Long story short, I got invited to go to the Crumbs and Whiskers Cat Cafe in Georgetown, Washington DC for National Cat Day. The invitation actually had two dates. One for National Cat Day: October 29th at Crumbs and Whiskers and the other for the next day at their sister store, Crumbs & Whiskers: A Kitten Cafe. The biggest difference is cats vs. kittens but the October 29th date worked best for me. I rsvp’d for the date and was so excited all day to go. Once I got there, the Cat Cafe was surprised I showed up. The event for the day I was there got canceled since everyone else rsvp’d for the following day. Everyone wanted to go to the Kitten Cafe!

So since I was already there, the very kind people at the Cat Cafe let me stay. All by myself, with no other guests, and 30 CATS ALL TO MYSELF. Am I dreaming? OMG it was the best Tuesday night ever. I fell in love with 2 cats while I was there and really wish I could take them home. To be honest, I just don’t know how Frankie would react to cats in our home. He’s been a solo pet ever since we got him so I don’t know what he’d do if there was a cat dividing his attention. But I’ve been obsessed ever since. I’ve been sending cute cat memes to Andrew almost every day since then. LOL.

So in honor of the best Tuesday night ever, here’s a compilation of cat investigating my camera. I love the way they turned out even though they’re out of focus. I love all the pink and black noses. I was so surprised how 30 cats were able to be in one spot and be so friendly to each other and me. I would have definitely thought there would be some catfights but everyone seemed so happy and well taken care of.

If you’re interested in adopting a cat in the Washington DC area, please check out Crumbs and Whiskers. They have some of the sweetest, cuddliest cats I’ve ever seen. And please tell Monkey and Douglas that I said, “Hallo”

Dreams DO come true and yesterday, one of mine came to life. I went to a cat cafe! It was all that I expected and more.

Crumbs and Whiskers in Georgetown is DC’s very first cat cafe. It’s a cozy little place where they have about 20 cats and all of them are up for adoption. They’re all there for various reasons but every single one of the kitties will totally put a smile on your face when you see them. If you plan on going, try your best to purchase the cat treats. They’re totally worth it because you’ll be the center of attention in the kitty purr-a-dise.

This guy was more interested in my camera than the treats.

Doing what kitties do best- lounge.

The trail we made to lure more cats towards us.

Slept the whole time we were there. I don’t think I saw his eyes once.

This guy was more interested in the snow more than anything else

He was smart. He found the source of the treats and went straight for them.

He’s cute and he knows it.

I think this one was trying to sneak home with someone.

I mean come on!! He even has a trail of treats next to him and it still didn’t get him up. I still giggle every time I think about this cat.

Loved all the kitties and can’t wait to go back.
