The cats at COORIKUYA plus Kichijoji are celebrated for their exceptional friendliness and people-oriented nature, actively approaching visitors upon entry with genuine enthusiasm. The diverse group of approximately 20 cats includes Scottish Fold, American Shorthair, British Shorthair, and Bengal breeds, ensuring visual variety and diverse personalities. These playful, affectionate feline companions are highly responsive to interactive toys—reviewers note that essentially any toy offered will capture the interest of at least one cat, making play sessions consistently successful and entertaining. The variety among the resident cats means different visitors find compatible companions: some cats are naturally more outgoing and seek constant interaction, while others prefer quieter observation before warming up to guests. Many cats display remarkable willingness to engage in lap-sitting and close physical contact. The cats have distinct personality quirks and behaviors that make simple observation endlessly entertaining and therapeutic.
