Cat Shop (2006-01-13)
Hidden in the quiet suburb of Nezu (
) in a little alley
amongst residential houses is a cat shop. The shop is run by a
bona fide cat aficionado, so I was told. Cat figurines and
decorations embellish the outside of the shop, stairs, curb, wall and
even the power pole. Not a tittle of space is not dressed with
cute cat stuff which gave me a good ten minutes' fun just examining
them.The shop was closed the day I went to visit it. I was
surprised to find that it is only open for business three days a
week. Unless it is streaming with customers on those three days,
I don't understand how it can stay in business.
Perhaps the owner is not dependent on the shop to make a living, perhaps all he/she wants to do is to run a shop where all the cat knickknacks can be displayed to and admired by fellow cat lovers.
