In this world, there are unusual sights that would bewilder your senses and stupefy your logical mind. One of those is a thing called a cat cafe. It sounds fake, and to make a Portlandia joke at this point would just be cliche. But they are real; they even have a Wikipedia page.
As you probably have never even heard of a cat cafe, let alone visited one, GM should explain. It’s a cafe that has cats. Ok, maybe that was self-evident. What’s perplexing is why they open and how they pass health inspections. (Questions the Post has tried to answer.)
Which is all a long segue into the news: DC’s first cat cafe is coming to Georgetown. The Post interviewed the owner, Kanchan Singh, last week about her plans to open Crumbs and Whiskers. But when pressed to reveal the location, she wouldn’t budge:
Where are you in the process? Have you signed a lease on a place?
We’ve basically signed on the place, we’re not advertising it yet because a legally bound document has not been signed yet.
Can you tell me the general neighborhood?
I can’t.
What about the quadrant?
I’m just going to say D.C. for now.
The agenda for the Board of Zoning and Adjustment, though, is less private:
18954 Application of Crumbs & Whiskers
Case # : 18954 Case Name : Application of Crumbs & Whiskers Case Summary : (Special Exceptions) Establish an animal boarding use for cats in the C-2-A at 3211 O St. NW. ANC : 2E Result :
This is the space of O St. next to English Rose Garden that was most recently home to a palm reader.
The Ramones once said, “New York City really has it all”. Were they still around today, would they not now say the same of Georgetown?
