Konnichiwa,Genki desu ka? (How are you?) It's a beautiful day here and I'm about to the beach before I have a conversation class.
Neko means cat in Japanese. And in Fukuoka there are 4 or 5 Neko Cafes. So I went to check one out. It sure was an interesting experience!
The cats are street cats that the cafe owner looks after, and customers pay by the hour to come in, have a drink and pat the cats. It cost $10 a drink and to stay one hour in the cafe.
This cafe had 34 cats they look after! Most were sleeping and there were lots of kittens. It was abit smelly but very very clean.
Sometimes people adopt the cats like we do at a SPCA. If you want to read more about it, this Neko Cafe has an English webpage that I just found for you:
Here are some pics:

| The cafe is designed for the comfort of cats and includes a nice big climbing area. |
The cats' descriptions are in the menu. Including their names, age, sex, hobbies, and when they first came to Neko Cafe.
The owners are giving this little kitten some medicine.
Here's me and Saran (a friend from the language school). Poor cats!

meow in Japanese is nyan-nyan（ニャンニャン） or nyaa-nyaa （ニャーニャー）not meow!
