The story

Story · Cat House

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on Meistaru iela, right in the old town of Riga, in front of the Cat House. In Latvian it's called Kaķu nams. Look straight up at the tops of the little turrets. Can you spot them? Two copper cats, backs arched and tails raised high. They look properly annoyed.
