Why are Animal Cafes so Popular?
Many individuals frequent cat cafes because they appreciate the cats there but are unable to keep pets at home due to health issues, the cost, landlord restrictions, or a lack of space, the latter of which is a particular issue in Asian cities.
Some customers may also be potential cat owners who wish to determine whether the animals are right for them.

What Customers Say…
“Very nice environment! The dogs are so close to us and they are so obedient. We were lucky to have the dog as our companion most of our meal time. The kids were so excited with the dog roaming around and able to pat them freely. Food and drinks are on the high side but for such a different environment, I personally find it worth it. And the food taste good. We like the teriyaki chicken with Japanese rice. Must book early to get indoor seats.” – Den An Qi
