I am late today while writing an entry today, I might be busy last night huh. Anyway, I will write about... a cat cafe. I had found some dog's cafes, however cat's was the first time.
今日は日記を書くのが遅いです。昨日が忙しかったかな。さて、何を書こうかと言うと、猫カフェです。ドッグカフェは何度か見たことありましたが、猫のは初めてでした。

How about the cat cafe? Is there any cat cafe around your home or office?
猫カフェってどうですか？　お宅の周りや仕事場の近くにありますか？

My daughter and I found the cat cafe at Kawaramachi in Kyoto the other day.
娘と私は、先日京都河原町で猫カフェを見つけました

To be honest I am not good/familiar with cats and dogs although they are often attracting not only others but also me.
正直、私は犬猫が他の人だけでなく僕にも魅力的な時が多いんですが、僕は得意じゃないんです。

My daughter also seems interested in cats and dogs but she also hesitate to touch them.
娘も同じく、興味はあるようですが、触りたがりません。

She looked the cats inside the cafe closely, I suggested that we would go inside, however, she replied "No.". ... It meant to be.
カフェの中の猫をじっと見ていました、入ろうかと言いましたが、返事は「いい」、仕方ない。

The cafe might be a relaxing place for many people although we gave up trying.
僕らはやめましたが、沢山の人に癒しの場であろうとおもいました。

  • How about the cat cafe?

  • So, how was the cat cafe? ---As a translation for どうですか, I think 'how about~?' would be better in situations where you are making a suggestion. For example (two people talking): A: What should we have for dinner tonight? B: How about Chinese?; A: Where should we go next year? B: How about New York? ---Of course, there are other situations that you can use 'how about', but I think 'how was~?' is better in this case. :)

I saw a dog cafe in Yamashina. I didn't go in, though. hehe (＾∇＾)

I remember that someone, you?:), once corrected the same phrase before. I tend to add "about" to "how". なんとなく、aboutを付けてしまいます

However, I may understand and I will keep the rule from now one. Thank you as usual. :)

Thank you. I wanted to say that many people like them, so "attractive" was good. Thank you, your explanation helped me to understand what was best and another phrases. :)

A cat cafe :O This sounds wonderful!! I have never heard of this (or dog cafes). Does it mean you drink tea or coffee, while cats walk freely inside the building?

Feb 1, 2012 08:55 shuichi
Yes, it seemed to be like that. :)
