Tourists are reportedly flocking to a Taiwanese coal-mining town to tickle some of its 100 cats with feather-tipped sticks.
While just 200 people live in Houtong, cat-loving tourists are said to be descending upon the town to buy feline-related souvenirs and catch a glimpse of the stray cats, which love to be tickled.
One visitor from Tapei said: "It was more fun than I imagined. The cats were clean and totally unafraid of people. I'll definitely return."
The former industrial town was going through economic decline until it reinvented itself as a cat-lover's haven and it is now hoped Houtong will carve out its future as a tourist resort.
