Cat vs Cafe (50/50)
Feel the Music: Review of Mewsic Kitty Cafe
A cat cafe is a themed concept, but sometimes these feline emporiums offer an additional theme based upon the city, region or area.
Mewsic Kitty Cafe is amongst the coolest themed cat cafes I’ve had the privilege of visiting.
Nashville’s famed moniker is Music City, owing to its long history in music publishing and as a crossroads for all types of music, not just country but also bluegrass, jazz and gospel. Mewsic Kitty taps into those entertainment roots with a honky tonk vibe- neon, a Johnny Cash mural and musical instruments as decor- all serve to liven your experience. Of course, like any good speakeasy, there are also a few dark corners for you to brood while sharpening your songwriting skills.
Every detail is perfection- right down to the microphone stand that doubles as the check-in station. I was completely charmed.
We came during a rare slow hour and Jessica, our kind host, offered a personal introduction to all the cats. I love hearing the backstory on the kitties and Jessica obliged by providing all of their names (feline derivations of famed singers and musicians like Cat Benetar, Kitty Pickler, Minnie Ripurrton and Yoko Meowno) and details on their history.
Opened in April, 2018 by Maegan Phan and in partnership with Nashville Cat Rescue, Mewsic Kitty had facilitated 115 adoptions in just one year’s time, a huge accomplishment! There were seventeen cats in residence the day of my visit. Some of my favorites were handsome Russian Blue Castillo, Pete, a slinky ginger with the best poses and pretty fair lady Grace. They were energetic and full of personality which made for an entertaining and lighthearted hour.
We were so infatuated with the the cats that we failed to fully appreciate the cafe side of things, but everything looked wonderful with coffee by Bongo Java served with a variety of gluten-free and vegan baked goods.
Between the fun environment, great conversation with Jessica and loads of the kitty love, we were on top of the world by the time we departed. If you are in town for the full Nashville experience, dare I say it won’t be complete until you have checked Mewsic Kitty off your list.
