Neko Cafe

In recent years across Japan a lot of cat cafes have started opening up. Last month Matsumoto saw it's first Cat Cafe open. I went there recently.
The idea is pretty simple. It's a cafe full of cats and for a small fee you can play with cats and have them sit on you while you drink your coffee. If you can't have a pet in your building or don't want the responsibility of looking after a cat full time then you can visit one at the cat cafe. It was a lovely place with a nice atmosphere. I wonder if the concept will become popular back in England. My parents have a ginger cat called Billy who is a vicious sociopath who attacks people without warning and for no reason. And yet he recieves Christmas presents from some of our neighbours. The economic potential for a cat cafe full of cute, friendly and well behaved cats surely can't be underestimated.
