Some argue that the city has gone to the dogs, but they’re wrong. It’s gone to the cats.

Seattle’s City Hall was taken over by kittens during Friday’s lunch hour attracting a massive line of downtown workers and residents looking for a fur-fix.

A tent was set up on City Hall property and filled with kittens who were then made available to play with. The kitten tent is a promotion for Seattle Animal Shelter’s adoption program.

City Hall was renamed Kitty Hall for the event. There is no word yet on nominations for Kitty Council.
