Visiting The Second Cup Cat Cafe

The shelter where I volunteer opened a cat cafe called The Second Cup and when Simon was off from school last week (before he got sick) we decided to check it out.

I was a little nervous since I’m allergic to cats, but I didn’t have much of an issue while there for an hour and would have stayed longer if allowed. Simon and I were the only people there so we got a lot of attention from the cats!

Since today is my birthday, I thought I would do a similar post for myself. If you’ve been here for awhile you may know most of this trivia already, but I hope you enjoy reading the post anyway.
