You know there’s that cat you see on the way to the bus stop — the one that rolls around on the foot­path and lets you tick­le his bel­ly, and you’ve nick­named him Cap­tain Choi­cepants? Well, that’s a neigh­bour­hood cat.

Inspired by the Neigh­bour Cats zines, Petra Jane has cre­at­ed a pub­lic Google map of neigh­bour­hood cats around Welling­ton and beyond.

So if there’s a fur­ry rogue in your ‘hood, add it to the map!

UPDATE: The Neigh­bour­hood Cats map has been shut down. Could this be to foil poten­tial cat­nap­pers? Oh well — you’ll just have to cre­ate a map in your mind.
