About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Wax That Cat beauty salon, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he walked out of the shop, he spotted an old, dusty canister on the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained not wax or polish, but dozens of tiny cat-shaped hair clips. A delivery driver arrived later with a crate full of cat toys and treats. Turns out, the owner had a soft spot for felines. Word spread quickly, and soon Wax That Cat became known as ‘The Furry Parlour’—where humans got their hair done, and cats got their playthings.
2. At Wax That Cat beauty salon, a little girl walked in with her mother and stopped dead in her tracks. The scent of waxing products filled the air, but what caught her eye was a life-sized cat statue, its fur glistening under the lights. She turned to her mom, wide-eyed: ‘Mommy, why is there a real-looking cat here?’ Her mom smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s just a sculpture.’ But as they approached the counter, the stylist—a friendly old lady—looked up and said cheerfully, “And how can I make your feline friend purr today?” Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who finally realized it wasn’t a real cat after all.
3. A delivery driver pulled up outside Wax That Cat one afternoon, frowning as he eyed the strange contraption on the sidewalk. Curious, he got out and approached the device—a large wooden cat with a wax potion dispensing from its paw. ‘What in tarnation…’ muttered the driver, shaking his head. Just then, an old lady hobbled by, smiling warmly. ‘Oh, don’t mind it,’ she said. ‘It’s just our new neighborhood beautician.’
4. At Wax That Cat beauty salon, one day an unusual announcement came over the speakers during the lunch hour. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ said the voice, ‘we apologize for any inconvenience, but our waxing specialist has been detained for a haircut.’ Soon enough, everyone in line started giggling—especially when a delivery driver asked if he could get his package delivered to ‘the guy with the cat’s fur.’ The laughter continued until finally, the stylist emerged, sporting a perfect new doo. A relieved sigh went around the room as customers realized they’d only be waiting a few more minutes after all.
