Leave it to the Japanese to turn cats into whores.....oops I mean escorts......Calico cafe is a cafe in Tokyo where you can pet a cat (you can choose from among 20 different breeds) while you sip your coffee.
There are certain rules though:
You must wear your cat pass around your neck
You cannot hold or stroke a cat if it does not want you to (reminds me of a strip club)
Cats who are too young to be held wear scarves
You must leave sleeping cats alone
Children under grade 5 are not allowed.
