The editorial office of Pics.ru went to the Moscow Kotokafa "Catics and People", first, to realize their long-standing dream and turn out to be where many cats. And secondly, to find out first-hand and lap, as catchers live in such an unusual place. And here is our story.
On a wide windowsill installed a huge ring made of compressed cardboard. From time to time, the cat is gracefully jumping inside the design, to run or, having accepted a beautiful pose, lying, glancing, do not go away.
This curiosity, of course, does not mean that the visitor of Kotokafa will immediately rush his fluffy inhabitants. First, what about self-esteem? Secondly, to get inside, a person needs to go through two doors, remove the upper clothes, change the street shoes on cozy crocks, wash the hands with a disinfecting gel and get a visitor's body. Not so simple.
Rule number 1. To get into Kotokafa, you must be clean. Body, although the soul does not hurt.
The most cozy and strategically favorable places in the cafe are already busy. A luxurious long-haired cat, similar to a lion with his golden-red mane, for example, looks at all from a refrigerator with snacks. The tricolor kitty rolled over a hatching in the pillow-basket near the low table. A pair of young cats are rumped in each other on the podium and a soft maze.
A white cat explores new feline souvenir supplies: there is a complete set, from the felted portraits of the inhabitants of the cafe from felt to the magnetics. Very beautiful, but terribly frightened smoky-gray cat took the hands of a cafe worker. This is new, she is still calmer than with people with unfamiliar relatives.
Then you begin to notice the others: this is someone's paw can be seen from under the curtains, here someone ran under the ceiling on a special feline walkway, someone sleeps near the books, someone carries the cardboard construction, as if brought from the exhibition of contemporary art . But someone's tail is hidden in feline lase: access to the second part of the cafe, "Kostny," is allowed only to the cats and their people. To see where the cats are sleeping, eat and rest from you, you need to prove your adequacy and devotion, and to become someone with a curator.
Rule number 2. Do not dare to pull the cat per tail - he is the owner here, and not a guest.
Time with cats stretches unnoticed. In the cafe (according to the status it is an anticafe) there are entertainment: a considerable stack of board games, cats on cats, cat toys and delicacies that you can treat those who especially liked, in the end, simply coffee with cookies for people. But the most delaying occupation here is observation of life around.
Over time, maybe not the first time, someone recognizes you. Someone will suit you and, without slowing the speed, jumps on his knees, how to your native person - come on, smooth, what came? But so far it has not happened, you will still get out of the soul. Staying quite natural, cats create an atmosphere of representation around them.
If you want to understand if you need a cat at home, this is a wonderful test. Here you will make sure that even 16 cats can be kept together, keeping the cleanliness of the room, the beauty of feline and freshness of the air. And there is a risk that you want to make a cat, even if I previously believed that you don't need it, or you already have one or two. Good news - local inhabitants can be taken home! Is free.
So, perhaps, it is worth starting with the small one. Go to Kotokafa, sit by the window on which there is a huge "treadmill" for cats and take a picture of the memory and on the joy of subscribers in the instagram of the one who today agrees to pose.
Rule number 3. If you want to have friends, become myself to someone else.
