We’ve talked before about kitty cafés. Evidently the concept gained popularity in Japan. People from all over the world plan their travels to include cat cafés.
But you don’t have to travel far anymore to visit these purrfectly charming establishments. They’re popping up all over the US. And these cafés mostly double as kitty adoption centers.
There’s Cat Town in Oakland. Here, $10 per hour reserves a spot where you can mingle with and play with the cats. Come on Thursday night and you can do yoga with them. http://www.cattownoakland.org
The Kittea Café in San Francisco charges $20 an hour on weekdays, $25 on weekends and this includes all the green tea you can drink. http://www.kitteasf.com
The Cat Café in San Diego is Southern California’s first cat café (or catfé as they are known). Walk-ins are welcome with a purchase. http://www.catcafesd.com

Have any of you been to a cat café? Or have you done yoga with cats? I ate breakfast once at a place with cats—strays that the owner fed. Those cats who become tame are allowed inside the restaurant, unless a patron complains.
and converging upon your house, too. And they’re more apt to eat some of the goodies brought home by your children. So don’t leave your dogs unattended and vulnerable.
Do you remember Gumby—the little green rubber guy you could bend into all sorts of shapes? (I just did a little research and discovered that Gumby was a clay figure—he has quite a history, check it out here: 
Gumby or a rag doll when they fall into interesting positions and poses. Don’t you wish you could be as relaxed? 
I couldn’t resist—there are so many wonderful quotes depicting the cat and I decided to share more of them today:
person.” Dan Greenberg
Do you remember being told how much easier life would be in the amazing age of technology? Oh yes, Technology would make life easier—give us more personal time. Yeah, right! (I say sarcastically.)
watched her do it. We laughed at her. But when I realized the poor little thing was stuck, I forgot about grabbing a camera, so we don’t have a picture of this mishap. Maybe you can imagine it. Once she’d finished rolling herself up, her whole body was tightly wrapped—even her front paws. All that showed was her cute little face, which, by now, had a rather frantic expression. I sometimes wonder what she would have done if we weren’t home.
Earlier this month, we featured feral cats in this blog. I want to add more to that topic today. The official National Feral Cat Day was October 16. Alley Cat Allies established National Feral Cat Day in 2001 in order to raise awareness for this country’s enormous number of feral cats and to promote the trap-neuter-return program. Even though there’s one day set aside for feral cat awareness, I urge you to reach out and help feral cats all year long. Here’s a link you should follow for additional information and resources:
comprehensive directory of organizations formed with the feral cat in mind. Alley Cat Allies is a national organization, but there are also local organizations listed in case you need help with a colony you’ve discovered in your area. If you don’t see a listing for a group in your community, contact Alley Cat Allies. Here are a few organizations in CA: Feral Cat Coalition and Forgotten Felines.
