Best Rafter-Packed Shopping

Kids-N-Cats

Say you're one of the unfortunate ones – you never had a pack-rat grandparent. You don't know what it's like to walk into a room packed to the rafters with stuff. Well, Kids 'n Cats is dedicated to the art of collecting stuff. Curious stuff. They have an excellent collection of animal greeting cards, items like the instant boyfriend (just add water), piles of used books, incense, games, puzzles – you know, stuff. Oh, and there's a real, live, big, fat sleeping cat in there, too, in case you like that sort of thing. Can't afford Disney World this year? Okay, so the place doesn't have Mickey Mouse (their cat would eat him) or any rides, but seriously, take your kid in here to look at the bazillions of items – plenty of them in the $1 range – and we promise you can kill plenty of time and have a great time doing it.
