Catmosphere Cat Cafe

Catmosphere is a cat cafe on Desker Road spread over two floors of a shophouse, with around a dozen pedigree cats and a fit-out closer to a lounge than a cafe.

The room is the point here: proper seating, cat furniture built into the design, and air purifiers running throughout, which makes a difference if you are sensitive to the usual cat-cafe fug. There are PlayStation 5 consoles free to use, so a visit can be a couple of hours rather than twenty minutes of photographs. Entry covers a session with a drink included, and there is a full-day pass for anyone planning to settle in.

It suits couples and small groups who want somewhere calm to sit, and people who like cats but not chaos — the pedigree cats here are handled and used to company. Desker Road is a short walk from Jalan Besar or Farrer Park. Book rather than turning up, particularly at weekends.
