During Cooper's annual broadcast with friend Andy Cohen, the 46-year-old musician made a brief appearance, video-calling in from a Japanese establishment that was packed with felines.
As Mayer's video feed came in showing him surrounded by cats, Cooper launched into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"John, this doesn't look sanitary," Cohen, 55, said, to which Mayer responded: "You know what, I believe it passes all health codes, I think it's just fine."

Cohen asked Mayer to further elaborate on his experience at the bar. "Talk to me about this bar," he asked. "You are in the bar, and there are cats everywhere. They are licking each other."
"There are cats," Mayer clarified sarcastically. "This is a place you can come, enjoy a drink or two and talk to cats. It's a cat bar. I mean, I don't know how much more clear I can be about the objective of this place."
