This woman built a ‘cat ladder’ to help felines escape the cold

A Turkish woman concerned about stray cats wandering the chilly alleys of her hometown during a winter cold-snap has found the purr-fect solution–and built a feline-friendly ladder to transport the kitties directly into her living room.

“I made the ladder so the cats can come into my comfortable house,” Åžebnem Ilhan, a dentist and cat enthusiast, told The Dodo.

The cat-ladder stretches from the sidewalk up to the window, and is adorned with flower pots lest her neighbors complain about the kitty contraption.

“I thought if I put some flower pots there, it wouldn’t bother anyone,” Ilhan told the site.

But her neighbors in the town of Tekirdag, Turkey don’t mind, and so far countless cats have taken advantage of her hospitality.

“I wish no animal is hungry or thirsty, just happy,” she said. “This world is not just for people.”
