It’s that time of the year again: the fog has rolled in, the smell of fresh pencils and crisp Muni exhaust is in the air, the Giants are doing some sports thing, Kanye West was in town and one of our favorite holidays just happened: World Cat Day. Ah, to celebrate another year of the unfriendly, leach-like creatures we let live in our house and depress our self-esteem with a blitz of GIFs, interviews, breaking news, and more cowtowing to our feline demons and deities.
This group of cat pics posted in celebration of the occasion is more depressing than we anticipated. Why do so many people feel like they were stuck with cats after break-ups. What would you rather have, lifelong companionship, a warm body, and an understanding partner, or a boyfriend?
Sophie Smith has
the longest cat hair in the world, at 10 inches. Selfishly, she has not commented on the possibility of donating it to a charity like
Locks of Love, or
Pantene Beautiful Lengths.
Snuggles Butt Le Lee is a cat name, even though everyone objected when we wanted to name our cat Mithrandir, after Gandalf’s Sindarin name. Racists.
These gifs “honor our feline rulers.” Teach your cat how to
hack your neighbor’s wifi. A compelling
resolution to humanity’s greatest debate.

Ever since the rise in popularity of
Cat Cafes in Asia and Europe, the demand to consume hot dirty water in the same building where cats shit has risen in America. Two separate cafes are poised to open in the Bay Area in the coming year,
CatTown Cafe in Oakland and
KitTea in Hayes Valley. Both ventures will have cafe-style areas with a separate cat zone. All cats will be available for adoption, which is the primary mission of both cafes. We spoke to Ann Dunn, who helms CatTown and is co-founding the CatTown Cafe with Adam Myatt.
