Cool Cat Collective on Retro Row is waging war against so-called “A.I. slop” with an army of hand-drawn cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re also trying to reduce the stray cat population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday, the cat-themed gift shop will hold its second annual Cat Zine festival, featuring roughly 250 zines \u2014 mini magazines \u2014 from artists all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
