That name probably sounded cuter in their head.
At first glance, “Naughty Cat Café” might sound like a quirky and playful spot to grab a coffee and hang out with some mischievous felines. But it seems the name gave off an entirely different vibe to passersby—so much so that the owners had to put up a sign clarifying, “Not a strip club.” The fact that they needed this sign at all says a lot about how quickly names can be misinterpreted when branding goes just a little off track.
It’s easy to imagine how someone unfamiliar with the cat café concept might assume something more adult is happening inside. The bold lettering, the masked cat graphic, and the word “naughty” all play into that confusion. While the intent was likely innocent and fun, this is a classic case of branding gone unintentionally wrong—proving that sometimes, even the best intentions can lead to a laughably awkward outcome.
