Top Ten Deadly Sins Of Cat Cafes

Speaking of a cat cafe, do you think of this picture:

Cat Cafe

You can see there, many lazy and cute cats, from the hanging decorations on the wall to the coffee garland in the cup, they all look like cats. You sit there leisurely, and therefore the cats come to pester you from time to time.

It is simply a place to heal the soul.

It's a pity that cat cafes are cluttered with chaos. They are as beautiful as we imagined, and many of them have various problems.

Why is cat cafe bad?

To write this topic, the son went to many cat cafes and communicated with some cat friends, and summed up the top ten common problems of "bad" cat cafes.

 1. Cats are overworked and sleep-deprived for a long time.

Cats spend 2/3 of their time sleeping every day (at least about 16 hours).

But most of the guests want to interact with the cat and don't care if it is sleeping.

You have to touch, hug, and play, or else it's for nothing?

Furthermore, the noisy sounds in the cafe and the strangers coming and going make it impossible for the cats to sleep.

The timid cat simply hid in the corner for a long time.

For a long time, it made the poor cat sleep deprived, tired of coping, and stressed.

So sometimes, we will see cats in cafes looking listless.

No reaction to our interaction, numb.

Solving this problem is also simple:

Set up a rest area for cats, cats can come and go freely, and blue stars are forbidden to enter.

Those who don't want to "pick up" go to rest, and those who want to "pick up", come out by themselves.

 2. The guests feed randomly.

Many cat cafes offer paid cat feeding programs.

A bowl of chicken breast is 10 yuan, and a box of canned food is 20 yuan. A good abacus.

There is even smarter: the cat is full, and may not be interested in the food the guest feeds, so just be hungry.

In this way, cats with sturdy relatives always eat a lot, and cats that are timid and unloved are often hungry.

Some guests feed their own food. Beef jerky and cakes are good, but the chocolates dare to feed them.

3. Do not guide and restrain guests.

Most guests will not treat cats maliciously.

However, many guests have never raised cats, do not understand cats, and come here just to "relieve cravings".

They don’t know how to get along with cats.

The son saw a little girl walking around forcibly carrying a cat, as excited as a cat eating catnip.

And the cat in her hand looked unlovable.

Playing with funny cat sticks is no different from hitting cats.

The flash is also turned on when taking pictures.

Responsible stores will place various reminders, waiters will also supervise guests at any time, and bear children may be directly prohibited from entering.

4. Does not control the number of cats and the number of people.

Opening the door to welcome guests naturally has costs, and the rent and labor are the bulk of the cost.

There are more cats more attractive, some shops are small but squeezed into a dozen or dozens of cats.

And some shops are booming, crowded, and very noisy.

How do cats live in such an environment?

5. Guests entering the door will not be disinfected, and cats will not be vaccinated.

A guest in the dust, or a cat living in the shop, which one has more bacteria?

It's so difficult to let guests wash their hands when they enter the door and bring a shoe cover.

There are so many cats in the shop, have they all been vaccinated?

What to do if an infectious disease breaks out?

Two- or three-month-old kittens, don't let them run around in the store, they can't stand the toss.

Do cat cafes smell?

6. Sanitation is difficult to guarantee.

There are more cats, more cat hair, and more cat feces.

Of course, bosses who pass the IQ will not let shit smell in their store.

But cat hair is a headache. The five cats in the son's house have to be cleaned twice a day, let alone more than a dozen cats?

In some stores, there is a layer of cat hair on tables and chairs, and there is dust.

Don’t let the cat go to the kitchen and the bar, and don’t always let the cat jump on the guest’s table to grab food.

7. The store environment is not suitable for cats.

Some stores do not get in the sun all year round, are not ventilated all year round, and the light is dim all day long.

In such an environment, the number of bacteria can be imagined.

There is no need to say more about the quality of life of cats.

 8. The doors are not tight and the windows are not secure.

The door was not closed tightly, and the cat ran out, was lost, or was hit by a car.

Scratched the screen window and ran away.

There are too many such things.

The windows are closed tightly to remind guests not to open them, it is not difficult.

It doesn't hurt to install a double door. At the very least, a sign saying "Close the door at your fingertips to prevent cats from running out" at the door, okay?

 9. Sick cats are not isolated

There are sick cats in the cafe. The son has seen several cats, some with mild ringworm, and some with inflammation of the eyes that keep crying.

They hide in the corner sullenly, without any isolation.

Except for the guests who want to tease it, no one cares about it.

The guest touched its opaque hair, looked at its wilted look, and walked away disappointedly as if the cat had caused himself a loss.

 10. Only treat cats as money-making tools

To be honest, I have been to so many cat cafes, and the above 9 questions are completely avoided, which are very rare.

After all, how difficult it is to run a store is hard for us bystanders to understand. It may be inexperienced, may be improving, it doesn't hurt to give it a chance.

This alone is unforgivable.

The word "cat" in the cafe is the responsibility of life. Since you have assumed this name, please take this responsibility.

She looks like pussycats on the face and deceives guests who don’t understand pussycats, but the starting point is unprintable.

Let a dozen unneutered cats stay together day and night, wear nail covers, and even perform finger-severing operations. In contrast, the first 9 are nothing short of a gentle breeze.

Using cats to make money as a tool reminds the son of the widely criticized circus. It's a hell of animals.

 Sum up a few sentences
