Cat ladies and cat lovers, are you ready for the new cat café in Carrollwood?

Feline is located at 12924 North Dale Mabry in Tampa. It's truly the cat café you've been waiting for. If you're ready to book you kitty rezy, you can do so. You pay 15 dollars for 30 minutes or 25 bucks for an hour. And you don't always have to pre-book. Walk-ins are purr-fect, too. This cool kitty place is open noon-10pm Tuesday through Sunday.

Enjoy cuddling with the cats and tapas, adult beverages (beer and wine), and/or coffee. What else could you ask for?

Let me help you imagine what this cat café looks like. There are themed rooms to choose from. If you want to chill in a modern motif or something more vintage, there is a room for you. Or maybe you'd like a room with a little boho flair while you hang with the cool cats.

If you're one of those people who thinks they may fall in love with a kitty and want to take one home, that's definitely an option. Talk about a cool cat café collaboration. Feline is teamed up with St. Francis Society Animal Rescue to foster cats at the café. Or maybe you'd like to eventually adopt one of the cutie cats. That's an option, too. This Carrollwood cat cafe is a dream for cat lovers.

The 7 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants In The Tampa Bay Area

It's always on dog-parent's mind whenever they go out. Can I bring my dog? With so many outdoor restaurants in the Tampa Bay area, a lot of places are accommodating to our four-legged babies. Some even have canine-friendly food on their menu. Whether you want to be near downtown Tampa or by the beach in St. Pete, we have the list of places to bring along your best friend.

We also have a list of the best dog bars in the Tampa Bay area. A lot of those places don't serve food but occasionally have food trucks. Also, dog bars may also require you register your dog to make sure they are healthy and non-aggressive. The best part about taking your pup to a dog-friendly restaurant is that you don't have to worry about that.

We went to Yelp to see what their recommendations are for the best dog friendly restaurants in Tampa Bay. They had a list of 10 places but we condensed it to our favorite 7 spots (and added a few of our own favorite places.) Another great hack is to download the BringFido app. This app will tell you any dog-friendly restaurant or hotel in your current area.
