If you’ve never been to a cat cafe, you may not know what to expect. Of course there are beverages and cats, but there’s also the atmosphere of a coffeehouse with the added benefit of cats roaming around that you can play with without having to care for them on your own.

Cat cafes originally started in Asia where many people live in small apartments and don’t have room or money to care for a cat. As a substitute, they can visit a cat in a cat cafe. Thus they get the benefit of being around a cat without any of the drawbacks of caring or cleaning up after one.
