Cat lovers from across Europe have been flying to Poland to meet a city’s top rated attraction.

A black-and-white cat named Gacek is now a star in Szczecin, a city in northwestern Poland. The cute cat has become the top-rated tourist attraction in the Polish city, clocking up more than 2,500 reviews and achieving a near perfect 4.9/5 score, local news reports. For years Gacek has been living out of a box on Kaszubska Street, earning the affection and attention of locals who are keen to feed the hungry animal.

According to a local woman, Gacek first appeared on Kaszubska Street in downtown Szczecin about 10 years ago. He stuck around and people started taking a liking to him. Many of them also started feeding him, so from a thin cat, he soon turned into a fat animal, which only made him more adorable. In 2020, a video about him became popular on the Internet. Since then many people have made the journey to Szszecin to meet the “King of Kaszubska Street” for themselves.

According to Notes From Poland, Gacek does have a few one-star reviews, mostly from people who criticize(批评) his caretaker or express worry about his weight, but in all, the cat’s reviews are good.

Gacek lives in a roofed wooden box outside a shop on Kaszubska Street, and even though he doesn’t technically have an owner, the people who run the shop act as his caretakers. There is a sign outside his house that reminds passers-by to leave whatever treats they have for the cat in a sealed(密封的) container and to refrain from petting him when he’s sleeping in case of being hurt.

“As expected, he didn’t pay any attention to me which made the experience fully wholesome(有益身心的),” one visitor from Oslo who claimed to have made the trip all the way from Oslo, Norway — a journey of close to 1,000 kilometres — to meet the cat wrote. “If I could have dinner with anyone in the world, I would fly again in an instant to feed him. Can recommend!”
