Pet-friendly cafes make 'purrfect' combo

With consumption upgrades and the growth of cat and dog owners, pet cafes — a new business concept — are gaining popularity across the country.

For Yu Miao, a 30-year-old cat owner in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, one of the criteria when she selects a coffee shop is whether it is pet-friendly.

"There are so many coffee shops in Hangzhou. As a cat owner, I sometimes take my cat out, and I would like to choose a coffee shop that allows my cat to accompany me in cafes," she said.
