Cataholic Café

From the outside Cataholic seems like an ordinary café, but step inside and you’ll find yourself in the presence of countless cats. Sit on the floor level cushions and stroke Felix and pals while you munch on honey toast or sip the signature drinks Matcha Maew Maew (green tea with soda) and Let Me Fishing (strawberry creamcheese taiyaki with whipped cream).

Recommended doggy dishes include the cheese burger (B120) with real beef topped with grated parmesan and melting cheddar, the amazing dog sushi (rice and liver paste wrapped in seaweed, B140). Be warned, the food is so good looking, you might find it hard to tell which is for dogs and which is for people.

Chico

Tucked away on Sukhumvit Soi 53, Chico is a restaurant and cafe in one corner and home decor shop in another. The homey venue makes for a very cozy atmosphere, evoking a Japanese-style living room through its use of simple blond wood. Dishes are similarly low-key and Japanese: spaghetti with mushrooms, Omu rice, Japanese instant noodles and desserts like waffles and homemade cakes. The cats sleeping or prancing around mostly belong to the owner but others are just waiting for their owner to finish up eating. Food starts from B160, drinks from B60 and dessert from B120.

109 Sukhumvit Soi 53, 02-258-6557. BTS Thonglor. Open Wed-Mon, 9:30am-6pm

K Village

The K Village community mall allows dogs and (if you're weird) cats, in case you hadn’t noticed the many Khun Nuu ambling about clutching a Chihuahua or two. The venue also hosts dog-related activities such as a dog fashion show, dog and owner photo contests and dog charity projects. There are even a couple of pet shops that will babysit your dog while you eat or shop.

Purr Cat Café Club

Purr Cat Cafe features a cat grooming salon, cafe and gallery. Grooming starts from B450 and a signature groom for pageant competitions starts from B500. The cafe itself serves bakery treats (for us) and cat food. There are actually two zones: one for owners to bring their own cats and one where people can play with the store’s own furry friends. In the gallery, you can purchase cat-themed artworks created by the owner.
