You know how your cat always seems to stare off into space? Turns all they’ve been looking at Pokemon all this time. Only now has Niantic given us the technology to see them, too.
I like to think the souls of the past lived on in the stray cats inhabiting the remains.
Fun fact: stray cats in Rome are not considered “strays” but “free cats” and they have legal citizenship of the city. They mostly live in the Roman ruins in the city and have legal rights and protection and are taken care of by thousands of specialized volunteers who make sure they’re healthy and fed. A lot of them also get sterilized and there are initiatives to get them adopted.
I guess cats everywhere have a kinship with ancient ruins :)
Last night at 10pm EST, GooglePlay streamed a real life version of their popular phone game “Neko Atsume”, placing cats that looked the same as the one in the game into a room with various toys (also available in-game) and filmed the entire thing live. The overwhelming response from the internet, was a mishmash of several languages in the chat rooms, all cheering for their favorite kitties to do things like jump into nabe pots, hide in boxes, and “NO CREAMY, DON’T EAT THAT PLANT.” The stream ended at 9PM EST this morning. You can rewatch all 11 hours of footage on their youtube, but we stayed up all night like crazy people and screencapped the best parts:
