Palestinian Woman Opens Gaza's First Cat Cafe
Asia One ^ | AUGUST 21, 2023

Posted on 08/22/2023 2:45:37 PM PDT by nickcarraway

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.

My granddaughter went to Israel about 6 months ago, said cats were EVERYWHERE. Sent me some pictures of all the cats.
Have you seen the cats of Istanbul?

Go to Jerusalem if you want to see cats.
