The brainchild of both illustrious brands is called Neko Tapi and it opened its door to the public on 26 February in Shinkyogoku, a famous shopping district in the heart of Kyoto .
The interior of the cosy cafe is painted in mint green to cosset the senses of guests and is enhanced by the playful use of furnishings with a geometric flair for the kittens to scale though they often enjoy scrambling up the human furniture just as much.
