Cat floods cat café, forces it to close

To quote from a report out of Virginia:

The Purrfect Bean, Richmond's cat cafe, will be closed for the rest of the year after a "series of freak accidents" caused the restaurant to flood.

Those accidents involved a towel, a sink and a cat named Roller, according to the cafe.

"First and most importantly, the cats are all safe and unharmed," the cafe wrote on Instagram. "They were all lounging and safe on the furniture although some of them enjoyed splashing around in the water."


The café has since added this update:

We will have to redo the entire flooring and bathroom in the cat lounge, along with the ceilings and walls in our cafe area. We still have to determine the damage to our equipment which could extend our closure even more if we need to replace things like our espresso machine and grinder. The damage realistically will cause us to be closed for at least the rest of the year.
