A cafe where you can pet and gaze at cats while you sip your latte, not a place for cats to enjoy mouse smoothies, that is.
I'm a young entrepreneur looking to start a cat cafe in the U.S. I'm very serious about this and determined to have be created by the end of 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts. I've had this idea for a while now ever since learning about them through the internet a couple of years ago.
Cat cafes are a type of small restaurant originating in Japan where patrons can eat meals and have beverages in the company of felines.
And then, once it's up and running, somebody could open a puppy cafe.
