In order to open the new combination cat lounge, coffee shop, art space, and vinyl record store, the founders are requesting support via a Kickstarter campaign.

The expert coffee drinkers and animal wranglers at AnimalCafes.com have published a lavishly illustrated guidebook to Japan's best cat cafes, owl cafes, and rabbit cafes. The book recommends 45 animal cafes in the Tokyo and Osaka areas and offers plenty of tips on etiquette and rules to help visitors make the most of their trip. Written by Robb Satterwhite and Richard Jeffery, it's the ideal book for a tourist looking for some cute animal therapy during their time in Japan.
