I think I remember hearing that there was a cafe in Seoul with a bunch of cats you could play with.

Anyone know the details? I hear there is a dog cafe too somewhere.

You know what pkang I was in Hyehwa a couple of weeks ago and the girl who we were with took us to a small bar that served food, beer and there was about 4-5 cats in the bar as well. Thing was they were in the kitchen with the food.

Exit 4, straight down the street up come up on, to the end. Then you're at a big junction with a Subway opposite go down that street about 100 meters on your right.

One cat kept on attaching itself to my hand when I had it down near the ground.

Really backing up my idea that dogs are way better.

There's a pet cafe in Gwangju. You can sit with dogs and cats and buy them pet treats from the menu.

Many thoughts rushed into my head when I read that. Are you gonna get hustled by the cat's who want the Caviar flavoured Kitekat? Will they use you and then when you've nothing left and you're trying to sell your shoes on the street, they'll say 'no scratch, no snatch'?

I once went to a bar in Hongdae that had cats walking around. I was fairly drunk but as far as I remember, it was on that street with all the funky clothes shops... same as S Club, but around the back where the street forks and on the second floor. Shit directions, I know but it's hard to explain and I'm not even sure if that's where it was.

Well. I have resisted weighing in on this one for a long time. But I must share the story of Stumpy. God knows where he is now. Stumpy was a Newf and man if you could understand a word he said, good on ya. Stumpy was a former coke junkie (as in, he shot it in a needle) and he had thousands of permanent track marks all over his arms. He hadn't booted up in 11 years (he said) but he wouldn't ever wear short sleeves in public because of his railroad tracks. He never drank, but he would have ten cigarettes in his junior y fronts sitting on the sofa before breakfast. He had been beaten to death by the police in Calgary, they shattered both his ankles and gave him a scar that went from the top of his head to under his chin. He was clinically dead in the hospital and after he came out of the coma he went straight (ish.) He was grey, grey as a ghost from his three pack a day habit. He TOLD our hagwon that he wasn't doing his visa run because he wasn't happy with them and was looking for other jobs.
He never drank, but he loved to buy drinks for people and convince them to do nutty stuff. He and my kiwi friends were refused entry to a "high-class" booking club so he convinced my friend, who should also bear some responsibility for this, to pick up a dead cat that had been squished by a car and take it into the entrance of the club. The cat had its eyeball hanging out and had been partially eaten by flies. Kiwi #1 went running into the nightclub swinging this dead cat over his head screaming at the bouncers for killing his cat. Half the bouncers were terrified of him, the rest wanted to murder him. There was a lot of screaming, blood and fur. THEN the guys proceeded to tell this rich young Korean couple that were leaving the club that the cat was his and that they were all depressed about it getting run over, so the Koreans helped him BURY the cat in the planter outside the club. They all cried and said nice things about the cat. They used an old tire as a gravestone. These Koreans ended up being hardcore Christians that came over to his house later and tried to convert all of us.
Stumpy did THREE midnight runs on THREE different schools in THREE months. Immigration eventually kicked his ass back to the Grand Banks. Either that or he moved to Thailand so he could score heroin, that was his other plan. He did, however, have good taste in music and was actually really popular with women, Korean and Western. Man, I miss that guy.

I only know of a dog cafe. I couldn't find the cat cafe. I assume they closed. Cats are not so popular, yet, in Korea. So, maybe, the cat cafe closed down, because I called the number that was associated with it before and got no answer. That was about a year ago, and I didn't try ever since.

There's a dog cafe on Wolmido (ocean boardwalk in Incheon) that you can drop a dog off at while you walk around, or stand outside and look at the dogs inside.

The "cat bar" is not closed, but it is hidden, small and popular with the locals.

So these "pet treats"...are they for real... or do they drink cold tea when you pay big bucks?

Hey pussyman... I love you long time...

You like doggy style?

Woof!
