| - This is a truly unique cafe space in Toronto, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the cafe owner, who clearly makes it a priority to ensure the cats here are happy, healthy, and safe. The rules are in place for a good reason--I've seen ignorant / loud people pursue the cats aggressively when it's clear they want space. So I totally support the owners stepping in and reminding patrons of the rules--otherwise I'd be worried that the cats were more stressed out. I've visited several times and I find the owners to be friendly but firm with the rules, and I think that's just fine.
By the way, the drinks here are wonderful--the latte I had last week was nothing less than perfect! Everything is clean and every time I visit, there are different toys set up for the cats to play with. Such a pleasure just to sit quietly, relax and enjoy. It's a fairly quiet space, albeit with fun pop music and the occasional swishing of cat toys.
On a final note, I don't understand the people complaining they can't pet the cats here. OF COURSE the cats here don't want hundreds of people petting them all the time--it's stressful and scary, especially when the people act like clumsy, loud ogres. Poor kitties. However...If you buy treats and remain calm and quiet, the cats will be all over you in no time.
