What website am I thinking of?
May 12, 2020 6:15 PM Subscribe
I have this vague memory of a website from at least ten years ago called Cat Town. It was a collection of ridiculous stories illustrated by photos of cats in hats, originally from a Japanese website. There were recurring characters and I think they revolved around the mayor, who could have been a tuxedo cat who said "doo doo doo" a lot. This is all I remember but I loved it! I hope someone else remembers this - thank you!
Response by poster: Omg YESSSSSSS!!! Searching for Cat Town got me nowhere. You have made my night, prewar lemonade!

Spatch, you cannot see me cackling in my kitchen right now, but I assure you that there is much amusement. Thank you; I needed this laugh!
