近年来，猫咖在国内各大城市兴起，吸引了不少爱猫人光顾。网名“于小猫”的女士就在北京南锣鼓巷小菊儿胡同开了这样一家猫咖“鼓捣猫呢”。进店后，顾客可以喝咖啡、用甜点，最重要的是能和猫咪玩耍，度过一段悠闲时光。
In recent years, cat cafes have experienced a surge in popularity across major Chinese cities, attracting a growing number of cat lovers. One of these establishments, Gudaomaone (Frolics with Cats), is owned and operated by a woman nicknamed Yu Xiaomao (Kitten Yu) in Xiaojuer Hutong of Beijing's Nanluoguxiang neighborhood. Visitors to this cafe can indulge in coffee, sugary snacks, and, most importantly, the delightful and furry company of cats.
店内有37只相貌不同、性格各异的猫咪，还养了几只狗和兔子，其中唯一戴着项圈的美短虎斑猫名叫“招财”，是一只有故事的猫。2017年，“招财”在店外被陌生人抱走，几经周折找回后，店主“于小猫”给它戴上了写有联系方式的项圈。“招财”失踪的那段时间，她试过用各种方法寻找，报警、查监控、张贴寻猫启事、网上发帖……当时“鼓捣猫呢”还是个初创不久的小店，光顾的人并不多。出乎意料的是，寻猫事件反而提高了店铺的知名度，也算是因祸得福。
Within the cafe's walls live 37 cats, each with their unique appearance and personality. Among them, Zhaocai (Fortune), a short-haired American tabby, stands out as the only one wearing a collar because of an early accident. In 2017, Zhaocai was taken away by a stranger outside the cafe, prompting Yu Xiaomao to exhaust all available resources, both online and offline, to ensure the cat's safe return. This incident occurred during the early stages of Gudaomaone when the cafe had few customers. Surprisingly, the cat's retrieval event significantly boosted the cafe's popularity.
“于小猫”最初创业开的是美甲店，喜欢小动物的她在店里养了几只猫咪，结果发现专门来看猫咪的客人众多，于是改行开猫咖，把兴趣变成了事业。
Initially, Yu Xiaomao embarked on her entrepreneurial journey with a nail salon where she kept a few cats to entertain herself. However, she soon discovered that many customers frequented her salon specifically to interact with these adorable feline companions. This realization prompted her to turn her hobby into a full-fledged career by opening a cat cafe.
把猫咪当作家人和朋友的她，打算继续经营好这家猫咖，满足爱猫人，特别是都市年轻人的需求，同时让这些小动物有个好的归宿。
With a steadfast commitment to providing a nurturing home for her feline "family members," Yu Xiaomao plans to continue running the cafe and catering to the needs of fellow cat enthusiasts like herself.
