Comments on: Japanese Cat Cafes http://takemetoyourleader.com/2008/09/23/japanese-cat-cafes/ "Take Me To Your Leader" focuses on trend watching in consumer behaviors, marketing, technology, and social media, but is often led astray by its eccentric authors and their love of music, traveling, random thoughts, and pirates.

(Odaiba as the best one.)

Figured it would be a good way to show her what she's been missing. ;) I just returned back to the US and A after living in Tokyo the last 7 years, and although I never went to a Cat Cafe, it definitely came up as a “thing to do” on some weekends.

I must sneak my way into one of these cafes and do some undercover recon. My human is probably behind this.
