Do not panic. We're not talking about wet cats in coffee or anything, but a trend that has long been the rage in Japan and gradually has spread throughout Europe: the coffee shops with cats included.
Cats have become the pet of fashion, largely thanks to the Internet. Rare is find someone that does not put eyes tender to any of its goodies. So the Japanese, without thinking twice, decided to take advantage of this and create the concept of the neko cafes ("neko" means "cat" in Japanese), for some time: cafes where you can go and be surrounded by them , without more, while you sip your drink. A great idea to everyone, large, small, and who like to go out with friends or do so in solitude. Who would not want to pet a cat while sipping your cappuccino chocolate, for example?
It has taken a few years, but finally we have the chance to enjoy these neko cafés without giving us a trip to Tokyo. In 2012, it opened who pioneered in Austria. This past October was the French capital that opened the first establishment of its kind, the Margaux Gandelon where pets roam felineIn Spain, Madrid has followed in his footsteps and has just opened The Gatoteca, located in the neighborhood of Lavapies (specifically in Argumosa 28).
There is still enough to reach the level of cities like Tokyo, where we find, according to the recent census, forty cafes of this type, but it is certainly a very curious initiative lovers of pets can enjoy a lot. So hopefully you do not run only on an anecdote own capitals and more begin to appear throughout the country.
