Unusual cafe "Capi Neko Cafe" in Japan

January 25, 2023

Visitors order drinks and sit with a baldezhny rodent - a capybara. The capybara is the world's largest living rodent, and although they are native to South America, they are so beloved in Japan that they even have an anime character dedicated to them. Usually capybaras are kept in zoos, but Tawashi is a friendly capybara who loves to hang out with visitors and sleep on the couch, and seems happy to be around cats and people. More and more cat cafes, including Capi Neko Café, are rescuing cats from the street and looking for a new home for them. The staff hopes that by spending time with the cats at the cafe, customers will be able to form a bond with one or more animals and take them for themselves.
