Vancouver is long overdue for a whimsical cafe the likes of which you can only find in Japan. We won't have to wait much longer since a Totoro-themed Cat Cafe is opening soon in Mount Pleasant! You have to go to Catoro Cafe this Summer to see this magical place in person. This enchanting cafe is inspired by Miyazaki's classic anime film My Neighbour Totoro and it will look like a magical forest paradise for cats. It's going to be similar to the Temari No Ouchi Cat Cafe in Japan and if the photos are to be believed, then this will be the most adorable place to open up in Vancouver in a long time! Imagine a cute storybook world with a touch of Totoro magic thrown in. View this post on Instagram Heated floors. Thirty kitties. Parfaits served by sixteen year old maids. Yep, must be in a Cat Cafe.

Gave up trying to take a decent selfie with them. Oh well, I guess these three gave up on us humans as well~ #tokyzon A post shared by Enzon (@enzontan) on Aug 26, 2016 at 6:25am PDT Partnering with Cat Therapy and Rescue Society, this cafe will be a welcome addition to a city that desperately needs more adorable animal cafes. They are a great way to support animals in your community that need homes. If you're looking for a new feline addition to your family, then it's a really cute way to meet cats! Step through the magical tree trunk that separates the cafe from the cats! Just like other cat cafes, there will two separate spaces: one for the cafe and one for the cats. You can enjoy bubble tea and bubble waffles in the cafe side before heading in to hang out with the cats. You can play, pet and cuddle with highly social cats and you're going to be able to have super-adorable photos.
