SCOTTISH FOLD CATS AND NEKO CAFES ARE BIG IN JAPAN: MY KITTY ON FACEBOOK.

Dear Basil Farrow (my baby son),

I miss you. It’s hard not to; you are big in Japan! Everywhere I go, I see foldy ears: there are Scottish Fold calendars, stickers… I even found a photo book starring a cream-colored kitten like you. (But this imposter isn’t nearly as – how shall we put it – confectious as you are.)

Big Scottish Fold cat face with fur and whiskers. Macro photo of cute teddy bear pet kitten, round and furry.

Mommy wishes she were with you, but she needs to work to pay for your byproduct-free organic cat food. She’s been photographing cat cafes for her upcoming book on theme restaurants. Oh, don’t be jealous – these Nihon-nekos don’t look like squishy teddy bears. They tense up when you approach; you certainly can’t put a Goth Loli bonnet or top hat on their heads!

Cute Scottish Fold pet cat Basil Farrow, coupari rare breed with foldy ears, big cat paw, round face and head.

Your daddy misses you too, so he made you a Facebook profile. Readers, you must befriend our son! Search for “Basil Farrow” or click here to add him.

Mommy recently added a Blog Networks application… so readers, you can add La Carmina through that too. Don’t forget about her Facebook Group and Writer Page.

Be a good cat and listen to your grandparents! Big fuzzy kiss,
–Mommy

      There are so many crazy restaurants! Monsters attacking, robot and temple girl cafes… what a fun project.

      More info here: https://www.lacarmina.com/tokyorestaurants.php

      It will be released by Mark Batty Publisher, which is distributed by Thames and Hudson. You’ll be able to find it on Amazon (my first book is on there too) and major bookstores in English-language countries.
