I must eat your head now.

The kitten chose violence.

It's a group watch.

Youth vs. wisdom. TBH, I think youth is winning here.

Cats are chaos agents and that's just the way it is.

Dogs at the swimming hole.

Sleeping off a hangover.

Don't let this fool you, winter is awful.

Seriously, do not believe winter's lies. It's nothing like that. It's a frigid shitshow.

After a dog was lost for three years, his owner gets a tip out of the blue that his beloved mutt might have been found living on the street as a stray.

Wait, today is Friday? Even better!

Baby cows running around like puppies.

Apparently everyone in Amsterdam is so high they made a cat a cop.

Is he really a cop? Well, that depends: Do you want to live in a world of whimsy and wonder, or do you want to know the truth?

There are gorgeous cats everywhere, peeking from windows, trotting down scenic streets, and even leaping from rooftops. With so many canals in the city, cats are often near the water. It's for that reason the city also has an unofficial police cat!
Nimis, the Police Cat of Amsterdam

A black cat, Nimis, lives on a houseboat with his senior brother, Tommy. His mom, Lydia, adopted him as a kitten. At two years old, he's still extremely playful. Unfortunately, that means he sometimes falls into the water! So his mom, Lydia, started putting a bright yellow life vest on him.

As you can see, she works on the police force. But whenever she goes out for walks with Nimis, people would laugh. His vest purrfectly matches her police uniform! It made the day more fun, and to make it even funnier, she applied police patches to his vest. From that moment on, his unofficial duties began.

Nimis is the cute nemesis to anyone who would be in a bad mood.

"He's been going through the neighborhood, and now everyone thinks of him as our local police agent cat," she said.

One day, Lydia started posting videos of Nimis on social media. At first, it was aimed at entertaining the family, and her young nieces. But then, the videos went viral, reaching millions of views!

"I wasn't about to start doing funny dances, so I did this," she said."It's crazy. It's crazy! I never expected that, of course. It was just for fun."

Every morning, Nimis wants to go on patrol, hopping to the round portal to see the view. When it's time, Lydia opens the window and he hops out to begin his adventures.

The Knight Cat (codename: K.I.T.T.Y.) goes on patrols and adventures which are documented here.
