Has anyone else noticed that this seems to be the year of the cat?
What with a new Garfield movie, the character Puss'n Boots on Shrek
and now the grand opening of the Meow Mix Cafe. I think this is a
kitty year. Yes, the cat restaurant does serve cats, but not for
dinner. They bring them their dinner. Apparently cat owners in New
York needed a place to take their cats for dinner, so the Meow Mix
Cafe was born. I guess they serve people too, but I heard it is
frowned upon. You know those single girls I was talking about with
their cats. Now they don't even need a date, they can actually take
their cats. My question is: how do they keep the cats still enough not
to run away? We used to have a cat and she would eat whenever she felt
like it, not when we wanted her to eat. Maybe they sit there for hours
in the hopes that the cats will suddenly become socially acceptable
and eat with the humans. I was reading that for the grand opening they
dressed them in little kitty tuxedos and such. Now that's got to be
uncomfortable and really pretty dumb. If I was a cat and my owner
dressed me up I would have evil cat thoughts about scratching my
master. There's two rules to the Meow Mix Cafe - no dogs and no
catnip. I guess the catnip would make the other cats jealous. It's
kind of like cocaine for kitties. Once they are hooked there's no
getting off it. It's a sad day for kitties everywhere. Now they have
to lose their catnip, get dressed up to eat, and be humiliated by
their owners in public. Garfield would have one thing to say about
that - "Rowr."
