The hygienic condition of cat coffee is worrying.

Mimi Bekhechi, regional director of PETA UK, said in an interview that animal lovers should go less to this type of coffee shop, where animals are always weak and may even be abused, and animals and coffee shops should not be arranged in chaos.

Cat coffee originated in Taiwan at the end of the last century and has become increasingly popular since then, with cat cafes everywhere from London to Australia, but a coffee shop in Leicester, England, was forced to close recently because of its poor hygiene. In the course of the inspection, the local government only gave him a health rating and advised him to make great efforts to improve his health. Dominic Shellard, vice chancellor of de Montfort University in the UK, once wrote on Twitter that he was in a bad mood when drinking coffee at the coffee shop because it smelled of cat droppings. But Lisa Rivers, the owner of Leicester Cafe, insisted that his coffee shop's poor hygiene rating was due to clerical problems, while the closure of the coffee shop was due to health problems. "my coffee shop's hygiene rating is only one point because I did not provide paperwork during the inspection by the environmental health department that day," Rivers said. In addition, she insists that her coffee shop is hygienic and her cats are healthy. And customers who have been to Leicester Cafe also have different feelings according to what they offer. Some customers said they enjoyed spending time with the cats here, while others complained that the environment was disappointing compared with other cat cafes in the UK.

People's opinions on cat coffee are always mixed. Some coffee shops with furry cats always give people a sense of comfort and comfort. In some cat cafes, the coffee is always mixed with cat hair, which deters many customers.
