Kittenhouse!

It only took a post on Facebook about puppies and kittens in a tent at Rittenhouse for the art department to make our way to the park with the quickness. Sadly, it was nothing like the ballpit of puppies and kittens that I had somehow pictured in my head with free snuggles, but there were some pretty cute puppies and kittens for adoption. There was one cat named Ferguson and he was described as a 'Sophisticated Man Cat'. We liked that. 

There were also a whole lot of plants and weird stuff to buy if you're in the market for plants or weird stuff. I ended up with a t-shirt because I'm an impulse shopper (it says 'Unstoppable'. A man suggested I get a shirt that says "I can't stop buying t-shirts'. He must be able to see inside my soul.)

Also: Kittenhouse, trademark Mackenzie Walker. Also: If we open a gay bar, we're going to call it The Ballpit.
