This article is a resident cat profile based on what I heard at Pension Atca. the cat’s personality, physical condition, and frequency of customer service will change, so prioritize the cat’s current condition and accommodation information.
“Dan”, who lives in Chiba Prefecture Tateyama’s Pension Atca, is a boy with a large body and handsome features, but also a delicate and fearful side.
Dan’s basic profile
| Item | Contents |
|---|---|
| Name | Dan |
| Gender | Boy |
| Born | 2015 |
| Type | Norwegian Forest Cat and Munchkin mix |
| Origin of the name | Because he looked like a baron |
| Characteristics | Large body, slightly short legs, sleeping on back |
Scared of being called “Smikkoi handsome”
Dan is one of the largest of the Atca cats, and his long fur and dignified appearance are impressive. On the other hand, when he was a kitten, he was very wary and would often hide in the corner of the room when there were visitors, which is why he was nicknamed “Sumikkoi Handsome”.
Even now, I am not good at sudden loud noises. If you see him, don’t chase him, stay low and wait quietly, it will be easier to close the distance from Dan’s side.
Once you get used to it, she may even sleep with you.
As she lives with the guests, she gradually gets used to them, and if the mood suits her, she may even sleep with them in the guest room. The figure that occupies a corner of the bed with a large body is a presence unique to Dan.
However, co-sleeping is not guaranteed as a service. There may be days when you can’t meet up with someone depending on their health or mood, so if they refuse to interact with you, respect their wishes.
Relationship with cat friends
He showed his side as a companion to Sangchu, who came later, and became a senior cat who taught him how to spend time with other cats. If you chase after a cat, it may keep its distance, so observing the relationships between cats is also a fun part of staying at Atca.
Key points when interacting with Dan
- Avoid sudden sounds and loud movements
- Do not reach when hidden
- Give yourself a rest while sleeping or eating.
- Even if the cat visits a guest room, do not confine it; allow it to leave freely.
- If you receive current guidance regarding your physical condition from the inn, be sure to follow it.
Choosing not to approach scary cats
Dan’s record that “sometimes we sleep together after we get used to it” does not mean that guests who are meeting for the first time should get close to each other. Move to a corner, lower your body, or if it doesn’t move when it looks at you, clear a path and escape route.
| Situation | Guest behavior |
|---|---|
| Stay in the corner of the room | Don’t look into it or reach out |
| Visits a guest room | Check how to handle the door and let the cat leave; do not confine it |
| Rest in bed | Be careful about turning over and carrying your belongings, and don’t ask for physical contact |
| Hide with loud noises | Reduce sounds and movements without calling back |
