波波喵餐廳&café
波波喵餐廳&café is a cat restaurant in a lane off Xinglin Road in Xitun District, Taichung, that describes itself as a place where the cats come first and coffee is only a supporting act. More than ten well-groomed, affectionate cats share the dining room, curling up on chairs and tables and happily rubbing against guests; the cafe works with a partner cattery, so some cats may be looking for new homes. Each guest orders a set meal, which buys a two-hour visit, and spending usually comes to NT$200 to NT$300 per person. Private sofa rooms suit groups, and there are massage chairs and a games console. The menu offers burgers, set lunches with a drink and panna cotta, cakes and late-night barbecue. Weekend visits should be booked through the cafe's LINE account.

森林小徑 大墩店
Taichung City0.9 mi / 1.4 km
森林小徑 大墩店 is the Dadun branch of the Forest Path restaurant group, on Darong West Street in Xitun District, Taichung. Relaxed shop cats stroll through the dining room and nap around the tables, so you can eat and pet a cat at the same time; some are sleepy, so interaction depends on luck. There is also a small play corner for young children, and dogs are welcome. The menu covers Western comfort food: risotto (the bacon and Parmesan one is popular), pasta, tomahawk pork chop, oven-baked dishes, volcano pancakes, Basque cheesecake, house-made bread and soups, plus coffee and tea. A NT$250 minimum per person applies, with no service charge, and hot meals are served through the afternoon. Tables can be booked online through inline.
逗貓空間
Taichung City0.9 mi / 1.5 km
逗貓空間 is a simple, low-cost cat play space in a lane off Wenhua Road in Xitun District, Taichung, near the Feng Chia night market. It was set up for students and families who would like to spend time with cats but cannot keep one at home, and any profit goes towards caring for stray cats. Entry costs NT$100 per person for 90 minutes. Seven or eight cats live here, several of them very affectionate, and a capsule machine sells treats that quickly draw a crowd of cats. No food or drinks are served. The air-conditioned space also has a children's play area and a sandpit in the basement, making it a popular rainy-day or summer stop for parents with young children.

Taichung City1.2 mi / 2.0 km
緬因之森Café (Maine Coon Forest Cafe) is a small, breeder-run cat cafe on Dasheng Street in Nantun District, Taichung, a few blocks from Gongyi Road. As the name suggests, the stars are big, gentle Maine Coons, joined by British Shorthairs, and the owners breed their own cats from selected bloodlines; a separate kitten room holds young cats offered for sale. Guests take off their shoes and change into slippers, and lids are provided to keep food covered from curious cats. There is a minimum spend of NT$300 per person and visits last 90 minutes. Seating is low and the room is compact, so booking ahead through Instagram or LINE is advised. The menu offers curry, tiramisu, mille crepe cake, pudding and coffee drinks. The same address previously traded as GillyGilly cat cafe.
