one of my dream business ideas is a half cat cafe half art gallery combo named something like “Cats Of The Forbidden Realm” and it’s mostly all modern and clean with like natural lighting and pastel colors with chairs that are shaped like cats and tables with cutesy cats drawn on them and cat shaped sandwiches and bright pretty toys for all the cats and shelves for them to climb on and etc. (as a cat cafe should be) but then the bright happy cleanliness is juxtaposed with the gallery of images displayed on the walls which are all like, anatomically off or otherwise offputting and strange looking portrayals of cats, like people can display their art to be sold in the cafe but only if it looks unusual in a way that makes it slightly unsettling, so it’s like a typical cutesy cat cafe but also incorporating my usual admiration of surreal and somewhat ominous cat depictions (like the ones above for example)... trulye a dream job

#godd i lov them #all images of cats and also all real cats and also all furniture or food that is cat themed #ive collected a lot of cat themed merchandise over the years especially since i 99% of the time shop in thrift stores and secondhand places #where theyre more likely to have weird knicknacks and my favorites in my collection are always the Slightly Off ones #like that fncnking thing i have on my wall where it's two nice looking kittens but the front one's head is way too big and his paws are #like these fatt clubs lmao #i also have a cat candle that isnt bad in the same way but is curreal in a more artistic way but a cool one #and a placemat i got at a dollar store that is really weird?? like it's pink and blue pwprints on a white background #with six floating kitten heads placed around in a pattern #which isnt that weird for like a poster but for a placemat?? like somethign you put ona diniing table to put your plates on???lol #i have it on my wall like a poster but it;s still very weird to me that that was a placemat idea #anyway godddbbb #if i was un-disabled enough to work a lot or if i was born richer (or both) i would 100% really love to like...start or work at a cat cafe #but ESPECIALLY one themed exactly the way i want it #they have one here in portland but i hate hate the theme and design #like EVERYTHING in portland it feels too homey and i hate homey i want sterile and modern and clean and pastel lol #with the exception of fantasy spaces and also surreal decorating styles where a more dark toned/thrown together feel is okay #but i have a specifc dislike for like... the portland brand of homey and causal that like everywhere has #in the style of a true emotionally blunted asocial hermit ... the more inviting a place is the more uncomfortable it makes me and coldness #and sterility make me super comfortable lmao (like... i fnfjnk love hospitals...beauntifulle) but anyway not that i would want th cafe to #be as sterile like more warm pastels but definitely bright and clean rather than vintagey and darker or neutral #exaCEPT the paintings can be any color and would all be put in like unsettling antique frames #also i would hope I could find some ridiculous old scultpures and misc things that look ominous and old as well to keep w/ the paintings #a Goode Mix to throw off the whole aesthetic and only add to the lovably offputting nature of the images #aaaaaaaaa #if you live in oregon and are also rich and want to start a cat cafe.... hmu lmao
