Located within the AEON Mall Morioka Minami complex's 2nd floor PETEMO section, Cat Lounge nonnon's Morioka location brings the brand's "cast"-based philosophy to Iwate's shopping audience. The mall integration makes the venue highly accessible, yet the nonnon brand maintains its commitment to cat-first operations and "comfortable distance" interactions. Eight individual "cast" cats showcase remarkable diversity: Siberian Mekabe, Scottish Fold Ginger, Siberian Momiji, Scottish Fold Hotate, Scottish Fold Haku, Ragamuffin Maruko, British Shorthair Asari, and Ragdoll Okayuu. The Morioka location reflected in reviews as genuinely welcoming to visitors from all backgrounds—international visitors praised the warm, non-discriminatory staff and relaxing atmosphere. The facility emphasizes comprehensive health protocols: thorough pre-admission veterinary screening, professional grooming, regular health diagnostics, and intentional cat rotation/retirement to prevent burnout and stress.
Reviewers highlighted the staff's dedication to animal welfare, with consistent praise for cleanliness and manageable capacity. Multiple visitors noted that afternoon visits often captured "naptime" scenes (cats resting comfortably), while morning/midday sometimes brought livelier interactions. One Australian visitor specifically commended the warm atmosphere and adorable personalities, describing the experience as deeply relaxing for studying/unwinding. One dedicated reviewer with personal pets appreciated the sophisticated animal care costs consideration, noting that facility maintenance, food, treats, medical care, and staff expertise justify the pricing model. The Morioka location drew particular praise for affordable short visits (¥220 for 10 minutes) and genuine cat interaction available without mandatory expensive treat purchases.
