There are several lazy and lovely cats, from the ornaments on the wall to the coffee in the cup, they all look like cats. You sit there leisurely, and the cat comes to tease you from time to time.
This is a place to heal the soul.
It's a pity that cats and coffee are chaotic, some are as beautiful as we thought, and many have various problems.
In order to write this theme, Gongzi went to many cat cafes and chatted with some cat friends, summing up the common problems of ten "bad" cat cafes.
1. The cat is overworked for a long time and lacks sleep.
Cats need to spend two-thirds of their time sleeping every day (at least 16 hours).
But most guests want to have some interaction with the cat and don't care if it is sleeping.
You must touch, hug and play, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Moreover, the noisy sound in the cafe and the strangers coming and going keep the cat awake.
The timid cat simply hid in the corner for a long time.
For a long time, the poor cat didn't get enough sleep and was tired of coping, Alexander.
So sometimes, we will see the cat in the cafe look listless.
No response to our interaction, numb.
Solving this problem is also very simple:
Open the rest area for cats, cats are free to enter and leave, and blue stars are forbidden to enter.
Those who don't want to "receive guests" go to rest, and those who want to "receive guests" come out.
2. The guests eat indiscriminately.
Many cat cafes offer paid cat feeding programs.
A bowl of chicken breast 10 yuan, a box of canned meat 20 yuan. Good abacus.
There is something smarter: the cat is full and may not be interested in the food fed by the guests, so just be hungry.
In this way, cats with strong relatives always eat more, and cats with timid relatives often go hungry.
There are also guests who feed themselves, beef jerky and cake are good, and chocolate TA people dare to feed them.
3. Do not guide and restrain guests.
Most guests don't treat cats maliciously.
But many guests have never owned a cat, and they don't know anything about cats, just to "satisfy their own desires."
TA people don't know how to get along with cats.
The son once saw a little girl forcibly running around with a cat, as excited as a cat that ate catnip.
And the cat in her hand, a life without love.
Playing with a cat stick is no different from hitting a cat.
Take pictures and turn on the flash.
Responsible stores will post various tips, waiters will supervise guests at any time, and Xiong Haizi may be banned directly.
4. Don't control the number and quantity of cats.
Opening the door to welcome guests naturally requires high costs, rent and labor.
Cats are more attractive, and some shops are small but crowded with dozens of cats.
Moreover, some shops have a prosperous business and many people are noisy.
5. Guests entering the door are not disinfected, and cats are not vaccinated.
Who has more bacteria, a travel-stained guest or a cat living in a shop?
It's hard for guests to wash their hands and wear shoe covers before entering the door.
There are so many cats in the shop, have they all been vaccinated?
What should I do if an infectious disease breaks out?
Two or three-month-old kittens, don't let them run around in the store, they can't stand the toss.
6. Hygiene is hard to guarantee.
There are a lot of cats, cat hair and cat shit.
Of course, a boss who passes the IQ test will not make his shop smell like shit.
But cat hair is a headache. There are five cats in Gongzi's family, and they have to be cleaned twice a day, not to mention a dozen.
In some shops, tables and chairs are covered with cat hair and dust.
Don't let the cat go to the kitchen and bar, and don't always let the cat jump on the guest's table to grab food.
7. The environment in the shop is not suitable for cats.
Some shops can't get into the sun all the year round, they are airtight all the year round, and the light is very dark all day.
In such an environment, the number of bacteria can be imagined.
Needless to say, the quality of life of cats.
8. The door is not tight and the window is not firm.
The door was not closed, and the cat ran out, lost it, or was hit by a car.
The scratched screen window ran away.
There are too many such things.
It is not difficult to remind guests not to open the window.
There is no harm in installing double doors. At least put up a sign at the door, "Close the door behind you to prevent the cat from getting out", ok?
9. Sick cats are not isolated
There are sick cats in the cafe, and my son has seen a few, some with slight tinea, and some with inflamed eyes and tears.
They hid painfully in the corner without any isolation.
Nobody cares except teasing its guests.
The guest touched its dim hair, looked at its lazy expression and walked away in disappointment, as if the cat had made itself suffer.
10. Only use cats as a tool to make money.
To tell the truth, it is rare to have been to so many cats and cafes and completely avoid the above nine problems.
After all, it is hard for us onlookers to understand how difficult it is to run a store. Maybe he is inexperienced, maybe he is making progress, so it doesn't hurt to give him a chance.
Only this one is unforgivable.
When a coffee shop is crowned with the word "cat", it has the responsibility of life. Since you have chosen this name, please take this responsibility.
Pretending to love cats on the surface and deceiving guests who don't understand cats, but the starting point is filthy.
Let more than a dozen unsterilized cats stay together day and night, wearing fingernails and even having their fingers amputated. In contrast, the first nine items are simply Mao Mao Rain.
Using cats as a tool to make money reminds my son of the widely criticized circus. This is an animal hell.
