How do you feel about pet cafes?
Hello, my name is Terran and I'm from the United States of America. My question is the following: How do you feel about pet cafes?
I love the concept of a pet cafe. I think it's really cute. Especially, I think it's important to know how the animals are being treated. Like, sometimes a pet cafe means you bring your pet to the cafe, and other times it means that there are pets of the cafe within the cafe. So I think the most important thing is that the animals are being treated well, whoever owns them, right? The other thing I'll say is I would love to go to a cat cafe, but it quite literally could kill me. I'm really allergic to cats. It wouldn't kill me, but I would leave there covered in hives, having asthma, a runny nose, sneezing. And I just think I would love it if I weren't allergic to it.
But a dog cafe, oh, you best believe I would love to be a part of that.
