No doggy bags at New York’s newest cafe

DRESSED in a dinner jacket, Simba sat in one of New York’s newest restaurant and nodded at people who greeted him. Then he yawned, began to roll on the floor and lick his paws.

But that’s acceptable behaviour at the Meow Mix Cafe, a new Manhattan eatery designed especially for cats and their owners.

Simba, an eight-month-old kitten, was joined by about two dozen other tabbies, Persians and Burmese for a feast at the grand opening of the cafe, which is owned by the Meow Mix Company, a New Jersey cat food maker.
