Origin of Neko Cafe
The world's first “cafe with cats” opened in Taiwan in Taipei City in 1998. Neko Café became famous in Japan and began to attract many tourists. In Japan, the first Cat Café opened in Osaka in 2004.
Like Cats, Cat Cafés are quite popular in Japan. To improve marketing and earnings, some take advantage of the cat cafe to sell souvenirs and build a complete cat store.
The first Cat Café was created by Norimasa Hanada in 2005. Over time this business expanded and by the year 2010 more than 100 Cat Café had appeared in Japan. Currently in Tokyo alone, there are more than 40 Neko Café.
Cafés with cats have strict rules to ensure the cleanliness and welfare of the animals. They need to ensure that cats are not disturbed by excessive or unwanted attention, such as from young children or when they sleep. Some cafe with cats encourages the adoption of animals.
