Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal

THESTAR,TORONTO

Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.

The idea is simple: a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.

Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure(压力).She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.

Some experts(专家)say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.

Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.

Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.

The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters(救护所).If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.

The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.
