When we plan a trip somewhere, obviously, we’re excited to go there. We have some idea of what we’ll see there, though there will always be things out of our control. That’s part of what makes going on trips so fun!
For example, maybe you plan a trip to The Great Wall of China. It’s one of those things everyone says you need to see, and you’re super excited. But then you get there… And a very cute orange cat totally steals the spotlight:
According to @schyline20, this is one of the main reasons he’d go back to this wonder of the world. There are no other posts about this cat or his trip to the Great Wall, but this is definitely enough. Everyone is totally eating it up!
In the comments, people are sharing pictures of their own experiences with stray cats in the same place: it’s a common thing! This particular cat is winning hearts, though, with people saying things like, “this cat: ‘all these people are here for me?'”

Stray cats will literally go just about anywhere, and the fact that they’ve made there way to The Great Wall of China makes perfect sense. Consider that:

-
The view is incredibly far and wide.
-
This wall is over 2,000 years old and has plenty of nooks and crannies.
-
Heavy tourist foot traffic means lots of people to give you snacks.
The cats who live there have it pretty good. Plus, they get the endless adoration of people who come to visit. What could be better?
