🙀 Cat Cafés 😻
Do you love cats and coffee?
Then you should visit a cat café!
What exactly is a cat café, you may ask? It is just what it sounds like. A cute, fun café for visitors to come play with cats while enjoying a caffeinated beverage and some pastries. The first cat café to ever open in the world was Cat Flower Garden in Taipei, Taiwan in 1998. However, it was in Japan that the concept of cat cafés exploded in popularity. From there, cat cafés began opening up in Europe, and in 2014 they landed in North America.
Where do the cats at these cafés come from? Cat cafés often partner with local rescues and shelters to provide a home for some of the cats in their care with the goal of getting them adopted. That's right, you can adopt a cat at a cat café! This is a great way to get cats adopted. Cats become more socialized to humans in this environment which makes it much easier for them to get adopted. Humans, on the other hand, can enjoy play time with the cats and observe how the cats interact with them before bringing them home. Even if you are not in a position to adopt a cat, visiting a cat café can be a great way to relax. Not to be overlooked are the mental and physical health benefits cats can provide for us. Cats have been known to reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, and even lower blood pressure. So why not vist a cat café today and enjoy some feline company while you sip on some coffee ☕️ ?
