactions, I can see that this owner gets on the defense in response to negative comments like mine and I just want to tell you in advance to don’t bother. I’m already livid enough with your animal cruelty so...

Read moreNo regrets visiting this cat cafe I found. As soon as we arrived, an orange kitten greeted us. The owners carried 3 more cats back to the cafe to greet us. The orange and greyish brown kitten greeted us and played with us for almost an hour. It was such an enjoyable experience.
The handmade food was delicious and well portioned out. Drinks were made fast. Food was made relatively fast too.
Despite the heat, the fans in the cafe was able to keep us decently cool. There was a staff with body odour which was affecting our experience as she walked in and out of the shop. However, the handmade food and drinks as well as the kittens made the experience worthwhile.
We even got to see the train pass by at around 12pm when they told us 11.40am. It was definitely a lucky experience for us to have happened to chance upon this place. Do not expect the trains to pass by even though they say so as it all depends on the train schedule. They said there would be a 3pm...
