Outfit of the Day: The Cat Whisperer at Pounce Cat Cafe

YOU GUYS, THEY’VE OPENED A CAT CAFE IN CHARLESTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 I have officially died and gone to heaven–but just to be safe, please be sure to sprinkle my ashes there when my time comes so that I may become one with my feline brethren.

I cannot teeeell you how long I’ve waited to partake in the tradition of the cat cafe, as made popular by Japanese culture. For those that are unfamiliar, cat cafes are a pay-by-the-hour establishment where you pay to hang out with a bunch of cats and sip on a beverage of your choosing (I know, it totally blew my mind too.) I had the pleasure of meeting Ashley, owner of Pounce Cat Cafe and Wine Bar on Meeting Street, and she was kind enough to let me take some outfit photos with these sweet little nuggets after hours. The best part is that these babes are all adoptable, and I’d say around 85% of the cats we took photos with in this set have since found loving homes (brb, ugly crying tears of joy).
