Bangkok Cat Café Faces Abuse Probe After Viral Footage Emerges

Disturbing online videos showing a man mistreating cats at a café in Bangkok’s Bang Khen district triggered a government investigation. The clips depicted the individual throwing, kicking, and roughly handling cats, prompting outrage from animal welfare advocates. Officials raided the establishment, which had closed prior to the inspection, and the suspect admitted the abuse. Around 19 cats were found neglected and malnourished, then moved to a rescue organisation for care. Additional complaints allege customers were misled about the health of cats sold by the café.
