Did you know that there are cafes in Japan that you can
visit where you pay to sip tea and pet cats??? They are called Cat cafes and
they are extremely popular.
The first cat café opened in Taiwan in 1998. In Japan the
first cat café opened in 2004. Now there are over 30 different cat cafes in
Japan.
Some of the cafes cater to a certain type of cat like black cats or fat
cats. The popularity of these café’s is due to most apartments
forbidding animals, people working long days and not having time for their own
animals. People tend to get very lonely so they will head over the cat cafes
for a little 4 legged interactions.
All cafes must obtain a license and comply with strict
requirements under the Animal Treatment/Protection laws. The cat cafes adhere
to strict guidelines regarding cleanliness and the treatment of their cats.
They have rules like letting the cats approach you, no children, and not
disturbing the cats while sleeping.
Coming soon near you?
