A Dogged Cat

Fans of the popular Lost Dog Cafe (and cat lovers, too) have a reason to purr. Dog's long-awaited feline companion, Stray Cat Cafe, is now open and thriving a few doors down in the same Westover strip.  The walls are lined with cat art and portraits of felines from the owners' animal rescue foundation that are looking for a home. As you nibble on your Mouse Catchers (a kitty-pretty renaming of Dog's addictive Dog Collar Onion Rings), you may discover a friend.

As for the menu, while the Cat does not have the wonderfully extensive pizza offerings of its canine neighbor, it does feature unique sandwiches and relatively healthy platters of fish and chicken. I recommend the veggie burger with curly fries and a smoothie. Finally, Cat has a nice wine selection and a full liquor license that licks Dog's offering of beer and wine only. Don't get too frisky, though. The stringent three-drink maximum applies to Cat people, too.
