For my birthday, I treated myself to the 70-minute Kitten Extravaganza at the cat cafe and adoption site, Crumbs and Whiskers.

It was utterly delightful. There were 27 cats and kittens, all healthy, lively, and happy. They could leave any time they wanted (through the pink curtain). Zero smell. The floor rugs were extremely comfortable. Everyone there was in heaven, including me. (It was with great difficulty that I left without adopting Knox (a mini-Alex) and Firecracker (the black and white kitten I'm cuddling on the cat tree.)

They prefer that you adopt in pairs, ideally siblings, unless you already have a cat:







Had I been there with friends rather than myself, we would not have been able to resist whispering Hitler jokes at each other:



Mini-Me Alex:





Firecracker loves me. Also note the dangling tails above:



Tiny sharp teeth:





A state of bliss:





Afterward, I got a slice of crack pie at Momofuku Milk Bar, a Chubby Pork Belly Bowl at Kogi Taqueria, and retired to my sofa where I read Stephen King's The Institute with both my own cats napping on me.

Truly a perfect day.

How fun!

I wish we had one of those here.}:)

Wen Mark is ready, the plan is to adopt 2 kittens or an older cat, from our local shelter. We generally try to adopt in pairs as well, so they have a companion to grow old with, like Max and Aries did. Morrigan is the exception- she adopted Caena first, then us.

But she's been missing Miss Sassy lately, so the time is coming for new kittehs here.

Happy belated birthday and best wishes for your health, happiness and success with your goals for the next year in your life!

That sounds like a wonderful birthday. I love the decoration of the cafĂ© and that the cats were able to leave and that they want people to adopt cats in pairs. ♥
