    Cat Sanctuary

    Posted by marym 15 February 2006

    A must for cat lovers. This is an ancient site in Rome - where Julius Caesar was stabbed by Brutus in 44BC. The site has now be taken over by cat and their servants. We found it by chance and it warmed my heart to the extent that it made our holiday.

    Nekobukero

    Posted by EmilyBeer 29 October 2005

    In Tokyo the vast majority of people live in apartments and pets are not allowed or possible. Nekobukero is a response to this. It's a cat petting "house" where lots of Tokyo families and couples go to stroke and play with lots of lovely cats. The set-up itself is worth looking at with cat-themed decor including a cat-shaped TV and a cat-train where some of the moggies spend little holidays away from visiting hands.

    There are plenty of toys to tempt the cats with but they also have the opportunity to jump up onto some high shelves to snooze or just to ignore all comers. It's a lovely way to spend a few hours with plenty of people watching points as well as the obvious joy of stroking cats at the top of a Tokyo highrise.

    Nekobukero can be found in the Tokyu Hands department store in Ikebukero. (Ikebukero Station) Everyone knows where Tokyu Hands is so ask at the station. Once you get to Tokyu Hands Nekobukero is on the top floor, you enter through the pet department.
