at cat cafe Temari no Ouchi, the house of temari

As you can see its all about the cats here

and this episode is a look at what you can expect at a cat cafe here in tokyo

We're inside this amazing little house

I cannot believe we're actually

here, in a cat cafe

Well, that was really good I met you by accident,

because that's the luckiest thing in your life!

yeah I can't believe I bumped into you right there on the street

Having a cafe with cats around, that's amazing

right and this is Jennifer Julian for those who don't know if he's my best

friend here in Japan

and you've been here just as long as I have

Yes I do, 18years!

yeah alright. What is your whole attractions with cats?

I think cats are amazing because of the way they move, and

I think they have this kind of taste

I think cats, they choose you, we don't choose them.

That's what makes me a dog person

because they are so simple and easy to get to know.

Instantly your best friend

You know also in many places

it's forbidden to have pets at homes.

well that's right more specifically landlords are very strict of having pets

especially of having cats in the house

and to be honest with you. Japanese apartments are quite small

it would be really hard to have one pet

not alone 2 or 3, or 20 like they do here

Look at this place, it's amazing

This is really cool. It's like a set out of a movie, may be a

Ghibli movie.

I kind of have a feeling you have it right now

What's that for?

Come and play with the cats!

as i recover from cat hypnosis

let's talk to the manager about the cat cafe concept at TEMARI no OUCHI

There's a book of cats here, let's meet 3 of them

this is TEMARI a Scottish Fold and the original

the cafe is named after TEMARI. It's her house after all

she is also the leader of the group so be on the lookout

she'll be making her rounds to say hello

next up we have the adorable MOPPU

a munchkin cat he's two years old

and has the cutest eyes.

Those little legs move really fast

he's on the move again

MOPPU is energetic and you'll find him all over the cafe, greeting new customers

Then there is KINOKO

An exotic Shorthair

Look at that kisser

She's beautiful in our own way which makes her the most popular cat around.

It may not look it

but she loves to cuddle up when she's not hiding out

Kinoko is always hanging out around the neighborhood

try to find her

there are four main rules to Temari noo

no hugging the cats! They're not dogs

note that children under 10 are generally not allowed entry

No flash photography. Cats hate bright lights

don't feed cats human food

no outside food or drinks

TEMARI NO OUCHIi has an admission fee

1200 yen on the weekdays and 1600 yen on weekends

after 7 p.m. it's only 700 yen

There's no time limit and no push to order a lot of food

Got it?

Now let's play with the cats

and....where are they?

not here

here's one but she's sleeping

Ah-hah! Jennifer found one on the window sill

but like she says, you don't choose them.

they choose you

there are toys you can use to play with the cats

like this thing

perhaps this lobster one

I'm not really used to playing with cats

what's this thing again?

It's KINOKO she's hanging out inside a log

She looks like she wants to play. It's a chance to put these cat toys into action

She doesn't seem to like the yellow feather toy

I wonder why

Cats seem to just come and go

they're here one second and gone the next

sometimes you can find to purr with

if not just talk with your friends

cats love to be high and mighty

look down on us

They want to be worshiped

bowed down to the almighty cat

here's milk, the cat

She looks hungry. Look at how she attacks the treat

but wait! Milk is not supposed to be fed!

Cats with ribbons have already eaten

are on diets

sorry little milk

you're still adorable

the cat food is available for 300 yen

the mochi mochi dog and paw print coffee

are quite popular with the humans

the coffee comes in paper cups with lids

so the cats don't drink them

I guess cats love a good latte, too

that mochi mochi dog. It's the only dog allowed in the cafe

I asked some other customers what brought them to the cat cafe

this nice couple was on a date

Big cat lovers we have lot cats at home

didn't get to take them with us so, miss cats

Being overseas, it's nice to be able to see other nice kitties

unwind with them

cat cafes are really unique

it's a great way to spend a day

something new and different

I may be coughing up fur-balls tonight

but it was worth it

It's really relaxed right now?

totally relaxed

That's cat power

That's right. So here in Tokyo and

need to just take a break and get in touch with you feeling self

Go to a cat cafe

and if you had any doubts
