Cat Cafe Calaugh

This is the cutest, most relaxing cat café. The cats seemed well taken care of, the café is clean, and the food is pretty good as well.
When you walk into the space, you first see a couple couches, before it opens up to a sitting area. The cats are asleep on couches, scratched by guests, or sitting in the ceiling walkway. There is a basket of toys for you and the cats to play with, but there is also a bottle of hand sanitizer and a sign advising you to finish your food first before playing with the cats.
Upon sitting down, you will see a catalog of cat photos, telling you the cats’ names and year they were adopted. Yes, they were all strays adopted by the owners of the shop. There were two new kittens the day I was there, and they definitely were with high energy, darting around and chasing each other. The food menu has standard items like curry rice and pastries, along with caffeinated and non-​caffeinated drinks. Their tea drinks can be a bit sweet so be warned. Ordering food will give you one hour of cat time, but if you stay longer you will have to pay an hourly fee.
When I was there, there was only one person manning the space, taking orders and heading into the little kitchen to prepare the food. The cats are clearly trained to steer clear of countertops, table tops, and the kitchen, and they sometimes wander by your feet as you are eating.
I spent a solid hour there eating and playing with cats. Cats are usually not that social but these are a great bunch, plus they have their ceiling walkway when they don’t want to be bothered.
So don’t be put off by the weird name, come enjoy an afternoon tea with adorable cats!
