This is business "innovation" - in a different sense. The Blue Cat Cafe of Austin, Texas, inspires both lovers and haters (who "defaced the property with obscene graffiti and glued the door locks shut" on the cafe's first anniversary).
Surprisingly, the source of this passion is just cats, supplied by the local humane society. They have the run of the place. Food is prepared outside in a food truck to comply with health regs, and tables and floors are wiped down morning and evening.
The owner says she “wanted to provide a positive place for people and cats—and to get the cats adopted.” Since the cafe opened in 2015, over 200 cats have found a home.
