Kittens! Delivered to Your Office!
October 29 is National Cat Day, the best day in all the land
By Lauren Mang October 29, 2014
Last year, I wrote about UberKittens, the one-day on-demand service that brought a bundle of bouncy, darling (and very adoptable!) kittens straight to your office via your Uber app. It was also a grand excuse to show gratuitous photos of my cats, which you’ll now see again below:
UberKittens 2013 was so successful–there were reports that they ran low on fluffy felines–Seattle-based Cheezburger, Uber and the ASPCA are bringing it back for a second run, this time in seven cities as opposed to four. On Wednesday, October 29 (which you must know is National Cat Day), open your Uber app between 12 and 4 p.m. and select the “KITTENS” option to request the sweet babes. For $30, all of which goes directly to local participating shelters, you’ll experience 15 minutes of sheer kitten-playing bliss.
Note: ASPCA volunteers and staff are on hand during each delivery to monitor interactions and the non-profit organization has chosen only healthy kitties who are able to handle social situations for the program.
Want to adopt one? Go for it. All of the UberKittens are in need of a good home. There will be a Seattle magazine office kitten delivery on Wednesday, so follow us on Twitter @Seattlemag for pictures, squees and more photos of various people holding me back from adopting every single one. #uberkittens

Go See Diné Artist Eric-Paul Riege’s Largest Show to Date at the Henry Art Gallery
With a mix of mediums, ojo|-|ólǫ́ examines questions surrounding the authenticity and ownership of Indigenous work.
It’s a phrase that’s been drilled into most of us since we were young children: When you’re visiting a gallery, please, do not touch the art. In many cases, it’s with good reason: the pieces on display are fragile, one-of-a-kind, or historic works that cannot be reproduced. It’s such an ingrained approach to the museum-going…

Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…
