Tourism bosses in Japan have come up with an idea to get cat-lovers to visit the city Onomichi, which is famous for its 150,000 felines.Â
You can now stroll the streets of Japan as a cat with a new online map - called Cat Street View.
They hope that the cat's eye map tool will increase tourism to the city, "We decided to focus on cats because they know everything about the city, including the back streets," a tourism spokesman told AFP.
The map lets you explore the city as Lala, a fluffy kitty with emerald-coloured eyes, who lives with local hair salon owner.
So far, the map just covers two streets, but they are going to expand its reach by using a camera attached to a stick that hovers eight inches above the ground so that are able to see the city from a cat's perspective.
