This is going to make me one unpopular person (especially on ye olde internet, which is at least 90% feline pictures/videos) but I’m going to say it: I hate cats. Or rather, they hate me. The thing is, whenever I go to a cat-loving friend’s house I’m normally forced to pretend like I enjoy their company and lean in for a pat,. The cat senses my fear and lashes out, but purrs up to everyone else while I’m left a barely surviving, bleeding mess in the corner. What is that, if not hate?
While the rivalry between felines and me is still strong, there is one cool cat that I am quite fond of: Nine Lives. Over the past couple of years the gallery’s churned out quality exhibition after quality exhibition, providing visionary delights in art and tasty delights in beer – for free. Good kitty. Now they deserve a treat, too, all you’ve got to do is Feed The Cat. Ten bucks gives the gallery the support it needs and gets you into the Zoo for a night of good old fashioned feline fun – minus the claws. Mitzi, Tiger Beams, Little Casino, Saw Tooth and more round off a lineup that’s going to have you purring all night. Leave your ailurophobia at the door.
