Stray Cats Find Drain Pipe Holes And Now They Are Having The Time Of Their Life

ADVERTISEMENT

A Japanese photographer named Nyan Kichi dedicates a good chunk of his time out and about on the streets, capturing the beauty of stray cats – and there’s one particular spot with drain pipe holes that he loves to go.

There, he can find loads of strays who treat the area with lots of pipe holes as their playground. See, those kitties don’t need fancy and expensive toys to have some fun.

But, if you think they would eventually get bored of jumping in and out of the holes – think again. The photographer even got himself a prop to tease them with – and now the whole scene looks just like the Whack-a-Mole game.

To follow these energetic and athletic strays of the Japanese streets, make sure to check the photographer’s Instagram page.

My own cat loved to pop in and out of an abandoned rabbit warren near my house.

You must not have ever owned a cat before. A feral cat is rather good at taking care of themselves depending on the area. Birds, rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, etc. Cats can hunt and eat all of them, unless declawed. Water isn't hard to find, except in desert. Which is why they thrive and spray/neuter release programs exist. Maybe educate yourself?

When I was in Japan, a stray cat dies in a pipe hole... actually a kitten. She was the runt, and it was too late when I found her. 😢

It doesn't look super safe. Fun maybe but safe, not so sure.
