Cat cafes are special psychology clinics that
contain only cats! The main attraction of these places is cats and customers
are usually charged at an hourly basis.
So what makes these establishments popular? In
places like Japan and Taiwan (where the concept took place in 1998) living apartment
areas tend to be small and thus people may find it hard to house a pet with
them. A place specially dedicated to pets are thus quiet convenient.
Cats are naturally lonely animals; they can look
after themselves and are easier to feed than dogs. Not to mention their quietness.
All these cafes have to strictly comply with animal welfare and protection laws
as applicable to their home countries. They are protected from over attention and
abuse by young children and cats are scientifically accommodated based on
available floor areas. They are usually adopted from a young age so that they
don’t exhibit shy or aggressive behavior towards the patrons.
Some cat cafes in Japan specially featuring black
cats, fat cats, rare breed cats, ex-stray cats etc. The latter also keeps the
population of stray cats in check.
But why only cats are preferred? From companionship
to heart health, there are certain health benefits to humans that can only be completed
by petting a cat!
It is believed that the temple of Bastet (cat god)
of ancient Egypt may have been a cat cafe complete with a large idol of Bastet
and, since it is ancient Egypt, the temple itself built out of gigantic proportions;
because why the hell not? It is better to spend extravagantly on something you
really adore than something you don’t care.
Enjoy reading and be open to the things that world has to offer.
