    This made me think of the YouTuber who takes his cat for canoe rides.

    Meanwhile, in national parks across the US, park rangers are busy working concession stands and ticket counters.

    I built one of these for my cat

    She’s old and got arthritis, but she’s been getting treatments and is climbing on things again, which warms my hearts to see.

    this isn’t really fixing the problem of people letting their cats roam unsupervised. it’s just bandaiding the problem of wasting money fishing dead pets out of the water.

      Cats are a great way of dealing with the pigeons and rats that are very common in older cities.

      I’m sure there are a lot of feral cats. Tis better to let them climb out then rot in the water.

      Think more wisely.

        didn’t say this was a bad idea, just doesn’t really fix the issue of cats everywhere.

          Cats everywhere, in Amsterdam? Have you been to Amsterdam?

          It’s not Istanbul.
