In they have these “cat bars” all over the place. Basically you pay a few bucks and you get to hang out with a bunch of cats until the wee hours of the morning. People are often confused by the idea of the cat bar, but once you realize how incredibly small apartments can be in and how expensive pets can be ($2,000-$3,500) these cat bars begin to make more sense. Cat bars also offer a much more relaxed place to hangout until the trains start running again at 5am (as opposed to your typical night club or bar). We found this particular cat bar in Shinjuku around 3am after a night of heavy partying. Part two after the jump.
