A Place to Get Drunk and Adopt?

My sister sent me an article about this "business establishment," in downtown Charlotte. About a cat "cafe." Let's redefine that: it entails a place where you get drunk around homeless cats. What the fuck? Luckily it's around reputable establishments like a place called Dragon Moonshine Company.
The thing that drives me crazy about this is the entire business is intellectually dishonest. The saddest part is the cats are the victims. Just think for a moment, what kind of responsible pet owner either gets or leaves their pet around random people? This is aside from completely disregarding leaving a pet around drunk people - and not only that - but PAYING them to do so.
But that's not all, you actually have to sign a "waiver" that basically christens you as a full fledged hipster - so you can even be in the same room as these cats. "This waiver states that you respect the well being of cats and humans alike." Who wouldn't want to sign a document to hang out with homeless animals? Apparently they also import their beverages so I'm not even really sure what this business offers other than douchey hipster culture with a hint of cat urine.
(But they need the help of local musicians apparently - the best business minds).
The burberry glasses, deliberate gristle & a flannel are so over the top I think this time, I've driven myself over a philosophical cliff...
...Maybe now, I need the reality check.
