BROOKLYN HEIGHTS, NY — The good folks behind Brooklyn's first and only cat cafe at 149 Atlantic Ave. continued doing God's work this week when they installed a brand-new live cam in the private living quarters of Jem, Rumple and Jelly, the cafe's month-old kittens, and their endlessly patient mother cat, Grizebella.

Somehow, it's even more mesmerizing than it sounds.

They eat. They sleep. They paw a plastic thingy hanging from the ceiling on a string, which never really 100 percent stops swinging. They play with their mom's tail. They play with each other's tails. They climb on stuff. They break hearts, daily.

In hopes of preserving their childlike innocence a bit longer, cat cafe officials will keep Jem, Rumple and Jelly in their high-security terrarium for about another month before the litter is released to the grabby hands of cafe patrons.

And a few weeks after that, they'll be up for adoption, so if you fall in love by cyber, never fear — you've got a shot IRL.

Most importantly: Want to ensure the Brooklyn Cat Cafe kitten cam never, ever goes dark? That dozens more kittens can be rescued by the cafe, transformed into reality TV stars and adopted out to forever families?

Good. Here's how you can get in on all the God's work going on at 149 Atlantic.
