How It Happens
The reviews tell a consistent story: cats come on their own. No luring, no calling. As evening falls, a cat wanders into your room, settles on your lap, and eventually migrates to your futon. By morning, it's still there.
3 guests specifically described "a friendly cat entering the futon in nature and sleeping together." This happens more often in tents and the Jyubako, where you're closer to the cats' territory.
Improving Your Chances
No guarantees, but the data suggests:
- Choose a tent or Jyubako — cats visit even secluded forest tents (6 mentions)
- Be quiet in the evening — cats avoid loud environments
- Leave your door slightly open — 3 tent guests report doing this
- Don't chase — let the cat choose you
Morning After

The cat chose you. That's what makes it healing.
