HOUSE RULES

A few simple rules to keep the cats happy and safe.

  1. Rule 01

    Let them come to you.

    Sit down, hold out a hand and wait. Cats stay longer when they choose you.

  2. Rule 02

    Don't pick them up.

    Please don't lift the cats. If they want to sit on your lap, that's fine.

  3. Rule 03

    Let sleeping cats sleep.

    You can look and take photos, but please don't wake them.

  4. Rule 04

    No flash photos.

    Photos are fine, but the flash hurts cats' eyes.

  5. Rule 05

    Only give treats from our menu.

    Human food can make cats sick. Ask at the counter for a treat plate.

  6. Rule 06

    Wash your hands.

    Please wash your hands when you arrive and when you leave. It keeps everyone healthy.
