　　宠物打工

　　不仅自己赚零食钱

　　还能当宠物店大明星

　　现在的宠物

　　可太独立了

　　这一现象引发了美国有线电视新闻网CNN的关注：中国宠物被主人派出去工作，在咖啡馆挣“零食钱” 。

　　报道称，9月中旬，薛女士把2岁的萨摩耶宠物狗送去“上班”。这只萨摩耶名叫“OK”，其雇主为福州市的一家宠物狗咖啡馆。

　　According to CNN, Jane Xue sent her dog, a 2-year-old Samoyed named OK, off to her first day of work in mid-September. Her employer? A dog cafe in Fuzhou, in southeastern China.

　　“I feel it’s just like parents sending their kids off to school,” the 27-year-old PhD student told CNN as she dropped OK off for her new part-time job.

　　薛女士介绍，自己跟男朋友周末通常要出门，所以想让OK“体验不一样的生活”。她说，OK去宠物狗咖啡馆是双赢：OK能跟其他狗互动，不会孤单。自己则能节省开支，夏天如果把OK留在家里，需要全天开空调，电费可不便宜。

　　Xue wanted her dog to “experience a different life,” as she and her partner are usually out on weekends.

　　“Sending OK to the cafe is a win-win. She gets to play with other dogs and won’t feel so lonely,” she said.

　　In addition to being surrounded by playmates, Xue says OK’s job in the cafe allows her and her partner to save money. If they leave her at home, they have to run the air-conditioning all day, which gets pricey.

　　据《2023-2024年中国宠物行业白皮书(消费报告)》显示，2023年，我国城镇宠物消费市场规模为2793亿元，预计在2026年达到3613亿元。随着中国养宠家庭的数量逐年上升，宠物市场需求愈加多元化、个性化、社交化，宠物行业的细分领域正迎来前所未有的发展机遇。

　　中国的宠物咖啡馆是一门大生意。去宠物咖啡馆的客户通常需购买30到60元不等的门票，或者就得进店点咖啡消费。主人把宠物送到宠物咖啡馆工作，晚上再接回家，就好像让宠物上班一样。这听起来挺好玩，也反映了当下一种趋势。

　　Pet cafes are a big business in China. Visitors get to interact with the animals that roam the shop, allowing the venue owners to charge more for the experience. Customers visiting China’s cat and dog cafés usually pay an entrance fee, ranging from 30-60 yuan ($4-8.5) per person, or simply need to order something like a cup of coffee.

　　中国首家猫咪咖啡馆2011年在广州开张，此后几年，猫咖数量每年增加200%。截至2023年，中国已有4000多家猫咖相关企业。

　　China’s first cat cafe opened in the southern city of Guangzhou in 2011 and the number of similar establishments has grown by 200% per year in the country, according to CBNData, China’s state-linked financial paper.

　　As of 2023, there were more than 4,000 cat cafe-related companies in the country.

　　薛女士透露，她在社交媒体上看到宠物招聘广告，觉得让OK去工作很有意思，就带OK去店里面试。宠物咖啡馆店主观察OK在店里活动大约1小时，发现它跟顾客以及店里其他4只狗狗互动良好，面试过程非常顺利。薛女士说，现在OK成了店里的大明星。

　　带着宠物去社交

　　还能顺便赚零花钱

　　怎么不算一种双赢呢?

　　如果是你

　　你会让自己的宠物

　　去应聘店员吗?
