Step 89: Go to a Cat Cafe

OMGKITTIES!

Every cat lover needs to go to a cat cafe, whether they own cats or not. I could open up my own cafe at my house, yet I still get a kick out of going to these unique places. Nine Lives in Indy is especially nice because they have an area where you can watch the cats from behind windows, so even those who are allergic can enjoy their coffee and watch cats play.

What's almost more interesting to watch, though, are the people who visit cat cafes. No, we're not all crazy cat ladies. In fact, there are plenty of guys who enjoy dining with the cats.

But it is fun to see a person's attempt to get a cat to pay attention the them, and the cat's complete lack of interest.

When I was at Nine Lives last night, two little girls (maybe 3 or 4 years old) came into the room with their moms. They were so excited to pet all the kitties. And while these cats are all fairly social, they really could have cared less about the toys the girls were shoving in their faces. One cat was so over it, he climbed as high as he could to get away from them!

But all in all, the people who visit cat cafes are very considerate towards the animals. It was wonderful to hear the moms remind the girls to be gentle, and everybody respected when the cats had had enough. Even if you can't get a cat to come play with you or let you pet them, it's still fun to watch these guys roam around their rooms.
