Cat Cafes of Tokyo, Japan


Today I was reading online news stories and came across this one, about the cat cafes of Tokyo, Japan:

What an interesting idea. People having their coffee and spending time with cats, who entertain them just by hanging around and amusing themselves. This would be a great way to give homeless cats a place to live and be cared about, and give those without pets a chance to interact with them. Ok, it's not for everyone but according to the article, the premises are kept spotlessly clean. Also, there's a "no tail-pulling" mandate, and kids aren't allowed for that reason. Interesting. A serene atmosphere of animal appreciation, coffee and tea. It's a good thing.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I've been hard at work drawing and painting for customers and for my own projects. See some of my work on the above link. Without Starbucks, delivery food and endless energy, I'd never get this much work done. It's like an art factory over here. I love my job, and don't care how many hours it takes. It's all in a day's fun, that pays.
