Cat lovers take to the streets of Somerville for a neighborhood tour

SOMERVILLE, Mass. —

SATURDAY? It was more like a Cat-urday in Somerville, Massachusetts, as hundreds of people traveled to the Boston suburbs to support feline friends.

More than 1,200 people have reserved tickets for the second annual Somerville Cat Tour, a walking tour of the neighborhood where attractions feature cats in windows, on porches and at their front doors.

The event was free, but organizers accepted donations for the Broken Tail Rescue cat adoption center in Cambridge.

Attractions included Mr. Po, who was famous in the neighborhood for entering different apartments.

The tour lasted from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., with a “Nine Lives Afterparty” held afterwards at Perry Park.

As expected, no dogs were allowed on the tour.
