The Bubble Cat Cafe, a lounge where guests can spend time with cats, is scheduled to open in early June, a company representative said May 28.

Guests will be able to reserve time to spend at the lounge with several cats at the cafe. Walk-ins are also welcome based on availability.

The Bubble Cat Cafe also offers prepackaged snacks and drinks, and the owners hope to expand or relocate to allow for a coffee and boba tea shop.

Some of the cats at the lounge will be available for adoption after the business opens, according to a company Instagram post.

A husband-and-wife-owned business offering website audits and optimization services opened in north Fort Worth.

The overview: Sequel Web Studio recently launched services for small and midsize businesses to improve their online visibility as AI-powered search tools continue to reshape how people find local companies, according to the businesses website.

Joe and Christina Weeks co-founded the company and first started services for family and friends before expanding to the public.

The duo specializes in website optimization for AI-driven platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity AI.

Joe Weeks said many websites built around traditional SEO strategies are no longer optimized for the way AI search engines surface information. Clients work directly with the company’s team rather than outsourced developers or account managers, he said.

Quote of note: The company focuses on transparency, direct communication and performance-driven design, Joe Weeks said.

“Small businesses need resources that keep them visible and successful in the midst of rapidly changing consumer search behavior,” he said.
