Cat-mosphere of Kindness

Anytime I cook or bake for someone I ask for their honest feedback because "Lying to me to save my feeling could cost me more than hurt feelings in the long run". What that means is, if I make something that isn't worthy of being purchased, and I don't know, I cant improve the product. That being said, of course it doesn't feel good when you put all your effort into something and its not well received, but being a grown ass woman, I understand that I am not perfect. I have room to improve and so do my recipes. God I sound mature. 

I also have absolutely NO desire to cater to simps with the palate of a spoiled toddler. If 90% of my test subjects have no problem with my product and then you have that one person that wants their Skinny Vanilla Mocha Latte Half Caf with Foam at exactly 98 degrees... I have ZERO problem telling them "Bye". Therefore I have made two mission statements, one for the business plan, the website and the people and one for just Kiki and I. 

The public Mission Statement: To provide a cat-mosphere of kindness by nourishing the souls and the bodies of the community.  

Bonus Mission Statement: If you want to complain about something in OUR establishment, you can leave cause FUCK you this is OUR business. Kiki, show em the door.

Kiki's Kool Kats and Koffee Kafe




When: Last week, maybe 2 weeks ago, maybe when I was a baby - time has been moving differently since 2020 came into our lives.
The Players: My Kiki, my baby girl, my daughter
The scene: I was cruising the inter-webs and she knows me and my ways, let me tell you. Mother Explorer submitted for my approval, a picture of a cat walking on a bookshelf and I thought to myself "YES! I want a working kitty!" 

I immediately sent my middle heart a message and said something to the effect of: 'Would you want to own a book store or a coffee shop?' Because I thought that these would be the places a cat would be welcome and I also know that my little doesn't love what she is doing at the moment (day care provider). She came back to me with some wisdom, 'its not a good time to start a business, a lot of businesses are going bankrupt right now.' She's so smart. But then, later that day, she messaged me and told me 'I want to own a Cat Café, because I want to own 20 cats' I'm paraphrasing, I'll make sure to add screen shots so you can see the exact way it went down.  



Fast Forward to me waking up for work and seeing this message: 




That's the moment I knew that there was no mix up at the hospital. That's the moment I knew this little human had sprang from my loins and might actually be my clone as so many people have claimed. 

Today I told my bebe that by July 2022 I want Kiki's Kool Kats and Koffee Kafe to be up and running. 

Oh, and OF COURSE Mayim Bialik took our idea and made a show of it.
