Why are cat cafes suddenly under investigation? Japan has started its first nationwide survey of animal cafes, looking at animal welfare, hygiene and how people interact with the animals. And as a quick look at social media shows, cat cafes are just the tip of the iceberg. The concerns go beyond whether the animals have enough space. It's also about the type of animals kept. Critics say some cafes keep exotic, threatened species, raising concerns about animal welfare and the wildlife trade. A WWF Japan report of 25 cafes in Japan found more than 1,700 animals, with about a quarter of them belonging to threatened species. And 90% of the cafes had animals considered at high risk of causing injury through contact. That doesn't mean that there'll be a blanket ban on all animal cafes in Japan, or that all animals are being mistreated. Some well-known cat cafes work with rescue organizations, giving homeless cats a place to stay and visitors the chance to adopt them. But the government survey does ask what's happening behind these cute clips. So what do you think of animal cafes? Would you visit one?
