The Cat Flower Garden, the world’s first cat café, opened in Taiwan in 1998. The café offered baked goods and a selection of tea and coffee in addition to allowing time to spend with the cats. The concept quickly spread to many other places around the world.
Customers can sit with the cats, pet them, play with them or just relax watching cats do what cats do. Each café has its own rules in place for the safety of the cats. They usually include: no loud noises, running or chasing the cats; do not disturb them if they are eating or sleeping; and a limit on the number of people in the cat space at any one time.
Cat cafés are not shelters, so they do not rescue or accept stray (走失的) animals. Most of them partner with shelters and other animal organizations. The cats are available for adoption.
Alisha Reynolds is the owner of Pawsitivitea, a famous cat café in New York. She opened it after visiting a cat café in Virginia. Impressed by the experience, she wanted to open something similar by combining her strong sense of compassion, her culinary (烹饪) training and her experience as a salesperson. “Opening a cat café seemed like a better option than working three jobs,” she said.
Reynolds likes to add fun themes to her business, such as a pretend Halloween party in July, with some of the cats wearing fun, but safe decorated vests. “People love the concept of a cat café,” she said. “Plus we have adopted out more than 350 cats since we opened three years ago.” She also has a blog devoted to the benefits of interacting with cats in a café setting. Some of the benefits she lists are the calming effect of a cat’s purr (猫呼噜声) and sitting with a cat in a peaceful environment can reduce stress.
The cats benefit as well. Whatever their backgrounds have been, they now live in a safe, loving space and they are able to spend time with people who show them love. And of course, many of the café visitors adopt the cats after meeting them in person, which leads to a life-long bond with the cats.

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have led a worldwide, advanced study demonstrating the potential of tirzepatide, known to manage Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), as the first effective drug treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a sleep-related disorder characterized by repeated episodes of irregular breathing due to complete or partial blockage of the upper airway.
The results, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlight the treatment’s potential to improve the quality of life for millions around the world affected by OSA．“This study marks a significant milestone in the treatment of OSA, offering a promising new treatment option,” said physician Atul Malhotra, lead author of the study.
