Cat Cafe opens in NYC
http://www.ny1.com/ny/Boroughs/SubTo...tint id=42556
AUGUST 18TH, 2004 A new cafe in Midtown is hoping for a big feline following. The Meow Mix Cafe opened on Fifth Avenue Tuesday. It offers entertainment for both cats and owners and will even host pet parties. The new store has left some raving and others speechless. The cafe's signature dishes include the Upstream Dream for a finicky salmon loving feline and the Cluck-a-Doodle-Do for the cat who fancies chicken. ------ I seriously don't see how this could last. My cats freak out if they have to go outside (in the carrier, to the vet). Even if food was waiting at the other end, they'd be too scared and would just stay in the carrier. Even Stinky, who spends half the day asking "When's dinner?!?! I'm starving!". Liz |

Ours would be okay with it---especially the one that spends half the day asking when's dinner! Not that I would take them into NYC for that. But if there were such a cafe in our neighborhood, I might try it. I'm presuming, however, that the cafe has take-out--for those cats that prefer to stay at home. |

It's also being run by the company that makes Meow Mix food, so I guess this cafe is like McDonald's for cats. Seems they're trying to get into the wet food market. Even if my cats would enjoy going out, I wouldn't bring them to this place. -- Liz |

With Meow Mix it is probably a publicity stunt. Cat cafes are not a new
idea. Meow Mix likes to think they are the only ones coming up with original ideas. I remember when Meow TV came out and they were trying to make themselves look like they were the only ones that came up with the idea. Of course you don't see it anymore and I don't think their ratings were good. I watched one of the shows and it was mainly one big advertisement.
