Kittens! Delivered to Your Office!
October 29 is National Cat Day, the best day in all the land
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

According to longtime Seattle choreographer Alana O’Farrell Rogers, a lot. “There’s no dead time anymore,” says Rogers, explaining how the proliferation of smartphones fills the empty spaces that once served as time for rest or connection. Where we snuggled…

Studio Sessions: Christopher Paul Jordan
Drawing on childhood memories, neighborhood history, and salvaged materials, Christopher Paul Jordan’s latest show at Cornish’s Behnke Family Gallery explores how the past stays with us.
Start in the middle. It’s good advice for telling a story, and a way into Christopher Paul Jordan’s paintings. By the time you encounter them, their materials have already been something else, and who knows what they might move on to become. The Tacoma interdisciplinary artist works with salvaged objects, including screens, picture frames, canvas,…
Rearview Mirror: Wedding Bells, A Furniture Launch, and the Symphony’s New Look
Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
WEDDING BELLS I’ve been a bit absent from this column lately, but I think I have a pretty good excuse: I got married! It’s already been three weeks since my September 19 wedding, but I’m still reflecting on the magic of the day. My fiancé, well husband now (I can’t get used to saying it!),…
