One of the things that Japan is pretty famous for is their cat cafes, but it took me until May to actually go to one! The cat cafe of choice was called Hogo Neko Cafe Kagishippo (保護猫カフェかぎしっぽ) in Ibaraki-shi, Osaka. It was so nice! They took in cats temporarily and got them more socialised and re-homed them, which I thought was lovely. It's a really small place, and the owner was so kind! You can tell he really loved cats. They even have their own blog introducing the cats: http://ameblo.jp/kagi-shippo-hogo/
The cafe a pretty small and cute place. You could sit on the floor or the sofa and play with (or just watch) the cats. There were some areas high up near the ceiling where the cats could go to avoid the customers, but over half were on the floor and said hi.We were lucky when we went because there was also a super sociable kitten called Yuki there for a few days when we were there.

Thanks for finding this place, Emily! Even though I'm not a cat person, I loved the cat cafe. The owner was kind, and I loved the fact that they were helping rehome the kitties.
I'd definitely recommend visiting a cat cafe while you're in Japan! But make sure you find a cute small one like Kagishippo. :)
