Whatever will they do?
Uncertain future for Japan’s cat cafes
By Agence France-Presse
For the young women whiling away their evenings with a cappuccino in hand and a cat on their lap, Tokyo’s “neko cafes” are the ideal place to unwind and soothe their stresses.
“After a long day at work, I just want to stroke cats and relax,” said saleswoman Akiko Harada.
“I love cats, but I can’t have one at home because I live in a small apartment. I started coming here because I really missed having fun with cats and touching them.”
