Pebbles Kitty Cat Café - Rotterdam, NL / by Steve Ton

There's a cat on my table.

As we were walking down a random street in Rotterdam looking for a chill place to grab a drink in the afternoon. We stumbled across this cat café. I knew they were popular in Japan, and we even have one back home in NYC. The one time I tried to visit the one in NYC, the reservations were so far out, I didn't even bother. Since I've never been to one before, I decided to stop in just to check it out. To our surprise, the hostess said they had some open tables! 

The café was pretty cool with 5-6 cats running around. It had a nice mix of sofas, tables, and chill places for both cats and humans. Although, some cats might prefer the tables. 

Cats are normally pretty skittish, but these cats were pretty active with these new human strangers vying for their attention. I started to feel guilty trying to get the attention of these cats, whereas my own cat wants to cuddle all the time and I usually push her away. 

Anyways, Pebbles Kitty Cat Café has a great mix of coffee, tea, snacks, and even "high tea". It's worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for something fun and different.
