Though it won't officially open until December 15th, Meow Parlour—the city's first official cat cafe—is opening up its reservation slots tomorrow for some face time with adorable kitties. Starting at noon, you can reserve slots in 30 minute increments at $4 for up to five hours.
If planning ahead for cuddles isn't your MO (why not?), walk-ins will also be accepted. Co-owner Christina Ha told Eater that the cafe will "be able to take your information and we'll call you when the space opens up, instead of forcing people to wait on a line when it's 10 degrees." That's smart planning.
