I've never been to KitTea, despite living in the Bay Area, but I strongly endorse pre-COVID Paws & Whiskers in the Georgetown part of DC. Cozy, pleasant, and peaceful.
By comparison, Catnip in Norfolk, VA, was in a desolate little strip mall and full of very skittish black cats. I get that black cats are statistically the least desirable ones by pet owners, and I wouldn't object to having a black cat as a pet myself, but the ambiance there was kind of sad when I visited last year.
- xattt 6y agoSlightly tangential, but my anecdata suggests that black cats are nicest tempered of all breeds. I wonder if this related to selection pressure. That is, people tended to select other cats that were not black due to superstition until a pleasant demeanour overrode superstitious beliefs.
- 14u2c 6y agoI believe many breeds can have a black coat.
- poulsbohemian 6y agoHere's some anecdata: Our black cat pulled a bait and switch. At the humane society she was a total love. Moment we got her home and since she's turned into a princess who has no interest in affection and will gladly scratch you right after you deliver the treats she requested. On the other hand, we've got an old grey guy and a young calico who won't leave you alone they want so much affection. Point being - it's all about the personality, not the fur. I'll also say fwiw that we notice a significant difference in our females vs males in the attitude department, but again that may be anecdotal.
