New York will briefly have a new restaurant, one catering strictly to the feline trade.

But on August 17th, there will be a restaurant launch like no other in the city's history: the gala grand opening of the Meow Mix Café, purported to be the first ever catering to cats. Cat food maker Meow Mix is committed -- that might be the exact right word -- to welcoming a feline clientele to the cafe, which is located on Fifth Avenue, directly across the street from the main branch of the New York Public Library.

Mingus is eating at the Y!

I think that as soon as Allegra gets back, we should load up her bunch, my bunch, and Bacon 'n' Hap's bunch and take the crew to the new restaurant. That'd be 13 cats.

Blue is busy building his doomsday machine in the basement, Spike misplaced the glass he keeps his teeth in and Peek-A-Boo can't be bothered, but if they have "Hairy crunchy spider" on the menu, Frodo is SOOOO THERE!

Thanks, we think Mingus is pretty also.

Got him at the animal shelter in '97 and they called him a Tuxedo cat. Best $50 we ever spent. His color pattern is almost perfect with a black top side and white under side. He could have some Maine Coon in him, he does have a big head and tufts on his ears. I'll ask him tonite when he gets back from happy hour. lol
