OMG Kitteh! Iz Wurking Gurl! So apparently there are now "cat cafes" in Japan where you can pay a few dollars and soak up some kitteh love.

And apparently, there is a giant, mouldering pink bunny on a hillside somewhere in Italy.

For quite some time I've wanted to open up a restaurant that sold soporific food and had an adjoining napping parlor with staff who are really great at waking people up after they sleep off lunch; perhaps the cat idea could be folded into the napping parlor. The place could have cats that were specially chosen for their cuddling abilities (or for a propensity to stand on sleeper's chests to wake them). I mean, the place names itself: Catnap Cafe.

I've also often wondered whether anyone ever tried living in that big pink bunny.

I've spent a lot of time in airports over the years and after seeing this I can't help but think in a busy airport a small quite place with a few dogs and cats and big comfy chairs would be a winner.

If I was at O'Hare or Logan or LAX I'd pay $10 for a nice cup of tea and 30 minutes to just relax and scratch some lazy kitties and happy doggies.

Big Pink Bunny lies a-mould'ring in the grave,
Mould'ring in the grave,
Mould'ring in the grave...

On that note, I think it's bedtime for bōzu.

I'll leave you with another nursery rhyme:

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Itsuka no yume no sora no yō ni
Haretara kin no suzu ageyo

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Watashi no negai wo kiita nara
Amai o-sake wo tanto nomasho

Teru-teru-bōzu, teru bōzu
Ashita tenki ni shite o-kure
Moshi mo kumotte naitetara
Sonata no kubi wo chon to kiru zo

I think the idea of a chat with a puppy in an airport is amazing. It would certainly lower my blood pressure when traveling. But.

I can't help thinking this would be stressful for the critters, having all those stressed-out strangers around. Anxious dogs are misbehaving dogs, not happy lap-sitting, nap-taking dogs. I'd just feel sorry for them.

young lady, you've obviously not been reading the memos: cute doubles are doublecute, and a bunny badge of honor. Specifically, this one, apparently:
