A couple weeks ago Alyssa, Nicole, and I met for dinner at the Ace Cafe and then walked down the block to The Kitty Beautiful which is a new cat cafe in downtown Orlando. There has been one for a few years in Clermont but it's a bit of a drive so I had never been. I'm so excited there is a closer option now!
They have drink and food options hence the cafe portion and then the back room is full of all the keeties! We were there for Cats Against Humanity so we paid our $10 fee and we had a good 15 minutes or so to just play with the cats. Then we broke into a few groups and played the game with cats swarming all around. It was a literal dream come true. Bubba (the one in the middle of the game on the table) was a favorite of the night. I hope he's found a home by now because he's a treasure! Alyssa kept kicking ass; so much so that we all wondered if she had rigged the game. Ha! Just kidding. Kind of. It was a fun time with some very inappropriate humor and the cutest of felines.
As we were leaving one of the employees told us the story of Lemonade. Apparently this particular cat kept to himself. He had no interest in humans or other cats. The cafe even warned everyone who went in to play with the cats to not touch Lemonade unless he came to them. Some didn't listen and left with some scratches. He hung out on this particular perch all of the time until one day a guy came in and Lemonade immediately hopped down and walked over to him. Not only that but he plopped on the ground and showed him his belly. Lemonade had found his human! But the human wasn't convinced so he left and came back again the next day and Lemonade was just as smitten with him and now he was too. He left with Lemonade and even sent updates of Lemonade enjoying life in his new home. I cried when she told us this story. Animals are everything and when they pick you you better snatch them up and love them forever.
