Miao Cat Café: Afternoon full of Cats 04102015

I am a huge cat lover. I grew up having a lot cats around and carried out the love for cats up to this day. I was so thrilled when I heard that a cat café opened here in Manila and promised myself to experience this.

We went on a Friday afternoon. It is a must to book a reservation because as far as I know, they do not accept walk-ins. Also, there is a time schedule followed because they have an hour interval every 2 hours for the cats to rest.  So I booked the 2pm to 4pm time slot.

Going there was a bit confusing because the map they had on FB was not correct. We had to call for directions. It was a bit of struggle especially for someone not familiar with the place. As a result, we were 30 minutes late for our 2 hours stay on the café.

So here is map from google maps:

Also, there was no parking space in the café. Though we were told we can park in the closed Fil Oil gas station near the café.

We arrived at the cafe. It is on the second floor of Cake 2 Go. We were welcomed by the manager, Paul in a small reception area to check for our reservation. Once confirmed, he gave like a quick orientation regarding the house rules, to change our shoes to their in house slippers and to sanitize our hands before going in.

When we came in, I already entered a happy place. There are cats everywhere. Some are sleeping, others are ready to play.

Entrance is Php 300.00 which already includes food. We had two options: Heavy meal (Pasta or Chicken with Rice) or Light meal (Muffin, cookies) both come in with a bottomless iced tea. There are other drink selections on their menu but you have to pay extra. We chose Pesto Pasta.

Once we placed our order and made the payment, we just picked a spot and off we go and started to meet and play with the cats. The cats were generally purebred. There were Persian, Munchkin, British shorthair and others that I don’t remember.

They also house 2 rescued Puspins

Basically, just spend 2 hours playing and petting the cats following the given instructions to avoid minor accidents like getting scratched by those beautiful cats. One of the guests that was with us in our time got a scratch for some reason and the café had a first aid. They also have toys available you can play with the cats.

10 minutes before the time ends, the manager will ask all the guests to gather up and take a group picture. 

All in all, it is given that I enjoyed very much. It was also a new experience mingling with cats that are purebred. I am just exposed to Puspins as we only adopt stray cats. I hope that this kind of cafe's flourish in the Philippines to make people aware that cats are as important as dogs. They may not be as expressive as dogs but they will surely win human’s heart in their own special and weird ways.
