Cat's Living

Cats Living Cat Café is a serene feline retreat located near Hapjeong metro station (Lines 2 & 6) and Hongik University in Seoul’s bustling Hongdae shopping district, offering a peaceful escape from the crowds for cat enthusiasts. This clean and nicely decorated café welcomes guests with an entrance fee of 8,000 won (about $7 USD), which includes a complimentary drink—such as a refreshing lemonade—served by pleasant but reserved staff. Housing approximately 12 resident cats, the café is renowned for its incredibly sociable felines, with one particularly affectionate cat famously leaping into visitors’ laps for a purring cuddle, providing a rare and soul-soothing experience. While a subtle hint of cat urine odor may be noticeable, the quiet, intimate atmosphere—often shared with just a few other patrons, like the two young ladies mentioned—enhances its appeal as a tranquil haven. Open to those seeking a break from Seoul’s vibrant chaos, Cats Living Cat Café stands out for its cuddly cats and relaxing vibe in the heart of Hongdae.
