They nap on the windowsills and in the glass-walled corner by the door and will come over when called, and guests may stroke them but not feed them or use camera flash. Dogs are welcome too. The menu covers brunch sets, burgers, rice dishes, pasta, baked rice, salads, fried snacks, soups, pet meals and kids' meals, with large portions and latte art coffee.

喵日子Café ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​​⁠(Meow Day Café) is a long-running cat-themed cafe on Baoding 3rd Street in the Zhonglu area of Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City. A good number of resident cats, many of them Scottish Folds plus a few short-legged Munchkins, live in the cafe and roam freely, often hopping onto chairs and tables to join guests. They are kept clean and smell lovely, though some prefer to be admired rather than handled. There is no time limit, no service charge, power outlets, fast Wi-Fi and comfy upholstered chairs, which makes it popular for working, studying and catching up with friends. The coffee is a highlight, with well-made lattes and cat latte art, and the menu also covers tea, milkshakes, soufflé pancakes, waffles, savoury pastries and pizza. Last orders are an hour before closing.
