Theil can't help but bounce as he walks through the street, following the directions on his phone to the new cat cafe that opened near him. He always loved cats but his roommate was allergic so he could never get one. His eyes widen as he hits the right street, seeing the building he finally puts his phone away and jogs up to the entrance.
The cafe itself is covered in a variety of light and dark greens, making it look almost like a comfortable forest. Inside Theil see's instead of normal cats, eight humanoid cat hybrids who are lounging about on massive cat towers and in cat beds.
Theil blushes for a moment before he enters, shaking his head before opening the door. He steps inside while trying to hide his obvious staring at the cat people, as he walks up to the counter and sits down in a seat.
A human woman with bright purple hair, dressed in a pair of blue overalls slides up across from Theil. Flashing him a wide smile. "Welcome to the Pine Tree Cat Cafe! Are you here for a stay?"
"um yes I guess I am, I was coming in to see what this place was like but I wasn't... expecting to see human cat people." Theil blushes again, looking at the woman curiously. "I guess I'm wondering what exactly this place is about? And are they in suits?"
"I mean you're at a cat cafe, for all your relaxation needs." The woman reaches down behind the bar, grabbing a tea cup and a hot pot of water. "Now what flavors do you like in your tea?"
"Oh just some green tea, that sounds really nice. So I can just relax here, and talk with the cat people? That doesn't sound that bad, any recommendations on which 'cat' I should relax with?" He looks out across the room, watching the different people lounging and relaxing.
"Well Sally is always a crowd favorite for newcomers." The woman gestures to a bright green cat girl, dressed in a pair of cat print pajamas. She's laying on a large cat bed, rolling around and purring wildly. "Give me a moment and your tea will be ready."
"Alright, well then I will chat with Sally once I have my tea. Thank you very much." Theil smiles as he waits for his tea, watching Sally lounge in the cat bed. His face turning redder as he starts to envy her position, allowed to just lay about all without care.
After a few moments the woman presses a cup of tea over to Theil. "Here you go dear, just make sure you drink it all and don't give any to the cats. They only get some at play time." She chuckles lightly, giving him a gentle pat on the back.
Theil takes the drink and starts to sip it, nodding. "Thank you, I'll make sure to remember that." Theil then stands and makes his way over to the cat bed, sitting down next to Sally. "Hello, your Sally right? I'm Theil and was wondering if I could sit here with you?"
Sally rolls over, rumbling lightly as she looks at Theil. "Only if you're good at snuggling." She smiles lightly, her voice a rumbling purr. "Just finish the tea first, don't wanna worry about spilling it on my bed."
Theil nods and downs the rest of the tea, smiling softly. "Well, I'm done with the tea. And I'm great at snuggling, so that's no problem." Theil flops back into the bed, pulling Sally down with him and pressing her against him. "There, how's that?"
"Purrrfect." Sally nuzzles her cheek up against Theil as her tail sways from one side to another. Theil able to feel a deep relaxed warmth spreading from his gut. "I'm happy you've chosen to stay with us, it's rare we get new volunteers."
"Volunteer? I'm just here to visit... but I feel very nice... and relaxed..." Theil leans into Sally, rubbing her fur and belly as the warmth spreads. "I... don't think I can stay... I have work and stuff to do..."
