There are so many places in the world that it’s impossible to properly see them all in a single lifetime. How, in a world of great cities and historically important sites, natural wonders and gorgeous landscapes, do you decide where to go? Well, you say fuck all of that other stuff and make a little Taiwanese town filled with cats the top priority.
Journalist Kirsten Han recently shared photos of this location, an idyllic place outside of Taipei called Houtong Cat Village where many, many cats hang around just sort of doing cat things. Han’s first crop of photos were soon followed by a request for more, which, luckily, she obliged. There are cats lying in bushes, cats playing with toy fish, wall drawings and statues celebrating cats, cats sitting on motorcycles, and one cat mysteriously wearing a puffy vest.
