Internet Cafés: Soooo 1999. Check Out a Cat Café Instead!

Forget Internet Cafés. The newest rage in Japan is the Cat Café. For just $10 an hour, you can drop by and hang out with a cat. The concept has proved to be very popular in urban areas. The regular customers are mainly 20- and 30-somethings who seek healing by cats, or who simply cannot afford to have pets full time. Some visiters come to the Cat Café three times a week. These photos are from the Nekorobi Cat Café in Tokyo:
