The Cat Street Cafe & Grooming Phra Samut Chedi, Samut Prakan
The Cat Street Cafe & Grooming is a small roadside shophouse cafe in Nai Khlong Bang Pla Kot, Phra Samut Chedi, on the west bank of the river in Samut Prakan. Inside, a friendly group of cats of several breeds, including a famously calm ginger and an affectionate blue-eyed cat, greet visitors and readily come over for lickable treats, which are sold at the counter. There is no entry fee; guests simply order from a menu of Thai tea, coffee and other drinks, plus pizza, toast and snacks at modest prices. The room is kept clean and free of litter smells, and the owners describe it as a space for everyone, children included. As the name says, the shop also offers cat grooming, and there is parking on site.
