Reblog: Neko Cafes to Hit the City by the Bay

EE of days past: Mungo on Japan's Neko Cafes.

An idea so great that San Francisco is opening one soon. KitTea will serve both as a relaxing place for San Franciscans to chill out with some kitties and to provide a home for wayward felines.

So, what do you think? Will California's notoriously draconian food safety regulators skin this cat? How about Animal Control? PETA? Seems like an uphill battle, even if the result of the venture is to match cat-friendly tea drinkers with purring balls of fur and at the same time providing a nice, safe, warm home (and veterinary care, assuredly) for otherwise homeless cats.

We'll see, but I wish them all the best in the meantime.
