My Husband and I went to York in feb this year and did the cat trail. We bought a cat and were given a free trail so we thought, why not? Well, we thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a highlight of our trip to the beautiful city of York. My husband, who isn't one for walking, didn't moan once.... More

This was good fun, and other towns should take note. Cats 11 & 12 are a little distance from map location but all good fun, even in the rain. So many things to see in York we will have to come back again

We stopped in at the glass shop on our first day in York, bought a lucky glass cat and were given the free map of cats, yes free, my 8 year old son put himself in charge, a great way to see the sights and encourages you to look all around rather than straight ahead. The glass shop became a... More

Found all 21, some were a bit tricky to spot but we did it! We did the kitten trail first then carried on and did the full trail. Very enjoyable and a good way to see York.

I grew up and lived in York for 30 years and decided to follow the trail out of pure curiosity when showing a friend around York. York is a beautiful city so its not difficult to show people the highlights but... More

Have been to York so many times and never knew about or ever noticed these catsand only found out about on the internet. So one weekend while staying over in the city to sample a few local cask ales my wife and I decided to combine this with our trip and we had a great time looking for the cats... More

Called in to see the jolly shopkeeper at his work - found it hard to resist on our second visit to York. Picked up a few nice pieces of glassware for my collection and then of course we just had to do the cat trail. A lovely hour was spent searching for the moggies around the town. We are cat... More
