From the moment I knew I was visiting Budapest with my family, I decided to visit the Cat Café Budapest, especially as we love cats (and have 2 at home.)
We planned an evening visit, and we arrived at around 7 PM here. We loved this experience so in this article I am sharing with you the ultimate guide to visiting Cat Café Budapest, including tips and things to know before going to a cat cafe.
It was our first visit to a cat cafe, so a new experience for us!
As mentioned, we have cats (I had cats almost all my life), so it was not like we did not know how to behave around them.
We were not expecting a place where you sit at a table and cats jump in your arms, wanting to be petted – or play on the ground with you.
Also, ALL cats are beautiful. This is something to keep in mind. They have beautiful souls, not just gorgeous fur.
They are beings – so make sure to respect their wishes. They will show you if they want to be petted or not. You can admire them – but some may not like to be touched when you want to do that.
We liked that close to the entrance there is a place presenting some of the cats that can be seen here.
