BREAKING: Cat Cafe Coming To San Francisco

[arcane1]

This isn't a joke. You're not dreaming. It's real, and it's mew-tacular. A tea cafe featuring a bevy of therapeutic, adorable cats is set to open in San Francisco this year. Christened KitTea, founders Courtney Hatt and David Braginsky describe the venture as "part 'gourmet tea house' and part 'cat and human oasis.'"

The goal is to provide homeless cats a place to call home. According to the website, the cafe plans on opening this Spring. How will it work? Like this:

Patrons will partake of all the enjoyment and therapy that cats provide, while enjoying healthy blends of exotic teas that are ecologically sourced from around the world. Our cats will enjoy a high-quality, elegant home constructed expressly for their pleasure.

2. Bookstore cats are the best!

There used to be a liquor store on Polk that had an always-sleeping kitty in it.

Good for them for using shelter cats.
