"Last week, the owners of Austin’s Blue Cat Cafe confirmed the closure of their business, Austin’s first and only cat cafe on 95 Navasota Street. The cafe, where cat lovers could drink coffee and play with or adopt cats, became a point of major gentrification contention in the East Austin area since it opened in October 2015. It officially closed in November 2018, but owners claim to be “reopening soon,” according to their Facebook page." - Nadia Chaudhury
