The Scratching Post CU

Come take a leisurely walk with a bunch of cat nerds and stare at other peoples' cats through their windows. 🪟😻

Don't worry, we'll only be staring at cats who got their permission slips turned in. No stalker vibes. 🕵‍♀️😸

2pm Sunday Oct 11. Meet on west side of Eisner park in Champaign.

You can also still ADD YOUR CAT TO THE MAP. If it fits along the route, we'll add your cats to the walk! FILL OUT THE FORM HERE https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQdIo06Pr9cdL6A_B-gNeCNSzssKWZ6aXN3Zm6vDyJXUYkig/viewform

Can't wait to stroll around with all you crazy cat people!

Tango just arrived about a week ago with Ethan. He's started coming down, exploring and hoarding all of the toys for himself. 🤣

He's just started letting people pet him so if you get some Tango cuddles, you are officially special. 🥰

We're working on getting more pics and hopefully video of him bc Tango has a CRAZY large primordial pouch considering what a small guy he is. That thing just wags around and flaps in the breeze while he walks. 🤣🤣

MAKE A RESERVATION to try and catch a rare Tango pouch sighting. Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

All of these pics are a lie.

We don't have kittens in our lounge bc can you imagine a bunch of unvaccinated, inexperienced fluff balls trying to cat their way up to the rafters? It'd be raining kittens, and not in a good way. 🌧🐱🚫

What we do have are a bunch of pint sized fuzzies under a year.

And you're looking at some of these pics like "OH! Look at that one, so small and sweet and cute!"

LIE!

Opal (gray tabby) is the worst of them. Believe me when I say you cannot handle Opal as an only cat. She's clawing up our pant legs for attention. She's riding around on us while we try to clean like we're an amusement park ride. She's slithering up us and nibbling on our face and head. 🤪 Then you come in after she's worn out and being cuddly. 👶 But you need to be prepared for first-thing-in-the-morning Opal if you're thinking of bringing her home.

Dill (black & white) also really needs a playmate. Zooming around like a crazy person. Parkour is a lifestyle for him. Stock up on spring toys and kickers. And little man prefers the top spot in a cat tree when recharging for his next rampage.

Biscotti (brown tabby) and Cindy (gray) could actually be single cats. Neither of these littles take crap from any of the other cats. Biscotti really doesn't want much to do with the other cats and would prob be happiest with her humans all to herself, but could tolerate other calmer cats in the house. Cindy can throw down with the big guys, but loves to just be a cuddle bug lap cat.

Ethan can't take a normal pic to save his life. 📷🫪🙃

He always looks like he's about to sneeze, blink, bolt, all of the above. His selfie game leaves something to be desired. 😆

We've recently learned that churu treats are a one way ticket to his heart, 💘 so we're working on fully exploiting that to help him feel welcome. 💰 🤗

We're pretty sure we'll be able to win him over but it seems like he would do best in a quieter home with another friendly cat to be his buddy.

MAKE A RESERVATION to watch Ethan be awkward and meet all of our other adoptable lounge cats. Link in bio or https://scratchingpostcu.com/cat-cafe-reservations/

The Orange Bros are back!

Oscar Meyer is over his cold and Sunset might need to transition to a sensitive stomach food, but they're both thrilled to be back in the lounge TOGETHER.

Someone snag this pair of ridiculous bonded bros so they can go home!

Tig with the four little white socks has finally started coming out and exploring the lounge more. 🧦🧦

She's still warming up to us but she's very interested when she sees other cats playing or getting a treat and it's getting harder and harder for her to resist. 👀🐈
