because ilya wants to hold every cat, and cats all want to say hi to him, and they’re all curious about the smell of anya on his clothes. shane snaps a lot of photos—harris would love them for the team’s social media.

However I do not want to go to a gay bar because I do not, nor will I ever, drink alcohol. I do not particularly want to be around drunks.

So instead of a gay bar, I propose a Queer Cat Cafe.

Hypoallergenic cats ofc

There's a section of the cafe where the cats can't go if you don't want cats near you. That section is the library.

There are lil pride flags everywhere, even the obscure ones.

They sell pride pins for 90pish each at the counter.

There are LED lights.

It's autism friendly, lights can be toned down if needed and everything is neatly spaced out

You can have a sticker to write your pronouns on

Mostly queer artists/songs played

So this is gonna be a REALLY weird post from me, but there's this cat cafe I frequent that's on the ropes and has set up a crowdfunder, because otherwise they'll have to close at the end of the year :')

Of the many many animal cafes in Tokyo, I have loved Nyankoto Cat Cafe for a long time because of how much they genuinely care for their animals, not just as moneymakers. They have multiple cats with health conditions, including one who sadly passed away just months ago from cancer. The older cats who are too aged or unwell have retired to the owner's house where she continues to post pics of them for fans who miss them.

But between the vet costs and multiple sewage backups in their building, they either close, or if they get funding they can move - otherwise it's unlikely the owner can afford to keep all the cats and they'll have to split up and go to different people after living together all their lives :(

The smallest donation is just 1000 yen, or about $6 USD. They'll take paypal and credit card incl from overseas*. In total they're asking for about $20k USD to relocate the store, and they're halfway to their goal!

*EDIT: if the Campfire address registration is bothersome for those outside Japan, feel free to DM me and I can make a Paypal donation on your behalf! I’m going to ask them if they can open it up to international backers to remove the domestic address requirement.

I cannot overstate how much I love these cats (especially Chachamaru) so I will lovepost about my favs under the cut:
