40 Pedigree Cats Join You for Coffee at Guangzhou Cafe

If you’ve ever wanted to sip coffee while being gently pawed by a cat worth more than your laptop, Guangzhou’s More than Meow cafe delivers. This isn’t your average animal café — it’s a carefully managed space where 40 purebred, pedigreed show cats, many actively competing, mingle with visitors. For cat lovers and photographers alike, it offers the rare chance to interact closely with some of the most valuable felines in China.

More than Meow houses around 40 high-value show cats, most of them pedigreed and actively competing, with individual values starting at 50,000 RMB (about $7,000) and award-winners reaching up to 100,000 RMB (about $14,000). These aren’t just pets — they’re CFA-registered show cats with regular health care and grooming schedules.

What Makes These Cats So Special?

The cats at More than Meow are not your neighborhood strays or rescue tabbies. Each is a pedigreed purebred with CFA (Cat Fanciers’ Association) certification. Many are active or retired show cats, groomed for competition. Their value starts around 50,000 RMB and can soar to 100,000 RMB or more for award winners. These cats receive bi-weekly baths and routine vaccinations, ensuring they’re not only beautiful but also healthy and comfortable around people.

A Café Designed for Cats and Humans

The café itself is styled as a cozy, upscale space with feline-themed décor that both celebrates and accommodates its furry residents. Cat-loving visitors often rave about the atmosphere, saying the presence of these gentle, often sleepy cats brings a unique liveliness to the environment. Even the coffee here gets the cat treatment — latte art often features kitty faces, adding a playful touch to your cup.

For the Cat Obsessed: What to Expect

Visitors can enjoy up-close, hands-on interactions with the cats in a clean, safe environment. The café attracts a mix of self-described “cat addicts” and photography enthusiasts eager to capture candid moments with the animals. While the café is designed for human-cat interaction, guests are asked not to bring along their own pets to maintain a calm and controlled setting for the resident felines.
