Hello Steemit Friends,
It has been a while since I've posted something. Today I am very excited to take you on this little trip to a place that gives me loads of joy.
I am an only child, I grew up with many pets as my parents wanted me to have some company. My first pet was a beautiful black cat. I love all animals but My first love was definitely "Dummy" my black cat. In Thai the word, "Dum" means black, that why we called him Dummy.
I live in a condo in Bangkok city now which is hard to have any pets. One day hopefully when I am more stable I can take care of one.
I am visiting Caturday Cat Cafe
They have over 30 cats here !!!!!
Caturday Cat Cafe can be found by taking the BTS, Getting off at Ratchathewi Station . Getting off using exit number 2. It is by an area call CoCo walk. They open from 12:00-21:00 on normal days and 11:00-21:00 on weekends.
In the front of the cafe there are polaroids memorials of previous visitors. Many tourists and Thai celebrities pictures are found on the board.
Before entering, It is requested for all visitors to take their shoes off and wash their hands. They want cleanest to protect their animals due to the numerous amount of visitors per day.
Here are some rules at the opening door and the host will inform to please follow their rules strictly. They value their cats psychical and mental health.
Rules including not holding the cat up, not disturbing them while they sleep, don't feed nor pull them.
I had a welcome by this little guy when I first walked in. :)
You will see a gift shop by the entrance if you want to purchase souvenirs. They are all designed and made for this cafe so there are all one of a kind representing the cats of this cafe.
There were many tourists and locals during the hour I visited. I had to wait in a queue as they have limited space in the cafe and only allow 20 people in per hour.
Caturday Cat Cafe offer dessert, snacks and drinks for the price of 100-200 baht.
Many cats were sleeping so if you want to pet them you are allowed. Just do it gently and don't startled them.
They have little signs of all the cat names. They all have super cute names.
I had a wonderful 1 hour at this place. Everyone was smiling and enjoying their favorite paws. Cats are so gentle and peaceful. They will approach you when they feel like it and they are not forceful.
Today I brought my Steemits friends to a place where I love. I know most people are dog lovers. I also love dogs as I am an animal lover. I do tend to have a stronger bonding with cats. I had a wonderful weekend and I hope u all as well. Next week I will take a trip to Japan and I am so excited to take you all on my journey as I explore more of the beautiful Asian culture.
