The Cat Cafe

It has always been a bucket list sort of thing for me to visit a cat cafe at least once in my life. I failed to go to any while I was in Korea (probably thrice) because they were either not ready yet, or we were too late. I actually had no idea that Singapore even has a cat cafe to be very honest. That was until a friend of mine told me about one of the few that is at Bugis. 

The Cat Cafe, located opposite Bugis Junction and above Burger King (next to Bugis Street), charges $15 per entry which includes a free drink. Now you're probably thinking that $15 is a tad too expensive, and I agree. But cat cafes are so scarce that it makes sense that it's expensive. The good thing on the other hand is that it's per entry, so you can stay at the cafe playing with cats for the whole day. From what I know, the other cat cafe charges per hour, so this is pretty worth it. 

There are more than 10 fuzzy cats in this cat cafe, so you can choose who you want to play with. And to assist you in the playing with cats, there are a bunch of toys to grab the cats' attention. They are all totally cool with you petting them so pet them as much as you please. 

Personal favourite from the cafe, it's so cute

But there's a slight problem, and that's the light. It's actually really hard to grab a decent photo of the cats coz they tend to stay in areas which the sunlight from the windows don't reach. And they are constantly moving (both their faces and their bodies), which makes it all the more difficult to snap any photos. As you can see, I could only grab a good photo of the lazy cat by the window who's always sleeping. 

Visiting The Cat Cafe actually made me want to own a cat myself, but I'm not financially stable to do so and neither am I free enough to own one. They might be super lazy animals, but the responsibility is still there when it comes to pets. So I'd probably wait out for a decade or two before I finally get a cat I can call my own. 

Will I keep visiting The Cat Cafe until then? No, I'm really broke right now and can't afford luxuries like that. But if you have the spare cash and you want to play with some cats, go ahead man. 

Cheers
