MY CITY NOW

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 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!

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

Trucy Wright & Apollo Justice decide to spend the intermission chatting with Klavier Gavin (and getting to see his dressing room.)

Once they get into The Gavinner's dressing room, they meet with Klavier, who tells them that Lamiroir, the special guest, flew all the way over here after being invited by him. He happened to catch a show of hers while overseas, and was immediately captivated.

Lamiroir gets bashful at the praise, as translated by her manager and interpreter, Romein Letouse. She says her music is nothing without the accompaniment of Machi Tobaye, her pianist; a blind orphan never seen away from her side.
