Cat Cafe - Osaka, Japan

Having been to Japan a few times we are both still fascinated by the culture both in history and the weirdness to us of some of modern culture .
 Recently in Osaka I visited one of the many Cat cafes that are dotted around the city. The idea is for people to spend time with the felines as many people don't have the space in their tiny apartments for pets.
On the day I visited there was a line of people waiting for their allocated time with the cats. Upon checking in and paying for an hour, you have a list of do's and don'ts and have to put on cat slippers as well as sanitise your hands. You are also given a small container which contained cooked chicken to feed some of the 20 or so cats that were at the cafe and yourself a beverage to enjoy.
One inside the cafe the cats are roaming about and there are plenty of cat toys to entice the cats with. It was certainly an experience that is so popular in Japan.
