“I love to do weird, goofy stuff like this,” said John Edwards, who organizes the yearly event.
Hundreds of people participating in the seventh annual the Wedge Cat Tour. The event is held in Lowry Hill East, also called “the Wedge,” every June. John Edwards thought it would be hilarious — and somewhat ridiculous — to lead a walk through his Minneapolis neighborhood admiring the many felines who live there.
On the evening of June 26, about 500 people of all ages congregated at a local park, ready to start the seventh annual cat tour. Many held signs saying“It’s incredibly weird,” Edwards said of his yearly event, which is free to attend. “I love to do weird, goofy stuff like this.” Now that the event has grown considerably, Edwards requests that residents who want to feature their felines in the tour whose owners saw the commotion outside and decided to bring out their furry friends to join in the fun. There was also a memorial for a former tour cat named Princess Pickles.
Paula Chesley is also a big fan of the cat tour. For three years, she showed off her cat Billie Jean. She brought her outside in a stroller to socialize with people.Billie Jean passed away last July, but Chesley was still eager to participate in the event.Chesley hopes her new rescue cat, Elvis, can be showcased in next year’s cat tour when he is less skittish. In the meantime, she loved meeting the other neighborhood cats.
“I love all animals, but I kind of prefer dogs, so it is odd that I’m the cat tour guy,” he said, explaining that a cat tour seemed simpler than a dog tour, as dogs tend to be less docile.
