And now for something completely different (and/or because the gods have decreed that no website is complete without pictures of cats): my friend D took me to a cat café in Xujiahui. In a converted apartment on the second floor of a residential tower, seventeen purring cats (and their minders, who make coffee and other drinks) share their space with purring people (who pet them, feed them and take pictures). I played my part: purr, click!
