Read the following passage and answer all the questions.

Cat Cafés – A Global Success

Cat cafés are places where people go to enjoy their coffee while in the company of
cats. They are popular in Japan, mainly due to the fact that pets are not allowed
in most apartments there. The cafés attract a range of customers including
tourists, but most are young workers with stressful jobs who live alone. The cats

r
provide comfort and companionship. Osaka was the first Japanese city to open a

pe
cat café in 2004 and there are now over 30 in Tokyo alone. However, it wasn’t the
Japanese who came up with the idea. The first ever café of this type was set up in
Taipei, Taiwan in the late 1990s. There are now hundreds worldwide. Some have

Pa
only specific colours or breed of cats, some allow customers to adopt or buy an
animal, but they must all have a license and follow the regulations of animal
protection law.

e
Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium opened in London in 2014. It is named after Dinah,

pl
Alice’s cat, in Lewis Carroll’s book Alice in Wonderland. As a tea room it sells

m
traditional tea and cakes, but like all cat cafés, customers are charged an
additional fee for their time in ‘cat company’. There are eleven cats, all of which
Sa
were donated by people moving abroad who couldn’t take pets with them.
However, setting up was not simple for owner, Lauren Pears, as health and safety
laws made it costly and time-consuming. It appears the effort has been
worthwhile. Unlike other cat cafés, customers here must make a reservation and it
ns
is booked up for months in advance. Lauren thinks too many customers are
stressful for the cats. She also has several rules: stroking and playing are
permitted, but picking up is not. The welfare of the cats is her highest priority.
io

The cat café craze shows little sign of slowing down, despite the reluctance of
at

many authorities to mix animals and food preparation. In the USA, where it is
forbidden to mix the two, café owners have managed to solve the problem by
in

dividing the premises into two sections, one room for coffee and the other for cats.
