Cats aren’t for everyone — the moody furballs always seem to live in dogs’ friendlier shadows. But love ’em or hate ’em, cats play a big role when it comes to the food and drink world, guarding bodegas, breweries and distilleries across the nation. So raise a glass to Corsair’s finest felines, Copper and Pizza, the cats-on-duty at the local distiller’s Wedgewood-Houston and downtown locations, respectively. Because these aren’t just (surprisingly friendly, very photogenic) cats: They are vanquishers of mice and protectors of spirits. ALEJANDRO RAMIREZ
