在日本大阪市心斋桥地区的“美国村”，有一家名为“猫咪时光”的咖啡馆。这家咖啡馆的诱人之处不是口感上佳的咖啡，而是一群不寻常的“服务员”——猫。“猫咪时光”是日本最早以猫为主题的宠物咖啡馆之一，店内共有21只猫，包括一只体型庞大的缅因猫。这些猫咪通常慵懒地躺在墙边的架子上，或者张开四肢趴在桌上。当有客人逗引它们时，它们会过来和客人玩耍。咖啡馆的楼上还有专门的房间供猫咪们休息。据介绍，“猫咪时光”按时间收费，入店每小时收费840日元，如果包含饮品则为1050日元。咖啡馆的主人表示，希望光顾的客人能够在猫咪的陪伴下得到片刻放松。

America mura is in the busy Minami district straddling the city's Chuo and Naniwa wards. The name reportedly spread after a store converted from a warehouse started selling second-hand American records and sundries from the West Coast of the United States in the 1970s.
