[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2283349, member: 401801"] Haha, yeah... That would be a recipe for disaster indeed. No, it's like a lunchroom (kitchen off-limits for the cats), where there's a couple of really tight-knit cats just lounging around the people who visit. Wouldn't work with just any kind of cats, so they are selected for their ability to cope with people going in and out, as well as their "getting along with other kitties" attitude. Our cats would never be suitable for something like that, but the owners usually have a knack of getting just the right cats. :) Monique has become a friend, she's herding 12 fabulous cats at The Coffee Cat in Almere : [URL]https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rW-RfAD-9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link[/URL] has a few of her beauties. And they all have had me kissing their faces and giving headbumps. :) ... A lot of them rescues, a bunch disabled (three legs, kidney failure, deaf etc). It's their forever home where they get all the attention they want. And if they feel like it's enough, they can withdraw to the cat room that's off limits to the guests. I've heard of cafe's in Asia where the cats are sedated, but we don't do that here. Heck, I doubt it'd even be legal, animal abuse and all. We've been to cat café's all over the Netherlands, and one in Aachen, Germany. Hoping to visit one in Liège, Belgium in September.
