Meow! Meow, I said!

No, not mine

I wish but I travel around a bit too much. So, I had an errand to do today in Verdun and since I had always been a bit curious about the concept of a cat cafe, I decided to drop in on one. This place is about two blocks west of the Verdun Metro station and even though it was a rainy day, or maybe precisely because of that, I searched out the place

It’s at 4833 Verdun Ave. Cafe Chato

I had a lovely hot chocolate and a little feline company.

I loved the ginger one but… well, you know cats. They make up their own minds about who’s going to pet them!

One special thing about this cafe is that you have to take off your boots and put on beach slides provided by the cafe.

They arrange adoptions and I was very tempted by this little tortoise-shell one.

Some neighborhood kids were enjoying the furry ones and most of the clientele was settled in with their lap-tops busy with work or studies.

It was a nice break. The only jarring note was a “ lost kitty” sign fixed to a telephone pole nearby. Apparently he gloried in the name of “ Toothless”. Hope they find him soon!
