Here’s a real-life motivational poster for you. Spotted in the Katsushika ward of Tokyo, this little kitty was precariously clinging to a small wall just as those crazy Google cameras came rolling by. Now he is forever immortalized on Google Maps, able to be seen by billions of people around the world.
The cat may be hard to see, so let’s zoom in for a closer look:
Now that we’ve seen him up-close, the cat could just be in a perfectly timed mid-jump. Taking a look at the wall from a different angle, the cat seems to have disappeared from the scene.
We may never know if this cat really was holding on to the wall, but we like to think that he saw the Google Maps car approaching and decided to strike a pose. If you want to find the exact location or continue to poke around the clinging kitty’s neighborhood, check it out here:
