Of Cats and Coffee

Today’s photo could have worked for several days this week, but since I didn’t get a chance to post it yesterday, we’ll see how we can use it today.

First, the photo:

Coffee at the Cat Cafe

Coffee at the Cat Cafe

Now, we could think of it as representing a Monday Mystery, since it’s odd to see a cat face in a cup of coffee.

Or, we could think of it as Travel Tuesday — since it is Tuesday, after all, and the photo was taken at a Seattle coffee shop called Meowtropolitan. As you can guess from the cafe’s name it’s a special “themed” cafe all about cats. Everything at the place is either named for cats or things having to do with cats. Their other feature –  er, gimmick? — is that for a not-so-small fee you can go into the “cat lounge” and hang out with some cats. Real cats from the local shelter. You can go in and play with them, and then if you want to adopt them, they are available for that, too.

Chris and I didn’t take that option, though. They charge  $10 per 50 minute session with the cats  (although that does include the price of one coffee drink). But Chris and I get enough free chances to play with our landlady’s cat if we want to.  Paying for coffee and a cat — as it were — seems a little odd to me. But while we were there, the other 8 people in the place were all waiting for their turn to go into to play with the cats. So, I guess there are enough feline fanciers to keep the cats content.

Anyway, I’ll just stop here and leave you with this song that celebrates cats. It’s from the Broadway musical Cats. It is, after all, the the purr-fect song for today’s post…
