Imagine taking a stroll down the street and seeing a cat’s head pop up out of a drain pipe hole! I’m sure you’d be both perplexed and amused all at the same time, and it’d be pretty hard to not have a smile cross your face.
That is exactly the sentiment that Japanese photographer Nyankichi Rojiupa captures in a series of photos he recently shot. These photos perfectly portray the lives of the street cats who call those holes their home.

It would be really bad if I personally took a stroll through this area. I’d want to take home more cats than I’d ever have room for!
