Breaking: The first real, actual cat has been spotted at Meow Parlour. Bowery Boogie snapped the above photo, which proves that NYC's first cat café is not, in fact, just one long, glorious dream.

While reservations, which are available for up to five hours at a time, have been booked through January 8th (and broke the internet in the process), when Meow Parlour opens next Monday, prepare your eyeballs for many, many more delightful cat photos like this one. Or, you know, just quit your job this second and work there instead.
