I’ll have a grande caramel macchiato and your cutest cat, to go. Whether your Monday is just beginning, or you’re already partway through and starting to flag, here’s a little pick-me-up for you!
Some of us need a shot of coffee to get them going in the morning, and for others there’s nothing that sets the day off like a few silly cat videos. So logically the ultimate Monday morning kickstart would be a super-combo of cat plus coffee. Japanese Twitter user @tamio_snow delivers the goods with extra cuteness factor in the form of Puss-in-Boots level googly eyes.
I literally can’t think of a better way to start my morning. Can anyone tell me where I can the Starbucks that’s serving these?!
Have a great week, everyone!
