America's first cat cafe opened to the public today in New York City (it's not permanent, just a four day pop-up hosted by cat food brand Purina). There's a fully-functioning coffee bar that serves "espresso drinks, drip coffee, and a small selection of pastries" for free, including a "cat'achino." And for those unlucky enough to not be in New York (and/or allergic to cats), Purina was kind enough to install a camera and livestream the goings on. So far: not a lot of cats. A long line to get in. Watch. Maybe there will be cats:
