Toronto Cat Tour
The one that made the format go viral: twenty-one cats, fifteen stops, and a TikTok that took it worldwide.
Natalie Czerwinski heard about the Minneapolis tour, thought "why not bring this here", and walked about a hundred people three miles across Toronto past twenty-one cats at fifteen stops. She led it herself, on foot, for roughly two hours.
Then TikTok found it. The tour’s Instagram went from 1,400 followers to more than 16,000 inside a month, and the idea stopped being a Minneapolis curiosity and became a thing other neighbourhoods could copy.
Which they did. The Dublin organiser says she got the idea from Toronto; the Somerville one credits Minneapolis and Toronto together. If this list has a hinge, it is this walk.
Dates move every year. Natalie Czerwinski has this year’s.
