Good luck with that, since Bara Fans are just as scary as “Yaoi Fangirls”. & “Reflections of real-life gay romance through manga”? For serious? Though Bara contains none of the “idealized romance” stuff that BLs are known for, that doesn’t make it an accurate portrayal of “real-life gay romance”. Hell, if you want a blunt description of what you’ll find in Bara, it’s a bunch of really buff, really macho men at it. & if what you’re really looking for is something that bypasses the whole stereotypical uke/seme relationship, there are certain BLs that do a good job at it. You just have to dig for them. Okay. I’ve drifted way off topic. Now all I want to do is go to that cat café… someone please hook me up with a ticket for the Cat Bus, or at least a spot on Totoro’s flying top. I’d pay you back (in acorns). |

Well I've started the thread in question (in the Manga section). Since you have an opinion about it please, by all means provide your input in it, kailegh. I'd be glad to hear more of what you might have to say.

Oh yeah-- so as not to be totally off-topic: I was familiar with the cat-cafe concept because a number of dramas I've seen have scenes set in such a place. I think it's a great idea and I wish there was one near me. I do live alone but it really wouldn't be responsible of me to get a cat since I'm away for days at a time and I couldn't give it the attention a pet deserves. I have my hands full just keeping my plants alive. |

That's pretty much it though, unless you'd want me to go into what I've already said with more detail, provide examples, etc. But okay, I'll check it out ^^
& their back >_> Oh, & my plants are DEAD. So yeah, considering how many people there are who would like to own an animal but just aren’t suited to care for it, it's weird that there aren't more cafes like that around... |

Also, a good portion of Cats 101 deals with that type of cat being featured in something famous or popular. (Can't think of a good example right now, but I do remember the portion about the English Bulldog in Dogs 101 largely being about the mascot of the University of Georgia.) I've seen the one about the cat café. I don't think it was Japanese; I'm pretty sure it was American, judging by the way its employees and clients spoke.
There are certainly no cat cafés that I've seen for real, however. My guess is that where I live, there are a lot of kids who are largely unsupervised and would give the cats a hard time. |

It would probably end up like the hilarious cat scene from Let the Right One In. |
