Ferals in a Miniature Park
Karen Nichols

The following video was sent in to The Cat’s Meow with the following note of explanation:

This is a colony of ferral cats living in a miniatures theme park who are thriving despite opposition (Italian society is very polarized about cats, and park workers complain about them) thanks to a passionate owner of the park. A calendar published for the last two years and now this video have turned difficult situation into an asset.

So grab a double espresso and some biscotti, and enjoy!

    The miniatures are so realistic it was really surprising to see the “giant” cats roaming around!

    MOL!! That was a great video. My favorite was at the 2:02 mark where you just see paws kneading the little people.

    I see the cars aren’t glued down, but the people must be. This was really cute, and they look like healthy kitties!

    Oh, how wonderful that they get such a great place to roam in and play in, and it’s obvious that whoever was taking the video was well-trusted to some extent.

    I want to play in the Coliseum! It looks like a giant ball-in-track!

    Thanks for the comments. In response to Chelsea Louise, we have an arrangement with a veteranarian who cares for them, and they are fixed. Despite our efforts to keep the population of cats stable, once or twice a year people abandon their cats at the park, or strays wander into the territory and stay. Everybody wants to get into the show biz!
