“I love to do weird, goofy stuff like this,” said John Edwards, who organizes the yearly event.
By Sydney Page, The Washington PostPeople on the cat tour visiting David Montgomery’s cats, Coda and Margeaux. John Edwards thought it would be hilarious — and somewhat ridiculous — to lead a walk through his Minneapolis neighborhood admiring the many felines that live there.
Edwards — who runs a hyperlocal media publication called Wedge Live — never anticipated his cat tour concept would catch on. But people loved it and wanted more, so Edwards began organizing an annual cat tour.“It was a joke, and now it’s real,” said Edwards. “I just thought it would be a funny theme for an event, and it turned into a thing hundreds and hundreds of people wanted to come to.”Edwards, left, leading the 2024 cat tour, with Ryan Brown, who helped organize the event.
Other people love it, too. While the cat tour is mainly attended by locals, some travel from surrounding suburbs — or farther — to be there. While many cats remain inside their homes, others come out to mingle. The large group blocks traffic, but drivers don’t seem to mind.Participants brought out their cat gear, including this cat hat, for the tour.
Edwards did, however, want to clarify one thing: He does not have a cat. He described himself as more of a dog person.
