Cat cafes are so 2017 -- Gus Kenworthy miles ahead of us with his visit to a raccoon cafe.
Kenworthy competed in slopestyle skiing for Team USA in Pyeongchang for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Although his events are over, the Olympian stopped in South Korea's capital to visit Seoul's Blind Alley, a cafe where customers can hang out with raccoons, corgis, and a capybara.
SEE ALSO: Crying rooms in Japan are real and they're spectacularHe posted photos from his visit -- complete with a cuddly albino raccoon -- with the caption "they really do love trash!"
They really do love trash! 😂 This raccoon cafe was honestly the highlight of my trip to Korea so far (no offense Olympics)!🗑️🐼
(Note that Kenworthy won a silver medal for freestyle skiing during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, so he's pretty far from trash.)
People were pretty jealous that Kenworthy got to hold a raccoon.

He also tweeted this relatable poster from the cafe, that reminds patrons that the raccoon is a boy and isn't pregnant -- "He is just fat."

Although the photos are adorable, there have been a few notcute reviews of the cafe.
Wildlife experts say that the animals don't belong in such close contact with humans, and that it's unhealthy for them. As the Dodoreports, even if the raccoons were saved from a fur farm, they belong in a wildlife sanctuary instead of surrounded by selfie sticks.
In more positive news, Kenworthy shared this inspiring moment with his partner, which was captured on TV. Kenworthy came out after his silver medal win in Sochi, and this is the first Olympics he's competed in while openly gay.

"Being here now, out and proud and living my life authentically," he wrote on Instagram, "I'm walking away more fulfilled without a medal than I did at the last Games with one."
