Inspired by her passion for the furry animal, Naeema Mea'bed opened the "MEOW Cat Cafe" in the Gaza Strip this week, hoping to bring cat lovers some joy, while boosting awareness over pet raising, which has become increasingly popular in the region.
The cafe, the first of its kind in Gaza, is entirely cat-themed, with mirrors and flower vases, as well as posters of the 14 resident cats that are available for guests, adults or children, to play with.
On Sunday, a long queue of hopeful customers formed, spurring Mea'bed to set up more tables and seats for families who had brought their children along for the feline experience, costing US$1.30 (S$1.76) per half hour. Parents are able to sit and observe their children play with the cats through a glass partition as they sip their coffee.

Hear about the Chinese restaurant where the worker went into the kitchen and blurted out loudly “moo shu” “moo shu.”?
The cats thought he was shooing them and they all ran outside.
The place had to cancel the chicken lunch special for the next day.

Cats are EVERYWHERE in Israel. Most I saw were feral. Didn’t see any dogs...unless they were small and carried in the owner’s arm.

Cats are quite popular with muslims due to the prophets fondness for them.

How do the cats kill Jess though? Little kitty vests? Improvised mouse toy bombs?
