In Japan, they have cat cafes. No they don't serve cats, neither as entrees nor as customers but as friendly companions.

CAT CAFE CALICO
A purrfect place for fanciers of felines
By FELICITY HUGHES
Special to The Japan Times
The 20th of this month marks the first anniversary of Cat Cafe Calico's opening to the public.
A few of the 17 pedigree feline stars of Cat Cafe Calico — from Russian Blues to Persians — who pull in feline fanciers day after day to commune with their elusive personalities. They include this dozy beauty (top) in the arms of a cafe staffer, the imperious Chiyoko looking down from on high (above) and one of their number asleep in a cooking pot (below). And then there's these moggies so delighting cafe regular Kaori Sato (bottom). FELICITY HUGHES PHOTOS
The cafe's 34-year-old owner Takafumi Fukui, having managed to hit on a revolutionary yet simple idea at just the right time, has good reason to celebrate. His cafe is now so popular that on weekends customers have to make reservations in advance if they want to visit. They come in droves to spend time with the cafe's coterie of 17 full-grown felines and kittens — and they pay ¥800 an hour for the privilege.
