Cat cafes are places where you can enjoy delicious coffee or tea, cake, or ice cream, all in the company of real cats who live there permanently. In addition to the usual décor, the cafe features numerous pet beds, shelves, walkways, and toy stations.
Are cat cafes child-friendly?
Cat cafes are undoubtedly a fantastic source of entertainment for furry children. So, are they child-friendly? Not entirely! Cat cafes are primarily cat-friendly, but any children who can abide by their rules will surely have an unforgettable time there.
What are the rules at cat cafes?
First of all, each cat café has its own rules, which very specifically outline how to behave around the furry residents. Unfortunately, small children won't be allowed in some cafés, as many have an age limit. This can be 10 or even 13. All rules are dictated by the need to provide the cats with a calm and safe environment. The café is, quite simply, their home!
Another rule is respect for the animal. We can't force cats to play or be carried, but if the animal is interested, you can pet it or play with the numerous toys available on site.
Other rules that apply to cat cafes concern cat safety and will be specific to each location, such as how to leave the premises to avoid accidentally letting the animals out.
Is it worth going to a cat cafe with your child?
Absolutely! It's a very relaxing and enjoyable way to spend time. Children, especially those without their own pets, will be delighted. The many cats simultaneously climbing the interesting structures hanging on the walls is an incredible sight. A visit to such a place will also teach children patience and respect for animals. They'll take plenty of sweet photos with their favorite cats and can also buy cat souvenirs featuring the café's inhabitants.
Many of the establishments also run interesting animal-related events, such as fundraising drives for shelters or finding permanent homes for homeless kittens. Some of the cats at the café are up for adoption, so if your child is looking for a pet, they might find a new friend at the cat café.
