Since a few days, a green-colored stray cat has been stalking along the backstreets of Varna, a quaint Black Sea resort town in Bulgaria.
Inhabitants first thought it was a cruel prank, and they had even formed a Facebook group to coordinate their search for the culprits. However, it has now been revealed that the cat developed an emerald green hue because it sleeps on a heap of powdered synthetic green paint at a local garage.
Reports say the poor cat becomes greener each day.
Locals have been trying to catch this handsome fellow so they can clean him off and check him for health issues. However, they haven't been successful so far.
Animal protection agencies are hoping that the stand-out nature of the feline won't influence owners to paint their cats. The RSPCA has warned that dyeing or painting animals for cosmetic reasons could have "potentially fatal consequences."
The green cat and his ginger friend surely don't seem to mind the bright color, but let's hope he'll get a bath soon.
Update: Varna's famous stray cat is looking a lot like himself again after an animal rescue team gave him a wash. He has returned to his natural color, save a few bright green highlights around his ears, eyes, and chest.

That is too bad for the cat. I wish someone would help the cat and get rid of the paint. It must smell good for the cat to want to roll in it. Happy Sunday to you.
ReplyDeleteThat can't possibly be healthy for the cat. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for that poor kitty. Hey, I went to vote but there wasn't any blogs under your category.
ReplyDeleteYou must have voted already then, so thank you :)
DeletePauvre minet ...
ReplyDeleteBon dimanche !
Awwww poor kitty. Someone should rescue that little bugger.
ReplyDeleteOh poor kitty. I hope someone can help him.
ReplyDeleteAt the very least someone should move or cover what he is sleeping on. That must be so toxic. Poor cat.
ReplyDeleteI voted for you. :-)
Pauvre chat. Quelqu'un pourrait avoir la décence de faire quelque chose pour lui.
ReplyDeleteOh geez. I thought you were photoshopping.
ReplyDeleteOh that poor cat! What if the paint stuff is toxic? Someone should really get rid of the paint thingies and replace 'em with a bed that's safe ESPECIALLY since the peeps livin' there know there's a problem. MOUSES!
ReplyDeletePurrs,

Aw, I hope the paint isn't hurting the cat! Otherwise, what a cutie. I hate that's a stray though.
ReplyDeletePoor cat, but it does look pretty though.
ReplyDeleteWe just hope the paint isn't harming that kitty. We voted!
ReplyDeleteIk hoop dat hij vergiftigd wordt door de verf. Hopelijk doen ze er iets aan. Fijne Maandag :) Pawkisses :) <3
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely shade of green but I just can't imagine that's "good" for the poor kitty - absorbing that paint just has to be toxic.....hopefully someone will take pity on him and give him a proper home. Meanwhile, I'm off to vote for you!!
ReplyDeletePam

That's crazy! I totally would have guessed it was photoshopped. Poor cat. It's gotta be a famous cat in that area.
ReplyDeleteIthe kitty is beautiful in its green fur coat, but that can't be good for her really! At first I thought you'd photoshopped the pic.
ReplyDeleteOoooo, that just looks freaky. I hope it's not hurting the cat.
ReplyDeleteWe thought the green cat was just a joke at first, but from reading the comments it seems like it is for real. That is so sad! We hope that someone will do something about it - possibly remove the green paint or rescue that adorable little guy!
ReplyDeletePox on his people.
