A cat café or "catfé" is just like a café with cats wandering around. Grab a coffee from home or next door, bring your laptop and use the Wi-Fi, meet up with friends, and hang out with the kitties. Cuddle them. Be entertained by them. Maybe even get a kitty kiss or two. Participate in a cat-hosted event. And there's no obligation to take the relationship any further… unless, of course, both parties consent, in which case, Tiny Lion will be happy to make an adoption happen!
