People Are Going Crazy Over New York's Cat Cafe

The already popular business of cat cafes - yes, that's a coffeeshop where customers are surrounded by dozens of playful cats - has come to New York.

Purina ONE's cat cafe, a pop-up in the East Village, is open for business today and already attracting a ton of buzz. The cafe will feature experts to discuss cat health and behavior, as well as adoptable kitties from North Shore Animal League America.

The cafe will be open through April 27, so if you're a cat lover, head over soon and join the party.

Here is the buzz on Twitter:
