I've been thinking lately that the real stars over here at Beans! could use some more internet exposure, what do you think?

If you haven't yet paid a visit to Beans! Cat Cafe, please consider giving us a try! We're located on level two of Lunatia and are a combination cat cafe and animal shelter — a place where you can come to spend time, enjoy a drink, play with our cats, and maybe even take a new furry friend home with you when you go.

Who knows? Maybe YOUR favorite cat will be best (or worst) cat of the week next!

I like clients to feel like they're taken care of-

[He gets no further as a big orange cat appears and stares up at him before rubbing against his leg. He twitches and stares down at the creature, clearly discombobulated.

Smile on his face, he reached down to offer the creature a scratch behind the ears. There were cats on the farm - there were lots of animals on the farm, but he could never get any of them to come to him.

Slowly, slowly the discombobulation vanishes and he nods at her, rising.]

I think these guys are cute. It's a good sale. And who knows, if you grow the business you could even open a second location if you wanted to. There are plenty of little guys like this-

[A tiny gray creature sits on his shoe, straight up on it, and he winces, trying to gently nudge him off without hurting him.]

[Hmm. She is suddenly skeptical of his previous assertion that he adores cats — maybe he does, but he certainly doesn't seem comfortable around them. Still, she figures she'll rescue him, so she bends down easily and scoops up the gray cat, flipping him upside-down and cradling him in her arms like a baby.

It quickly becomes apparent that this is something they've done before, with how well the cat takes to it, stretching out his legs into the air and turning into a half-solid, half-liquid cat state.]

Actually, one of the things people have suggested is that we expand into dogs. You know, diversify a little, for cat people and dog people both. I'd like to do that a lot, I think. Just, help out as much as I can.

Dogs are a bit more "people" friendly. You could make this a general pet cafe. I've never seen dogs in places like this. That's unique.

[The orange Tom stares up and him, and he's back with a very loud purr. Bending down, Don hesitates before trying to copy her moves. The cat squirms and rubs against him before jumping down with a tail beneath his chin.]

Oh I like that one. What's his name?

[doreimi]

The orange one? That's Pumpkin Spice! One of our volunteers named him and I think it's some kind of inside joke. Something about the cafe having Pumpkin Spice year-round.

[SHE'S FROM 1983, SHE DOESN'T KNOW JACK ABOUT MEMES]

And then this one is Smudge! He's just as friendly as anything, and loves people. It doesn't matter if they're strangers or not.

[The big orange one reminds him of a farm cat - one of the one's he'd watch skip around the barn. He'd looked soft and sweet. At the name, he snorts.]

Spicy pumpkins. Someone's a little too harvest-themed.

[The smaller creature gets a nudge as he raises a hand for the creature to sniff.]

Let's take them and talk contracts.

[His features gaze around the room, studying people and the animals. The place is reasonable. It's cute even. And if they added dogs...]

...This place is really making people happy.
