TOT The Cat Cafe

10 ways to beat the winter blues in Toronto

Cuddle: Did you know that cuddling increases oxytocin, reduces stress and improves mood? Well, not all of us have that special someone to cling to, and asking a stranger to hold you might not be the best idea. Luckily, TOT The Cat Café hosts a cat room where you can provide the staff with ample belly rubs (the non-human ones at least). Visits are limited to 30 minutes – and although you might arrive alone and in need of a cuddle, you could end up leaving with a new friend; the cats are all available for adoption.
