The Cat Cafe

The Cat Cafe Southern California's FIRST cat cafe, located in America's Finest city Cat cafes started in Taiwan, and spread to Japan, where they're very popular.

There are over 100 cat cafes in Japan. Since then, they've spread throughout the world. We were inspired by one of the first cat cafes in Europe, Le Cafe des Chats, in Paris. They had waits of two to three months for people to get a reservation. Since opening in January 2015, The Cat Cafe has sent hundreds of cats to good homes. Originally partnering with San Diego Humane Society, we've partnered

with The Rescue House since February 2017. In addition to adopting out animals, we seek to highlight other San Diego businesses. That's why we feature coffee and espresso from Cafe Virtuoso, pastries from Bread & Cie, cookies from The Cravory and sandwiches and snacks from Sunshine and Orange.

Lily always looks like she's got the feline equivalent of bed head. You'll get to see more of it these days as she spends more time in the cat room.

This is impressive. Most cats purr at about 25 decibels but this cat purrs at around 68. That's as loud as a dishwasher!

Some cats like to play with the water from the shower head by swatting at it. Or are they trying to protect us?

If you hear a cat meowing from up high, it's probably Cass. And he's looking to get your attention. Don't worry, when he really wants pets he'll come down to get them.

On the second day of Comic-Con, it's fitting that we share a photo of a real life bionic cat. In 2009, he became the first cat to get bionic limbs implanted into his bones.

His surgery led the way for many other cats and dogs to get this treatment so they could lead happier lives.

Lily likes a calm room, so we may not see much of her for the next few days. If she does come out, extend your hand to her, let her sniff it and if she dips her head, she's telling you that you can pet her.

We can't promise you that you'll be as strong as The Thing if you drink our Comic-Con special but it will give you the power to push through your busy day. It's chocolate flavored and packs more than 25 grams of protein, fiber and potassium into a powerful drink.

Ask our barista for this drink by name before it leaves when Comic-Con ends.

It's a Leo log!
