Café des Chats

While in Montreal, I got a lap dance… from a cat at a cat cafe!

There have been cat cafes in Asia for a long time, since not all urban people are in a position to keep pets but might still enjoy petting them.  We were walking along Rue St. Denis and happened by the first North American Cat Cafe.

This little girl was SO EXCITED about the cats.  They are the most patient cats ever, because they never scratched once and hardly ran away.

The coffee was medium at best, but the cats were pretty fun. It is an interesting business plan; I’ll be interested to see if they can make a go of it.
