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

Rearview Mirror: Seattle Art Fair is Back, Nordstrom Throws a Block Party, and a Must-Try Ice Cream Sundae
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
SEATTLE ART FAIR RETURNS The buzziest event of the summer (well, aside from the World Cup), is returning next week. Now in its 10th edition, the Seattle Art Fair will once again take over the Lumen Field Event Center, packing it to the gills with art from 101 local, national, and international galleries.

Studio Sessions: Jennifer Leigh Harrison
Seattle artist Jennifer Leigh Harrison uses layers of paint and abstraction to explore what we carry beneath the surface.
Jennifer Leigh Harrison’s paintings are dense with movement. Color and texture gather into mosaic-like fields, as if they have been fractured and reformed. There are places in the work where a frenetic buzz seems trapped between the canvas and the first layer of paint. That energy runs through Patterns of Belonging, her current exhibition at…
ENHYPEN’s Jay Has K-Pop Stardom and a Seattle Heart
The Federal Way-raised singer talks hometown memories, Ivar’s clam chowder, and how it feels to perform in the place he grew up.
Long before he was performing in sold-out arenas around the world and representing brands like Prada, ENHYPEN’s Jay called the Puget Sound region home. Born Jay Park (not to be confused with the other famous K-pop star of the same name, who is also from Seattle) in Seattle and raised in nearby Federal Way before…
