PUB ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌⁠Neko and Highlight is a small evening pub on the ground floor of the Morio Building in Koenji-kita, Suginami, a short walk from the north exit of JR Koenji Station. Its concept is a quiet drink in the company of the pub's resident cats, three at last report, which are kept under a registered animal exhibition licence. The cats are there to be watched rather than handled, and touching them is not allowed. The pub has about eight seats, mostly at the counter, a small seat charge and smoking seats. Solo guests and people with no particular interest in cats are welcome. It usually opens from 6 PM to 10 PM and closes Monday to Wednesday, but the schedule is irregular, so each day's opening is announced on the pub's website and Instagram.
