Obey the Cat Street LightsStreet Art Utopia passes along this image from Zelenogradsk, Russia. That’s a coastal town in the Kaliningrad exclave. We are, of course, required to obey our cats. We must stop when they tell us to stop and go when they tell us to go. Whether cats would obey these street lights is another question.Zelenogradsk, we are informed by the dubious news site The Moscow Times, is known for its cats. The city government put up these lights in 2019, built a statue to honor cats, and added a “chief cat” to the city staff in a concerted effort to brand itself as the “city of cats”.#Russia #cats
