The owner of a cat café in Thailand was arrested by police due to disobedience against the Animal Protection Law. Seven cats died at his café due to poor safety care.[20] Also, such welfare and safety problem can be found in South Korea as well. For example, animals in the cafes cannot sleep until the cafes shut the door late at night.[21] Such animal safety problems are generated due to the absence of regulations on animal cafes in South Korea because animal cafes are a relatively recent phenomenon.[22]
