Cat Cafe Is Big Hit With Animal Lovers

Sep 25, 2013 6:32 AM

A new cafe in Paris is offering patrons a dose of stress relief with their coffee and croissants.  The Cat Cafe has a dozen resident cats to provide what could be called "purr therapy."  The manager there says a cat's purring has been shown to help relieve arthritis or rheumatism and to lower blood pressure and heart rate.  The cafe is meant to appeal to Paris residents who can't have pets in their small apartments.  It seems the whole concept is a hit because so many people showed up for the cafe's recent opening that about 300 had to be turned away.
