Closing time…

Ten years ago, I wrote a blog on the sudden rise in popularity of cat cafes. (You can find the blog here: https://www.ailurophile.co.uk/?p=251)

One of the things I absolutely stipulated, and one of the things I was definitely concerned about was how well these environments would factor in so many cats needs. Anyone in a multicat household knows how difficult it can be for multiple feline personalities to coexist peacefully.

It seems that leading animal welfare organisations are now voicing the same concerns, according to this recent article: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cat-cafes-uk-rspca-welfare-protection-b2718496.html

What that means for the cat cafes in existence already, remains to be seen.
