kai and i have been wanting to visit the java whiskers kattcafé for some time and this weekend we made it happen.
firstly, what a great concept, offering another channel for cat adoptions, educating and promoting relationships with cats.
when we first entered, we ordered our fika and the barista told us about the required etiquette while in the cafe to ensure the cats are happy and relaxed (i.e. no waking up sleeping cats, no loud or disruptive behaviour, no picking up the cats). after sanitizing our hands and taking off our shoes (a very swedish thing to do), we entered the cafe.
getting cozy in the living room like space with cats about to play with, we were happy customers. there were two cats in particular that we were smitten with (as seen in the photos) and we schemed how we could adopt one while stefan was away. none of our schemes worked well in our favour. so instead, we stayed a bit longer than our allotted one hour, it was hard to leave.
there are numerous hiding places around the cafe and the cats are taken out for scheduled naps too, all to ensure they have time to themselves and therefore relaxed and stress-free.
even if you are not looking to adopt, spend some fun and relaxing time with cats and the fika is pretty delish too so definitely worth a try.
oh, and i've read that watching cat videos online gives a boost in our mood and reduces negative emotions, so i imagine this effect must be more powerful in real life.
hmmm, how do we convince stefan we need a third cat?
