The York Cat Trail! #YORK #YORKSHIRE

The York Cat Trail is a walking route around York city centre, it features a wide variety of cat statues which have been placed on the buildings.

For this video, i set out to find and film as many of the kitties as possible, in the end i didn't have time to see them all, but i was able to capture a large number, so come and join me as i search for the kitty cat statues of York!

Statues of cats have been placed on buildings in York for around two Centuries, although statues since removed or rotted are thought to date from medieval times. The original cat statues were placed on buildings to frighten away rats and mice which can carry plague and illness. They were also thought to ward off wandering evil spirits and generally to bestow good luck and good health on citizens who needed feline friends to ensure a good night’s sleep in old and temptingly chewy timber framed buildings!
