SALT LAKE CITY — What would a cat Disneyland look like? For Lisa Totzke, owner of Tinker's Cat Cafe, it would include drinks with punny names, sweet treats and lots and lots of cats. In fact, it's what her shop on the corner of 300 East and 900 South in Salt Lake City looks like today.

Totzke opened Utah's first cat cafe in 2017 and has been welcoming cat and coffee enthusiasts ever since. On one side, you can order a cat-puccino. On the other is the "cat lounge," where patrons can chill with the cool cats.

"It can be really therapeutic for people," Totzke said. "Hopefully you leave smiling." Click here for more on the story.
