Cafés are public places where people can go for a snack, tea, coffee, wine, and other drinks. But have you wanted to own a cat café? Most people keep cats for various reasons, e.g., to keep away destructive animals like rats and snakes, whereas others prefer cats just as pets.
Cat cafés are themed-cafés whose major attraction is cats. People visit the cafés and pay some cash to watch and have fun with the cats. Most cafés also offer drinks like coffee and tea after the guests have made a reservation.
There are those that charge guests for the drinks and some offer drinks free of charge, as long they pay a reservation fee.
