Kurumi: A Kitten’s Life in Tokyo’s Cat Cafés | Part 3 | SLICE EARTH · 14:30 · Video: SLICE Earth · Watch at the source

In short: In Tokyo, hygiene regulations often prevent cats from living in city apartments. This video explores the unique world of cat cafés, where animals like three-month-old Kurumi find a sanctuary away from the city's restrictions.

The film provides a look into the Happy Neko Cafe, an indoor environment where cats inhabit a space largely independent of human control. It follows the daily life of Kurumi, a three-month-old kitten, as she interacts with a diverse group of residents, including Siamese King Natsu, Persian cats, and tabbies.

These cafés represent a specific way of life in Tokyo, offering a space where feline instincts are preserved and cats can receive affection despite being banned from most local homes.
