Let's face facts, if you're the kind of human who's scouring the internet for the latest cat news, there might have been a few weekends in your recent past where you found yourself hanging out alone with nothing to do. It's fine. I'm writing the cat articles, so ain't no shame in your game.The point is, I've got a solution for you and it combines all of our favorite things: cats, the internet, kitsch art, and (gasp) other humans!
A 23-year-old Atlanta-based artist who calls himself Catlanta has gained a following by making unique little cat magnets and hiding them around the city for other people to find. He posts photos of the magnets on Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr after he plants them around the city, and then his fans use the photos to try and track down a Catlanta original of their own.
The fun is that you need to know the city in order to piece together where the cats are hidden, and you're racing against like-minded strangers who want in on the action just as much as you do.
The whole thing is like a giant twee scavenger hunt, and the little magnets are each one-of-a-kind, so finding one is a badge of honor.
Go forth, Atlanta Urlbots, and follow Catlanta on your social media. Just be sure to send us photos when you track one of these bad boys down so we can be jealous of you.
