Purr-fect mealtime: A cat waiting to be served at one of many pet cafes springing up in the Klang Valley.

MELAKA: The Melaka Historic City Council wants to audit animal cafes here to ensure that such outlets safeguard the welfare of the pets there.

Council publicity officer Ricky Tan said the audit process will also check to see that the operators do not exceed the maximum hours per day that the animals are allowed to interact with cafe patrons.
