A C.A.T.S. Tale
By Pamela Bomser Stern

CATS, AKA Children’s Athletic Training School & Center for Adult Sports, located at 235 East 49th Street, is a bustling, progressive center of energy and exuberance specializing in the comprehensive development of athletic skills, confidence, self-esteem, fair play and sportsmanship in young children. Co-founder Butch Seewagen, a former world class tennis professional, along with his sister and partner Barbara Steger, a former teacher and top-ranked Eastern Singles and Doubles tennis player have created a safe and innovative place for our children to play, socialize, dance and gain knowledge. CATS offers a myriad of programs as well as martial arts for children ages 1 – 10. In-house are classrooms, a 2000-foot gym, dance studio, outdoor space, and party rooms, along with aqua-CATS swimming at St. Bart’s Church on East 50th Street. The center has been noted twice in the “best bets” page of New York Magazine and is home to a number of celebrities’ offspring. And there is more – that is for those of us over 10 years old who enjoy massage, Bikram yoga, facials, scalp treatment and cleansing programs. There is even an on-site Ayurvedic consultant and Board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner. Even the dads are enjoying themselves at CATS.
