A while back, we made our trip to JB. One of things we are looking out for was for kid-friendly pets cafe because my kids really loved animals. Based on my humble research, Chunky Cat Cafe was the only pet cafe located within a shopping mall. Fortunately for us, this cafe was right smack beside our hotel. (We happened to stay at Holiday Inn.) So, we managed to save the Grab fees too.
We got our tickets from Klook. You could probably get your tickets on the spot (with a lot more different package option). But if you want to be cash-free and accumulate credit card points and also use vouchers, the deal was better on Klook. The kitties were so clean and well kept.
Generally, the kittens were also very gentle (despite how pushy my littlest one could be). The wilder ones had collars with bells, so I made sure our girl avoided them. She is not rough per-say but we were scared she could not manage her strength. Our only initial problem was that the felines were so reserved. After 15 mins in getting all the pets he wanted, my older one got bored.
So I thought to get them some beverage/ ice cream. It was only then when I noticed they sold cat tidbits (RM5 each). It is quite a game changer. The cats flocked towards them and they started to enjoy the close proximity with the cats. Also, it helped the cats to start trusting these shorter humans. Tip: Please spend on the cat food! These cats are really realistic. No food, No honey!
We ended up buying 2 servings for each kid. The kids had lots of fun (so did I) and I also managed to capture a lot of good photos (to send to the relatives). Overall damage is less than S$100 for sure. I bought drinks and ice-cream too! The kids didn't stay longer than an hour because they were slightly hungry for their late lunch. I don't think I could have stayed the whole day with the kids.
For the hotel, we came in a huge group so we took the suite at Holiday Inn. I think it could stay up to 5 adults. It was insanely spacious and the kids enjoyed just jumping around. Most importantly, it was super convenient to everything. We barely even needed to move out via Grab. The only problem was that the swimming pool was not very kids-friendly. But hey, we came prepared and brought our own floats. HAHAH
