Who doesn't like to cuddle with soft, furry cats? Okay, I know a lot of people don't (haters!), but I am a huge cat lover! So when I found out that I can go somewhere and be surrounded by friendly cats, I was in! I have no idea what the name of this place really is, we just called it the Cat Cafe. You pay an 8,000 won entrance fee and get a free drink of your choice. Honestly, it is a bit disturbing to have to shield your beverages from feline fur, but for the sake of some kitty cuddles I did it. I counted 24 cats, so you will definitely get your turn to share the love! You can purchase treats to feed them, and they know when you do.

When we first arrived the staff helped the girls feed the cats their treats, and the cats just climbed up them and out onto their arms to get to them. So adorable. They also pulled out some toys to get the cats playing and doing more cute stuff!
There's not much else to say about a cat cafe except "awww!" This place is in the now super famous Gangnam district, which is a way over-hyped, material girl kind of zone. Line 2, Gangnam station, exit 10. U-turn at street level, take first right, and another immediate right, go straight about 250 feet (? I'm bad at distance, but it's not far), look up for the pink cat sign, the cafe is in a building on the left with the tiny 7-11, 4th floor, same floor as a cosmetology center, look for the cat signs. They don't open until 1:00, learned that the hard way, so don't rush! Just FYI, there is a really delicious Thai/Vietnamese restaurant, Mekong Thai, close by.
