FirstHit I think a lot of them know exactly what they're missing, and that's why they go to the cafes. You can find them all over Japan, and yes, it's largely for people (mostly women) who want, but for whatever reason can't have cats. There are dog cafes, too. I have no objections to them, but I do worry about what happens to the cats if/when the cafe decides to close. There was a really horrible case a few years ago of a dog park in Japan (similar idea as the cafe, but a park) that closed because of bankruptcy. The dogs were left behind, and for weeks they were left unattended. When it was realized the dogs were still there, some people tried to enter to save them, but they were refused entrance (I can't remember if it was the landlord that refused or the local authorities). Many of the dogs starved to death and others developed serious medical conditions because of malnutrition. I can't find the article online, but I did save a hardcopy of it, I just have no idea where I put it. |
