Did you know that every Christmas morning we have a tradition where we go Live and open presents with the cats in the lounge?!

AND did you know you can have your present opened on the Live and get a little shout of from us?!

All you have to do is drop off a WRAPPED and labeled gift (so we know who to thank) at the Catcade any time during our open hours!

Trust me. It’s a lot of mayhem. You’ll love it. c

For the sanity of our staff, we are begging you to foster some ringworm cats.

We’ll provide all the supplies and support needed! Email [email protected] and we’ll hook you up. - sincerely, our barely holding it together staff

Dill Pickle looks like she cries at the Muppet Christmas Carol every year. Which is actually a prerequisite to get hired at the Catcade, just fyi. You know, in case you’re playing the long game.

You ever get a taste for a food you don’t even like? I’m not a fan of stuffed peppers. Like, if you told me, “Chris, you can never eat another stuffed pepper again for the rest of your life!” I would say, “Just put the fries in the bag and also, fine by me.” This really has nothing to do with Dill Pickle or this post but for some reason I want to hate-eat a stuffed pepper right now at 12:30am.

Whatever. Just come cry in our lounge while staring at Dill Pickle and I guarantee it will start a chain reaction and I promise you Elle is tearing up right now just reading this. Big ass babies. c

This was Caperberry’s response when I asked her if I could take four year old expired Theraflu tonight. And since there is no one here to yell at me and tell I’m far too old to be so reckless and impulsive, I guess only time will tell if I show up for work tomorrow. Whatever. I ate seven donuts for dinner and she’s only 3.5 months old so I guess we are both dummies.

Merch store has been restocked with a few new items for your favorite candle-loving apple-picking matcha-loving former Aeropostale-shopping friend in your life.

Welp, just cracked open a box of white cheddar cheez-its to get that whole Kevin McAllister alone in a hotel vibe. Whatever. Off to tempt fate. c

Baylor is my current favorite in the lounge. Mostly because when she hears me open the drive-thru window to tell the people they have five minute to empty their bladders, she comes running. Not to p*e, but to hop up and rub her face on me. I’m not saying I’ve trained her but if you are fortunate enough to adopt her, don’t be surprised if she jumps on your shoulders after you’ve pounded your last Four Loko. She will essentially be the Radar to your 4077th.

(Wait. Did his old ass just insert a M*A*S*H joke in there?!)

We keep telling you The Catcade ain’t for the kids. And not in the cool way but in the -I want to take a nap after we are done eating at the buffet-kind of adult. I type as I wear stretchy pants after eating an entire pot of homemade soup. Also, nothing would make me happier right now than a glazed honey bun from a high school lunchroom cafeteria. Whatever. You’re not better than me. c

Who has two thumbs and a thick ass abdomen. Not me, you creep. It’s Carrot. She has her mittens on because she ready to climb into your cold ass lonely bed, you single nerd. I joke. That’s me.

In other news: our secret Taylor shirts AND ZIP UP TAYLOR HOODIES are restocked and for sale at the Cade right now and should be available online in a couple days. Super limited quantiles but hurry up if you want it before the holidays. Or don’t and regret it for the rest of your life. c

So apparently I have posted too many “cute” cats lately and adoption interest has been pushed to the limit so instead I’m just going to post this thick ass tabby named Pelican who is “one year old” yet somehow looks like she probably churned butter and used a rotary phone at some point in her past. Listen, before you come for me, I do know the plight of having a friend with too many 9s in their phone number so for all of you who unfamiliar with channel 3 video games, Pelican and I hope you truly appreciate your heartburn and lower back pain free evenings okay so shut up.

Come touch our thick ass midsections this weekend if you like. Or don’t. Whatever. c

Have you ever thought to yourself, damn, I wish my cat didn’t weigh so much, or, I wish he was a little more aerodynamic? Well, holy s**t have you met sexy ass Zaxby? Because he comes slightly incomplete and without a tail.

“OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?!

Relax, beautiful. He was born without it. That’s right, he’s a Manx.

“What’s a Manx?”

I promise, we have the same Google you do. Butthink of how fast he’s going to be on the competitive cat racing circuit. Is that a thing? You’d probably know, you weirdo. But also… is it bad that we would probably all want to watch? I mean, I’m 100% positive it would be problematic but come on. You’d be sitting there looking over at your homestash cat like, “This could have been your lazy ass but no. Someone just HAS to eat all the floor cheese!”

Okay, I looked it up. Apparently there are cat agility courses but I’m talking about like straight up greyhound racing tracks where they all chase one of those hundred legged centipedes and we bet on who pukes first.

No? Just me. Okay.

Come touch this sexy lil man (felt weird to type) this weekend and try not to ask him where his tail went. Although he will probably just lecture you like your mom after you told her you got a vasectomy. c
