Cat lovers come from near and far to the Cat Cafe on the Bowery in New York

Cat lovers come from near and far to the Cat Cafe on the Bowery in New York on its grand opening day, Thursday, April 24, 2014. Purina has teamed with the North Shore Animal League to open the pop-up cafe where cat aficionados are not afraid to get a little fur on their clothing while they snuggle the adoptable cats, drink cappuccino and eat pastries. The kitties are free-range around the store and the customers can pet them, pick them up and play with them. Cat cafes are already big in Japan and this pop-up store is a first for New York. The event only goes until April 27 when you can take your adopted kittie home. (© Richard B. Levine)
