Cat Cafes are extremely popular overseas, particularly in Asia.
They originated in Taiwan and quickly spread, they're quite the popular trend in Japan right now!
Last time I was looking for one, the closest was up in San Francisco and LA (?).
But it looks like we're going to be getting one much closer to home pretty soon.
CAT CAFE SAN DIEGO
(you can subscribe for email updates at the main site)
Cat Cafe SD Twitter (@CatCafeSanDiego) for updates!
(it also shows up on Wikipedia under "cat cafe")
Cat cafes are popular with folks who come to enjoy a cup of coffee, but mostly of course to enjoy the company of the cute cats that live there. CatCafeSD has a great mission as well - it's aiming to promote its "cat employees" for adoption, and help them find loving homes!
It was slated to open on July 1 this year in time for Comic-Con season but the owner had to push back the date... Now they have confirmed a space & the lease has been signed for the cafe, and the owner's currently working on getting the space ready for cats and people.
This article from August 21 says the cafe's soft opening is expected in late October 2014.
I'm looking forward to visiting CatCafeSD once it's open. c:
I'll make a photo-post when it happens!
UPDATE:
As of NOVEMBER 6 the Cat Cafe didn't pass its occupancy permit, due to the building not passing certain codes... so unfortunately the cafe is still not open. The owner plans to repair and meet the building codes etc. before the cafe is open to the public! You can read more here.
