In a Feline Friday weblog publish from a number of weeks in the past I discussed that I had not too long ago visited Whiskers Cat Cafe (click on right here to learn that publish). I had been wanting to go to this specific cafe since I’d heard of its opening final yr in South Kansas Metropolis. So lastly, after coordinating schedules with just a few of my cat-fanatic associates who needed to go to the cafe as properly, I used to be in a position to go and see for myself what this new venue was all about.
For those who’re unfamiliar with cat cafes, they’re primarily cafes… however with cats! Okay, that in all probability appears apparent…
The idea of at this time’s mainstream cat cafe is claimed to have begun with the opening of The Cat Flower Backyard Cat Cafe in Taipei, Taiwan again in 1998. Since then, the overall variety of cat cafes has enormously multiplied and these cat-centric espresso retailers can now be discovered in lots of locations throughout the globe.
Patrons to those institutions are in a position to sit down and revel in their favourite brew whereas cuddling cute kitties! Feels like a successful idea to me! And with the worldwide success of those cafes, plainly many others would agree.
Now, for me personally, espresso simply isn’t my factor. I simply don’t prefer it (sorry to offend all of you espresso connoisseurs on the market). However no matter that reality, I merely can’t resist any alternative to sit down and play with a bunch of kitties for an hour. Plus, Whiskers does have just a few different drink choices for non-coffee consuming of us similar to myself. (I ordered one thing known as the London Fog. It’s an earl gray tea latte that’s tremendous scrumptious!)
Whisker Cat Cafe is partnered with KC Pet Challenge, considered one of Kansas Metropolis’s largest no-kill animal shelters. All the cats residing on the cafe come from the shelter and have been totally vetted, given a clear invoice of well being and (most) can be found for adoption.
I loved my preliminary go to to Whiskers a lot that I deliberate to revisit the cafe so as to report some footage for a video (and naturally, sit/play with the entire kitties). Sadly, “life occurs” as they are saying, and I’ve but to make a return journey to this wonderful cafe.
I’m not going to provide an in-depth evaluation of the Whiskers Cat Cafe for this publish, however I do have quite a lot of photos from my preliminary go to that I want to share with you all. Maintain scrolling all the way down to test them out!
This weekend (on Saturday, November twenty third, 2019) Whiskers Cat Cafe occurs to be having their 1-year anniversary celebration! It’s an adults-only (21+ occasion) that features beer and wine in addition to enjoyable actions, trivia and a pair of cat ears for attendees. Ticket costs are $40 and all proceeds go instantly in the direction of serving to cats.
Though I gained’t be attending myself, it does appear to be it will likely be fairly an satisfying occasion!
For those who stay in Kansas Metropolis or occur to be visiting the world, I undoubtedly advocate stopping by Whiskers Cat Cafe. You’ll need to make an appointment so as to go in and spend time with any of the kitties, so in order for you the total cat cafe expertise, I recommend you intend forward.
