Over 100 people participated in a https://www.today.com/pets/cat-tour-toronto-rcna172467 cat tour to admire 21 neighborhood cats in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday, September 8. Footage of the event filmed and posted by Laura Newman went viral with over 4 million views on https://www.tiktok.com/@lauranewman57/video/7412730331352042757?_r=1&_t=8pzxHkNhcpK TikTok . The video shows a large group of people making stops along Davenport Road in Toronto, where residents were proudly showing off their feline companions. Featured cats were a hairless cat named "William," and a duo named "Gravy and Cheese." "I stumbled upon the Toronto Cat Tour," Newman told Storyful. "We joined the group that was walking around the neighborhood to see cats who had been signed up as part of the tour." Natalie Czerwinski, the https://www.today.com/pets/cat-tour-toronto-rcna172467 creator of the tour, wrote on https://www.instagram.com/p/DAEH-efPHad/?hl=en&img_index=1 Instagram that she singlehandedly planned the event with a budget of around $100, after being inspired by a similar cat tour in Minneapolis. Czerwinski encouraged people to start their own local cat tours. "It's our shared responsibility to make the places we live cool and fun for ourselves," wrote Czerwinski.
