Cute with a cup of coffee

<p>Two cats snuggle in the late afternoon.</p>

<p>The cafe features cats, their toys, a drink bar, snacks, as well as places for the human visitors to sit and relax. </p>

<p>The young orange cat is very energetic, even after others take an afternoon snooze. </p>

<p>There are many places for the cats to hide. </p>

<p>Tired of petting the cats? How about checking out the latest cat news in one of the many cat magazines available for reading?</p>

<p>There are many toys used to entertain the cats which any customer can use. Ask the staff for tips as certain cats like particular toys.</p>

<p>This fluffy feline guards the cash register from any...cat burglars.</p>

<p>A schedule on the wall shows most cats enjoy an afternoon nap. If you want to see the cats when they are more lively, come earlier in the day or in the evening after 5:30PM. </p>

<p>This cat enjoyed displaying his ninja skills for the guests.</p>

Neko Cafe Aikyatto is a cat cafe in downtown Sendai outside Hiroseidori Exit 1. The cafe is open 11am-8pm on weekdays, 10am-8pm on Saturdays, and 10am-9pm on Sundays and holidays. You can enjoy drinks, light snacks such as crackers, and of course all the cuteness you can squeeze into a 30 or 60 minute course. All is included in the set price. You are allowed to view, pet, and play with the cats. Make sure to bring your cameras to catch the magic, but remember no flash photography! This cat cafe features carpeted floors and a few couches, making spending a long leisurely time easy. Cats are fed at 11am and 7pm, so you can expect them to be a little more active at that time.
