Wise beyond his years, Jean Clawed is ready to teach you the ancient ways of the black cat.

Spends more time than we'd like in our litter room just hanging out and supervising our cleaning. 😆

Pretty unflappable, loves to wrestle with other cats, playful, loves being pet, loves just being around whatever you're doing.

MAKE A RESERVATION to meet this big hunk of cat along with all of our other adoptable lounge cats. Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

We have a Lynx Point Siamese in the lounge, folks. 😱 😻

This is Sparks. She has been in our lounge for a while and is just starting to come out of the rafters during quieter hours.

She does have blue eyes but her pupils are always super dilated in the lounge from being overstimulated.

She is VERY food motivated so we've been working on her socialization and we'll give it a few more weeks but she will likely need a foster or foster-to-adopt situation so she can be in a calmer envirnment.

She is very sweet and calm, loves bird tv, and LOVES wet food and churu treats.

We've seen another cat come through the lounge that had a very similar personality. The other cat took about two months to settle into their home, but now sleeps on her humans and loves playing with her new siblings.

Sparks needs someone who is willing to give her time to settle in and work with her to win her over.

Our third round of Blood on the Clocktower is scheduled!

Our resident storyteller will guide you through the entire game experience.

Blood on the Clocktower is a social game played in person, seated in a circle. Each player receives either a 'good' or 'evil' token with their unique character on it.

Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know.

The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

RESERVE YOUR SPOT Event calendar link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/event/blood-on-the-clocktower-2/

Another newer cat in the lounge, Eevie aka Elvira: Histress of the Dark. 🧛‍♀️😼

Eevie likes to pose like one of those black cat decorations you see everywhere during Halloween. 🐈‍⬛🎯

Gets a little hissy when another cat invades her personal space, which is adorable considering how small she is, 😆 but she's super friendly and affectionate with humans.

Cedric just landed in the lounge yesterday and immediately made himself at home. Zero adjustment time needed.

We don't know what happened to his stripes, but we suspect he's been dabbling in the dark arts again. 🧙‍♂️🙀
