Critical Whiskers

Critical Whiskers Critical Whiskers is a hobby boutique and cat lounge coming soon to Lubbock, TX, in Spring 2026.

Our mission is to create a welcoming space where cat lovers, gamers, hobbyists, and creatives come together to play, connect, and make a difference.

Our lovely neighbors over at spotted a rainbow above our sign early this morning and shared this picture with us. There are several special kitties waiting at the rainbow bridge that are the reason this journey that led to creating Critical Whiskers even began. Feels like a little reminder of why we're doing all of this.❤️🌈🐈

It's looking like a kitty playground around here! Huge thank you to my family for helping construct and hang our cat shelves! More kitty (and human) furniture should be arriving early this coming week, and maybe even some kitties too!😻

Since it's the end of May and we haven't opened yet, it's probably past time for an update on when we expect that to happen. We'll make a full post with the event info this week, but for anyone checking in today, our Grand Opening Open House will be Saturday June 20th! We may have a preview/soft opening a little before that but rain or shine, finished or not, we will be open June 20th!😅

*I'm working on updating the website as quickly as I can with info about hours, lounge rules, etc. and I really thank everyone for being not only excited for us to open but also patient with me. Creating this has been a dream come true but also a lot of work, unexpected delays, and a learning process but I can't wait to share it with everyone. -Jennifer

For peace of mind and safety, we had to make sure we came up with a solution for the fact that our unit has a drop ceiling. Our first plan didn't pan out the way we wanted but our new plan is working great! Now we can put up cat shelves and tall cat trees along the wall and not worry!

It's getting more official around here! Thanks Blue Line Print and Design for coming out from New Mexico and bringing us the awesome sign!

We're focused on getting the cat lounge side all finished this week so that hopefully we can start getting some kitties settled in and make sure the space does all that we need it to do. We still need to secure the drop ceiling to make sure they stay extra safe but otherwise it's time to build cat trees and shelves, fluff some beds and blankets, and make this a cozy stop on their journey to their forever homes.

As evident by the stacks of boxes outside the cat lounge windows, we still have more work to do on the "human side" of the business but we're making good progress there too.

We've added a FAQ page to our website www.criticalwhiskers.com/pages/faq and will keep adding information there as we can. If you've messaged us or sent in a form and we haven't been in touch, we thank you for your patience, we've been swamped by the number of inquiries and questions. We've had to keep our focus on getting the space finished but are trying to catch up on messages as we can. Hopefully the FAQ page will help answer the most common questions.

Hey Lubbock Cat Owners! Let's help out another local cat lover (and TTU PhD student) with her study. Because while we all love our furry feline friends, if someone found a great way to reduce unwanted scratching in our homes, that would be a win for everyone. You can scan the QR code on the flyer or go to bit.ly/CatScratchStudy to sign up.

Huge thank you to whoever sent this from our wishlist! They didn't put a note in with it to say who sent it, but we're so grateful! We've made some big progress this past week on the cat side of the space and are almost ready to start setting up cat furniture and the litter room. Getting closer and closer to being able to welcome kitties (and visitors) to Critical Whiskers!😻

But we're making progress! One step at a time and soon we'll be able to share fun hobbies and kitty snuggles with everyone.❤️

Look at these adorable paint you own kitty kits that just came in! A little different than the kind of painting that has been happening around here.😹

So glad to be able to move on from getting the walls painted and really dive into setting the space up! And just a reminder that we have our wishlist with kitty beds, blankets, and other items, in our bio if you'd like to help make the space extra special for the kitties.😽 Thank you to everyone who has been following along with our progress, we can't wait until this space is filled with smiles and purrs!
