00:00 Animal Cafe in Tokyo called Harry Cafe where you can hold baby hedgehogs. I love
00:04 these animal cafes. They're not only giving you your daily caffeine fix, but
00:08 they're giving you your daily dose of cuteness. Harry, a play on the Japanese
00:11 word for needle, is part coffee shop and part pet store, offering you the
00:15 opportunity to feed or just cuddle with these super cute hedgehogs. Animal cafes
00:19 have actually been a trend in Tokyo for a while, offering you an ability to cuddle
00:22 and hang and drink with some of the cutest animals around, like bunnies,
00:27 puppies, or even beautifully colored birds. And this odd choice, snakes. And now
00:32 we're seeing this trend here in the US too. In 2014, Cat Town Cafe in Oakland,
00:36 California became the US's first coffee shop meets pet adoption center, where you
00:41 can grab a cup of joe and then play with cuddly kitties. Then there's Crumbs and
00:44 Whiskers from Washington DC, which combines coffee and hanging out with
00:47 shelter cats. That's also recently found a home in Los Angeles. And then there's a
00:51 dog cafe, also in LA, where you can sit, sip, and play with adoptable and
00:55 fosterable pooches. So what kind of animal cafe would you want to hang out
00:58 at? Let us know in the comments below. For more trends like these, just go to
